MIDI data format

1. Functions

1.1. Scene Change

The settings of the [MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE] specify the

scene that is recalled when a Program Change message is received.

The settings of the [MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE] specify the

program number that is transmitted when a scene is recalled. If more

than one program number has been assigned to that scene memory

number, the lowest-numbered program number will be transmitted.

1.2. MMC Control

These messages allow basic recorder operations such as STOP/PLAY/

REC/LOCATE.

If you select the MIDI SETUP menu item MMC MASTER, MMC

commands will be transmitted according to the operation of the

transport. If you select MMC SLAVE, the internal recorder will oper-

ate according to the received MMC commands.

1.3. Effect Control

Depending on the type of effect, note-on/off messages can be used

for control.

These settings are made for the parameters of each effect.

1.4. MIDI Clock transmission

If you set MIDI OUT to MIDI CLOCK, MIDI clock messages can be

transmitted during playback or recording.

In MIDI Clock transmission mode, Song Position Pointer and Start/

Stop/Continue commands will also be issued, and during playback

or recording, MIDI Clock will be transmitted according to the MIDI

Tempo Map.

1.5. MTC transmission (MTC Master)

If you set MIDI OUT to MTC, MTC can be transmitted during play-

back or recording.

1.6. MTC reception (MTC Slave)

If you set MTC MODE to SLAVE, the internal recorder will operate

in synchronization with MTC messages received from the MIDI IN

connector.

1.7. Realtime control of parameters

Control changes can be used to send/receive internal parameters in

realtime.

1.8. Transmission of scene memories or data

The bulk dump function can be used to send data to another device,

or copy settings from another device to the AW16G.

1.9. MIDI Remote

The faders, SEL keys, and RTZ / FF / REW / STOP / PLAY / REC keys

can be used to control an external MIDI device.

In PRESET mode, operating the above controllers will transmit

MIDI data according to the preset settings of the AW16G.

In USER mode, operating the above controllers will transmit the

MIDI data that you specify.

3. AW16G settings and operation

3.1. MIDI Setup

Set basic MIDI operation.

3.1.1. MIDI OUT

Specify the function of the MIDI OUT connector.

3.1.2. MMC MODE

Select whether the AW16G will be the MMC MASTER or SLAVE.

3.1.3. MMC Dev.

Specify the ID number that will be used when transmitting or receiv-

ing MMC commands.

3.1.4. MTC SYNC MODE

Select whether the AW16G will be the MTC MASTER or SLAVE.

3.1.5. MTC SYNC AVERAGE

When the AW16G is functioning as a MTC SLAVE, this setting speci-

ﬁes how it will follow the MTC data. Set this to 0 if the incoming

MTC data has a highly accurate timing; set this to 1 or 2 if the timing

of the incoming MTC data is not as accurate (such as when receiving

MTC from a software sequencer).

3.1.6. MTC SYNC OFFSET

When the AW16G is functioning as a MTC SLAVE, this setting adds

an offset to the received MTC data. The received time code value

shifted by this amount will correspond to the location indicated by

the internal time code of the AW16G.

3.1.7. MIDI Tx Ch

This sets the MIDI channel that will normally be used.

However, transmission in response to a request will occur on the

Receive Channel, in order to specify the device that transmitted the

request.

3.1.8. MIDI Rx Ch

This sets the MIDI channel that will be used for reception. If this is

set to ALL, data of all MIDI channels will be receive d.
