Fostex recently announced the introduction of version V2.0 software for the VF-16 multitracker. This software allows the user to connect to an outboard CD-ROM burner.

"With this new software, users will have the ability to archive recordings in real-time," says Phil Celia, Fostex Director of Marketing and Sales. "This is a very cost-effective solution to backing up recorded material. CD burners are inexpensive and have high storage capacity. Beginning in February all VF-16 multitrackers will come equipped with version V2.0. Current owners may simply contact Fostex tech support and the program will be made available via a download at no charge from www.fostex.com. A Zip drive is required to accommodate the transfer. The file is 388KB and also contains a PDF supplemental manual." 16-bit, 44.1kHz CD quality recording with up to three hours of recording time per Gigabyte. A standard E-IDE 3.5-inch hard drive is used for storage, which can upgraded if larger capacity is required. Operating functions include COPY/PASTE, MOVE/PASTE, ERASE and non-destructive editing with UNDO/REDO. SPDIF and ADAT I/Os are included as well as external SCSI for backup. The unit also imports and exports .WAV files.
