Setting MIDI messages B MMC MODE Specifies how MMC will be transmitted/received. • MASTER button....If this button is on, the AW1600 will be the MMC master. When you operate the transport, the corresponding MMC command will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/ THRU or USB connector. Use this setting when you want to remotely control an external MIDI device from the AW1600. • SLAVE button .......If this button is on, the AW1600 will be the MTC slave, and will follow MMC commands that it receives at the MIDI IN or USB connector. Use this setting when you want to remotely control the transport of the AW1600 from an external MIDI device. C DEV (device number) Specifies the MMC device number (1-127) that the AW1600 will receive. NOTE • The MMC device number is an identifying number used to distinguish devices that transmit and receive MMC commands. When using MMC, the AW1600 and the external MIDI device must be set to the same MMC device number. • The MMC device number is displayed as a decimal number starting from one. Some devices display the MMC device number as a hexadecimal number starting from zero. In this case, the numbers will correspond as follows. AW1600 display → hexadecimal display 1 → 00h 127 → 7Eh • The AW1600 always transmits MMC commands using the "All" device number (7Fh in hexadecimal). D MTC MODE Specifies how the AW1600 operate when synchronized with an external MIDI device using MTC (MIDI Time Code). • MASTER button....If this button is on, the AW1600 will be the MTC master. When you operate the transport of the AW1600, MTC will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU or USB connector. Use this setting if you want to the external MIDI device to follow the AW1600, or if you are using the AW1600 by itself. • SLAVE button .......If this button is on, the AW1600 will be an MTC slave, and will follow MTC data it receives at the MIDI IN or USB connector. Use this setting if you want to synchronize with a second AW1600 unit, or if you want to synchronize the AW1600 with an external MIDI device that can function only as the MTC master. HINT • When using the AW1600 as the MTC master, make sure that the MTC button in the SYNC OUT area is turned on. E AVRG (Average) Select one of the following to specify how closely the AW1600 will follow the incoming MTC data when functioning as an MTC slave. • 0 The AW1600 will synchronize to the incoming MTC data at the highest precision. However if the incoming MTC has significant instability, synchronization may be interrupted or become unreliable. • 1 This setting allows more tolerance of MTC instability than the "0" setting. • 2 This setting allows the maximum tolerance. Use this setting if the MTC master is an external MIDI device that has significant instability. HINT • When the AW1600 is functioning as an MTC slave and is operating in synchronization to an external MIDI device, and the accuracy of the incoming MTC becomes unstable, the AW1600 will make slight adjustments in its playback pitch in an attempt to follow. The AVRG parameter specifies the range of MTC variance that will be tolerated. F OFST (Offset) When using the AW1600 as an MTC slave, this parameter shifts the absolute time within the AW1600 forward or backward relative to the incoming MTC. The range is -24:00:00:00.00 to +24:00:00:00.00.
