MIDI
This chapter explains how MIDI can be used on the AW2816.
What you can do using MIDI
On the AW2816 you can use MIDI to do the follow-
ing things.
●
Synchronize operation with external devices
Synchronization signals such as MTC (MIDI Time
Code) or MIDI Clock can be sent from the AW2816
to an external MIDI device such as a computer or
MIDI sequencer, to synchronize the operation of the
external MIDI device with AW2816 song. (The
AW2816 is also able to receive MTC.)
●
Operate the transport/Select recording tracks
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages can be
transmitted to the AW2816 from a computer or
other external MIDI device, to remotely control the
AW2816’s transport or to enable/disable tracks for
recording.
●
Select scenes
When a scene is recalled on the AW2816, a pro-
gram change can be transmitted to an external MIDI
device. Conversely, program changes can be trans-
mitted from an external MIDI device to the
AW2816 to recall scenes on the AW2816.
●
Control mix parameters
When you operate internal AW2816 parameters
such as fader and pan, control change or system
exclusive messages can be transmitted to an exter-
nal MIDI device. These messages can also be trans-
mitted from an external device to the AW2816,
controlling the AW2816’s parameters.
●
MIDI Remote functions
The AW2816’s faders 1–8 and [ON] keys 1–8 can
be used to transmit previously-assigned MIDI mes-
sages to remotely control a MIDI tone generator or
other external device.
●
Bulk Dump
Internal settings such as libraries and scene memo-
ries can be output as bulk data, and stored on an
external device such as a MIDI sequencer. By trans-
mitting the stored bulk data back to the AW2816, its
internal settings can be restored to a prior condi-
tion.
