Chapter 1: Overview of the DPS16
Terminology and functions unique to DPS16
The DPS16 is a product that integrates a hard disk recorder, digital mixer, and a digital effects processor. From
recording to output at the MASTER OUT jack, all data is processed in the digital domain. Therefore, its concept
and the way in which it works is slightly different than conventional MTRs or analog mixers. This section
introduces that concept and terminology unique to the DPS16.
About Project
The DPS16 manages songs by treating them as “Projects”. A Project contains audio data, mixer settings, locate
points (position information in a song), and scene memory (mix parameter settings).
The internal hard disk can store multiple Projects. However, the DPS16 can handle only one Project (current
Project) at a time. Load another Project from the disk or create a new Project, if necessary.

Physical tracks and virtual tracks
The DPS16 has 16 physical tracks and 250 virtual tracks.
A “physical track” is a track that is used to record, play back, and edit in the usual way. A “virtual track” is used to
store recorded audio data. You cannot edit or play back virtual tracks directly. However, you can still record, play
back, and edit them by assigning them to physical tracks.
