[. . . ] row, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the control change number to which a parameter will be assigned. The row enclosed by a dotted frame indicates the currently selected control change number. 1 Press the [MIDI] key ¡ [F4] key. The MIDI screen/CTL Asgn. In this page you can specify the parameter that is assigned to each control change. Control change numbers 0 and 32 are defined as "Bank Select" (messages used to switch sound banks on a synthesizer). Since some MIDI sequencers handle these bank select messages differently than other control changes, these messages may not be suitable for controlling parameters. 202 Operation section 3 Move the cursor to the PARAMETER area, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the parameter that you want to assign. For example if you want to assign the FADER group parameter "AUX bus 1 master level, " set the items of the PARAMETER area to (from left to right) "FADER, " "MASTER, " "AUX 1. " 2 Press the [MIDI] key ¡ [F1] key. The MIDI screen/MIDI Setup 1 page will appear. In this page you can use the TX (transmit) and RX (receive) buttons of the CONTROL CHANGE area to turn control change transmission and reception on/off. Tip! · For the parameters that are assigned to each control change number by default, refer to page 280. · Of the parameters that can be assigned, channel faders, AUX sends, [ON] keys, EQ, and pan operations can also be recorded in automix. (For details on automix, refer to page 133. ) If you use automix to record operations that can be recorded on automix, and record the remaining parameter operations on an external MIDI sequencer, you can minimize the amount of MIDI messages that need to be transmitted between the AW2816 and your MIDI sequencer. 3 s Recording/playing parameter operations on a MIDI sequencer Here's how you can operate AW2816 parameters to transmit control changes, record these messages on a MIDI sequencer that is synchronized with the AW2816, and then play back the recorded messages. Move the cursor to the TX (transmit) button in the CONTROL CHANGE area, and press the [ENTER] key to switch the button ON. In the same way, turn the RX (receive) button of the CONTROL CHANGE area ON. With these settings, operating a parameter on the AW2816 will transmit the corresponding control change. Also, the corresponding parameter will change when a control change is received from an external device. 1 Connect the AW2816 and your MIDI sequencer as shown in the following diagram, and make settings so that the AW2816 and MIDI sequencer will operate in synchronization using MTC. For details on synchronizing with MTC, refer to page 192. MTC master MTC MTC OUT Control MIDI IN 1 connector changes connector MIDI IN 2 MIDI OUT/THRU connector Control connector changes MTC slave 4 Move the cursor to the Tx CH numerical box in the MIDI CH. area, and set the MIDI channel that will be used for transmission. Then move the cursor to the numerical box of the Rx CH, and set the MIDI channel for reception. AW2816 MIDI IN connector MIDI OUT External MIDI connector device (e. g. , computer) Tip! · Normally you should set the Receive and Transmit channels to the same setting. · If the OMNI button is turned ON in the CONTROL CHANGE area, control changes of all MIDI channels will be received, regardless of the Receive channel setting. MIDI Before you record and play back control change messages on a MIDI sequencer, make sure that the MIDI Thru function (sometimes called "Patch Thru" or "MIDI Echo") of the sequencer is turned off. If this function is on, the control changes transmitted from the AW2816 will be immediately returned to the AW2816, causing malfunctions. 13 Operation section 203 13 Chapter MIDI 5 Put your MIDI sequencer in record-ready mode, and play back the song on the AW2816. The two devices will run in synchronization. Using system exclusive to operate parameters On the AW2816 you can use a type of system exclusive messages called "parameter changes" to operate internal parameters, instead of using control changes. Here's how to record/playback parameter changes on your MIDI sequencer. When recording parameter operations on a MIDI sequencer, you must turn automix off (DISABLE). If the automix function is on (ENABLE), control changes will also be transmitted for the parameters operated by automix. Tip! For details on the parameters that can be operated by parameter change messages, refer to "MIDI data format" at the end of this manual. 6 Access the screen containing the parameter that you assigned to a control change, and operate that parameter. Control change messages corresponding to the parameter movements will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector or TO HOST connector, and will be recorded on your MIDI sequencer. 1 Connect the AW2816 and your MIDI sequencer as shown the diagram on page 203, and make settings so that the AW2816 and MIDI sequencer will operate in synchronization using MTC. For details on MTC synchronization, refer to page 192. Before you record and play back parameter change messages on a MIDI sequencer, make sure that the MIDI Thru function (sometimes called "Patch Thru" or "MIDI Echo") of the sequencer is turned off. If this function is on, the parameter changes transmitted from the AW2816 will be immediately returned to the AW2816, causing malfunctions. 2 7 8 9 When you have finished operating the parameter, press the STOP [ ] key to stop the song. The MIDI sequencer will also stop. Press the [MIDI] key ¡ [F1] key. The MIDI screen/MIDI Setup 1 page will appear. Put the MIDI sequencer in playback-ready mode. On the AW2816, locate to a location earlier than where you recorded the parameter operation, and play back the song. The MIDI sequencer will play back in synchronization with the AW2816. When the AW2816 receives control change messages from the MIDI sequencer, the corresponding parameters will change. 3 Move the cursor to the TX (transmit) button in the PARAMETER CHANGE area, and press the [ENTER] key to turn the button ON. In the same way, switch the RX (receive) button ON in the PARAMETER CHANGE area. 204 Operation section With these settings, operating a parameter will cause the corresponding parameter change to be transmitted. When a parameter change is received from an external device, the corresponding parameter will be controlled. 4 5 6 7 8 Put your MIDI sequencer in record-ready mode, and play back the AW2816 song. Both devices will begin running in synchronization. Operate a parameter on the AW2816. Parameter change messages corresponding to the parameter movements will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector or TO HOST connector, and will be recorded on your MIDI sequencer. When you have finished operating the parameter, press the STOP [ ] key to stop the song. The MIDI sequencer will also stop. Put the MIDI sequencer in playback-ready mode. On the AW2816, locate to a location earlier than where you recorded the parameter operation, and play back the song. The MIDI sequencer will play back in synchronization with the AW2816. When the AW2816 receives parameter change messages from the MIDI sequencer, the corresponding parameters will change. 13 Operation section MIDI 205 13 Chapter MIDI Remotely controlling an external MIDI device This section explains the "MIDI Remote" function that lets you use faders 1­8 and [ON] keys 1­8 to control an external device. s MIDI messages that can be assigned to [ON] keys MIDI messages with a value that switches between 0 and 127 can be assigned to an [ON] key. For example if you assign control change #64 (Hold) to an [ON] key, and make settings so that the [ON] key switches between values of 0 and 127, a control change message of #64 with a value of 127 (Hold On) will be transmitted when you turn the [ON] key on (lit), and the same message with a value of 0 (Hold Off) will be transmitted when you turn the [ON] key off (dark). Control change number 64 (value=127) Transmitted Control change number 64 (value=0) Transmitted About the MIDI Remote function The AW2816 lets you assign a desired MIDI message to each fader 1­8 and [ON] key 1­8, and transmit the assigned MIDI messages by operating the faders and [ON] keys.
