3.

“Track 1 Channel” through “Track 15&16 Channel,”
“Master Fader Channel” and “EXP Pedal Channel”),
and change the channel assignment using the TIME/
VALUE dial.
OFF:
Fader operation data will not be communicated via MIDI.
1 through 16:
This channel will be used to transmit and receive fader
operation data. If the same MIDI channel is set for a
number of different faders, any fader operation data
received on that channel will be used to operate all of the
corresponding faders simultaneously.
Confirming the current fader
positions
When fader operation data is received via MIDI, the setting
for the corresponding fader will change while the actual
fader remains in the same position, and as a result, the
volume level indicated by the fader and the actual volume
level will no longer match.
In such a case, you can use the following procedure to
confirm the fader position and the actual volume level.
1.
Press [UTILITY].
The Utility Menu screen will appear.
fig.12-12d
2.
Move the cursor to the FADER icon and press [ENTER/
YES].
Alternatively, you can press [F1] (FADER) if the FADER
icon is currently displayed.
A screen showing the various fader positions will
appear.
fig.50-25d
: Position of the fader (i.e., the indicated volume)
: Actual fader setting (i.e., the actual volume level)
Whenever you physically move a fader, the actual fader
setting will be aligned with the fader position, and this
condition is indicated by “
” in the fader display.
The MIDI channel setting will be maintained when
the BR-1600CD is turned off. Note, however, that if
you fail to turn the BR-1600CD off in accordance
with the correct shutdown procedure, this setting
data will be lost.
