Using the MIDI Remote function Using the MIDI Remote function About the MIDI Remote function The AW2400 provides a MIDI Remote function that lets you use the top-panel controls to transmit the desired MIDI messages. By using the MIDI Remote function, you can use the AW2400 as a physical controller for a computer program or MIDI tone generator. MIDI messages can be assigned to the following controls. ● Mixer section • Faders 1-12, 13-16 • [ON] keys 1-12, 13-16 ● Transport section • RTZ [ ] key • REW [ ] key • FF [ ] key • STOP [ ■ ] key • PLAY [ ] key • REC [ ● ] key Of these, MIDI messages assigned to the faders and [ON] keys can be freely reassigned. You can assign the following types of message. Control change number 64 (value= 127) transmit Control change number 64 (value= 0) transmit Alternatively, you can specify that a MIDI message with a fixed value is transmitted only when you press the [ON] key to turn it on (indicator lit). For example if you assign program change #1, that program change number will be transmitted each time you turn on the [ON] key. Program change number 1 transmit Program change number 1 transmit ■ Messages that can be assigned to faders A MIDI message whose value changes over a range of 0-127 can be assigned to each fader. For example if you assign control change #7 (volume) to a fader, you can use the fader to control the volume of a MIDI tone generator. Control change number 7 transmit Value = 127 Value =0 ■ Messages that can be assigned to the [ON] keys A MIDI message whose value changes between the two states, 0 and 127, can be assigned to each [ON] key. For 20 example if you assign control change #64 (hold) to an [ON] key and specify that the control change value alternates between 0 and 127, pressing the [ON] key to turn it on (indicator lit) will transmit control change #64 with a value of 127 (Hold on), and turning it off (indicator out) will transmit control change #64 with a value of 0 (Hold off). MIDI Using the MIDI Remote function presets The REMOTE screen 1-12 page and 13-16 page provide 14 different MIDI Remote presets (ten factory presets and four user presets). These presets have been created with specific devices and computer sequencer programs in mind, and assign the necessary messages to the AW2400's faders and [ON] keys. You can use the MIDI Remote function immediately, just by selecting a preset in this page and connecting the appropriate external MIDI device. Sequencer programs that are supported ● Windows • Cubase SX 3.0.1 • Logic Platinum 5.5.1 (*1) • Nuendo 3.0.1 • Sonar 4.0.1 Producer Edition ● Macintosh • Cubase SX 3.0.1 • Logic Pro 7.0.1 (*1) • Nuendo 3.0.1 • Protools TDM 6.7 (*2) *1 Use the setting file from the included CD-ROM to map the AW2400's faders/[ON] keys/transport keys to the Logic key commands. Track assignments must be made within Logic as appropriate for your system. *2 Select the CS-10 settings as the MIDI controller type. For details on the CS-10 settings, ask Digidesign. 204 AW2400 Owner's Manual
