Using the AW16G with external devices Remotely controlling a tone generator module Here's how you can use the AW16G's MIDI Remote function to remotely control a tone generator module. 1 Connect the AW16G to your tone generator module as shown in the following diagram. Control changes MIDI OUT MIDI IN Tone generator module AW16G 2 Use the Work Navigate section [REMOTE] key to access the PRESET page of the REMOTE screen. The Remote function will be enabled. Tip! • While the REMOTE screen is displayed, the functions of the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will be disabled; the faders and keys will function as controllers that transmit MIDI messages. • The MIDI Remote function is enabled whenever the REMOTE screen is displayed. However, MIDI messages will not be output if the MIDI button is turned off in the MIDI page (→ p. 150). 3 Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the preset that you want to use. For example if you select preset 06 (XG 1-16), the AW16G's faders will control the volume of parts 1- 16 of your XG tone generator, and [TRACK SEL] keys 1-16 will control the on/off status of parts 1- 16. 4 If necessary, use the buttons in the CH area to select the MIDI channels to which the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will correspond. The buttons in the CH area select the combination of MIDI channels that are assigned to the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys. For the combination of MIDI channels used when each button is on, refer to "MIDI and utility functions" (→ p. 149). 5 Operate the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys of the AW16G. The messages assigned to the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/ THRU connector, and the parameters of your tone generator module will change accordingly. Tip! It is also possible to assign your own MIDI messages to the AW16G's faders and [TRACK SEL] keys. For details, refer to "MIDI and utility functions" (→ p. 149). 166
