Using the MIDI Remote function • UNLATCH ........The [ON] key will be engaged only while held, and will turn off when released. MIDI data MIDI data transmitted (SW=7F) transmitted (SW=00) on off off D LEARN button When this button is on, the MIDI message received from an external device will be assigned to the currently selected fader or [ON] key. This is a convenient way to assign MIDI messages quickly. HINT • If two or more MIDI messages are received while the LEARN button is on, the last-received MIDI message will be entered in the MIDI message field. • If a system exclusive message longer than sixteen bytes is received, the first sixteen bytes will be displayed. NOTE • The [ON] key and fader LEARN buttons cannot be engaged simultaneously. E MIDI message This area displays the MIDI message that is assigned to the currently selected fader or [ON] key in hexadecimal form. You can move the cursor to each number box and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to edit the value of each byte (two-digital hexadecimal number). You can select the following values. • 00-FF (hexadecimal Corresponds to the actual value of the MIDI message that is transmitted. • END ....... Indicates the end of the MIDI message. When you operate a fader or [ON] key, the MIDI message starting with the first byte and ending with the byte that precedes END will be transmitted. • SW ([ON] key only Indicates the on/off status of the [ON] key. The byte you specify as SW will be transmitted as 7F (hexadecimal) when the key is turned on, or 00 (hexadecimal) when the key is turned off. • FAD ........ Indicates the current position of the fader. If the message is assigned to a fader, the byte you specify as FAD will be transmitted as a value of 00-7F (hexadecimal) corresponding to the fader position when you operate the fader. If the message is assigned to an [ON] key, this byte will be transmitted as a value corresponding to the current position of the fader when the [ON] key is turned on, and will be transmitted as a value of 00 (hexadecimal) when the [ON] key is turned off. HINT • The MIDI message assigned to a single fader or key cannot be longer than sixteen bytes. • If a SW byte is not assigned to an [ON] key, the MIDI message you enter will be transmitted only when you turn the key on. (In this case you will normally use the UNLATCH setting.) • When you use the LEARN button to assign a control change message to a fader, the END byte will automatically be entered at the end of the MIDI message. • When you use the LEARN button to assign a control change message to a fader, the FAD byte will be automatically entered as the variable value. NOTE • If you assign a MIDI message manually, be sure to enter END at the end of the message. • When you assign a MIDI message to a fader, FAD must be entered for one of the bytes. If FAD is not entered the fader will not function. • If you enter the values manually, it is possible that an invalid MIDI message will be entered. For this reason, you should use the LEARN button to assign MIDI messages whenever possible. Remotely controlling a tone generator module Here's how you can use the AW2400's MIDI Remote function to remotely control a tone generator module. 1 Connect the AW2400 to your tone generator module as shown in the following diagram. AW2400 MIDI messages MIDI OUT/ THRU MIDI IN Tone generator module 2 Use the Layer section [REMOTE] key to call the REMOTE screen 1-12 page or 13-16 page. This enables the Remote function. HINT • While the REMOTE screen is displayed, the functions of the faders and [ON] keys will be disabled; the faders and keys will function as controllers that transmit MIDI messages. • When the MIDI Remote function is enabled, the MIDI messages are transmitted via the connector/port selected in the MIDI screen Setting 1 page REMOTE OUT box.
