Chapter 14 MIDI and utility functions This chapter explains basic MIDI-related settings, functions that use MIDI, and various utility functions. What you can do using MIDI On the AW1600, you can use MIDI to do the following things. ● Synchronize operation with an external device You can synchronize an AW1600 song with the playback of an external device (such as a MIDI sequencer) by exchanging synchronization messages such as MTC (MIDI Time Code) or MIDI Clock with the external device. ● Remote control of the transport You can transmit MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages from a MIDI sequencer or other external MIDI device to the AW1600 to remotely control the AW1600's transport. Conversely, you can also transmit MMC from the AW1600 to an external device to control its transport. • Example of using MTC/MMC to synchronize the operation of the AW1600 and a MIDI sequencer (computer) MIDI OUT/ THRU connector MTC MIDI IN MIDI IN connector MMC MIDI OUT AW1600 or MTC/MMC USB cable External MIDI device (e.g., computer) ● Automate scene changes and mix parameter operations When you recall a scene on the AW1600 or operate its mix parameters, the corresponding messages (program changes or control changes) can be transmitted to an external device. If you record these messages on a MIDI sequencer that is synchronized to the AW1600 song, these scene recall operations or realtime mix parameter operations can be reproduced whenever you want. • Example of recording/playing scene selections and mix parameter operations on a MIDI sequencer (computer) MIDI OUT/ THRU connector Control changes Program changes MIDI IN MIDI IN connector MIDI OUT AW1600 Control changes Program changes or USB cable External MIDI device (e.g., computer) ● MIDI Remote "MIDI Remote" is a function that lets you use the AW1600 as a physical controller for an external device. You can assign the desired MIDI messages to the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys of the top panel, and use them to remotely control a MIDI device or computer program. • Example of using the AW1600 as a physical controller for a MIDI sound module Control changes System exclusive messages, etc. 14 MIDI and utility functions AW1600 MIDI OUT/THRU connector or MIDI IN Control changes System exclusive messages, etc. USB cable External MIDI device (e.g., computer) AW1600 Owner's Manual 157
