Using the MIDI Remote function Using the MIDI Remote function About the MIDI Remote function The AW1600 provides a MIDI Remote function that lets you use the controls of the top panel to transmit the desired MIDI messages. By using the MIDI Remote function, you can use the AW1600 as a physical controller for a computer program or MIDI tone generator. MIDI messages can be assigned to the following controls. ● Mixer section • Faders 1-8, 9/10-15/16 • [TRACK SEL] keys 1-8, 9/10-15/16 ● Transport section • RTZ [ ] key • FF [ ] key • PLAY [ ] key • REW [ ] key • STOP [■] key • REC [●] key Of these, the MIDI messages assigned to the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys can be freely reassigned. You can assign the following types of message. Control change number 64 (value= 127) Control change number 64 (value= 0) transmit transmit Alternatively, you can specify that a MIDI message with a fixed value is transmitted only when you press the [TRACK SEL] key to turn it on (lit). For example if you assign program change #1, the program change of that number will be transmitted each time you turn on the [TRACK SEL] key. Program change number 1 transmit Program change number 1 transmit ■ Messages that can be assigned to faders A MIDI message whose value changes in 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 move 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 [TRACK SEL] keys A MIDI message whose value changes between the two states of 0 or 127 can be assigned to each [TRACK SEL] key. For example if you assign control change #64 (hold) to a [TRACK SEL] key and specify that the control change value alternates between 0 and 127, pressing the [TRACK SEL] key to turn it on (lit) will transmit control change #64 with a value of 127 (Hold on), and turning it off (dark) will transmit control change #64 with a value of 0 (Hold off).

AW1600

Owner’s Manual

The AW1600 provides a MIDI Remote function that lets

you use the controls of the top panel to transmit the

desired MIDI messages.

By using the MIDI Remote function, you can use the

AW1600 as a physical controller for a computer program

or MIDI tone generator.

MIDI messages can be assigned to the following controls.

●

Mixer section

• Faders 1–8, 9/10–15/16

• [TRACK SEL] keys 1–8, 9/10–15/16

●

Transport section

• RTZ [

] key

•

REW [

] key

• FF [

] key

•

STOP [

■

] key

• PLAY [

] key

•

REC [

●

] key

Of these, the MIDI messages assigned to the faders and

[TRACK SEL] keys can be freely reassigned. You can

assign the following types of message.

A MIDI message whose value

changes in a range of 0–127 can be

assigned to each fader. For exam-

ple if you assign control change #7

(volume) to a fader, you can move

the fader to control the volume of a

MIDI tone generator.

A MIDI message whose value changes between the two

states of 0 or 127 can be assigned to each [TRACK SEL]

key. For example if you assign control change #64 (hold)

to a [TRACK SEL] key and specify that the control

change value alternates between 0 and 127, pressing the

[TRACK SEL] key to turn it on (lit) will transmit control

change #64 with a value of 127 (Hold on), and turning it

off (dark) will transmit control change #64 with a value of

0 (Hold off).

Alternatively, you can specify that a MIDI message with a

ﬁxed value is transmitted only when you press the

[TRACK SEL] key to turn it on (lit). For example if you

assign program change #1, the program change of that

number will be transmitted each time you turn on the

[TRACK SEL] key.

The PRESET page of the REMOTE screen provides ten

different MIDI Remote presets. These presets have been

created with speciﬁc devices and computer sequencer pro-

grams in mind, and assign the necessary messages to the

AW1600’s faders and [TRACK SEL] keys. You can use

the MIDI Remote function immediately, just by selecting

a preset in this page and connecting the appropriate exter-

nal MIDI device.

Sequencer programs that are supported

Use the setting ﬁle from the included CD-ROM to map the

AW1600’s faders/[TRACK SEL] keys/transport keys to the Logic

key commands. Track assignments must be made within Logic as

appropriate for your system.

Select the CS-10 settings as the MIDI controller type. For details

on the CS-10 settings, ask Digidesign.
