Using the MIDI Remote function About the MIDI Remote function The AW16G 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 AW16G 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. ■ Messages that can be assigned to faders A MIDI message whose value changes in a range of 0-127 can Control change number 7 be assigned to each fader. For transmit example if you assign control Value = change #7 (volume) to a fader, you 127 can move the fader to control the volume of a MIDI tone generator. 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). Control change Control change number 64 (value= 127) 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 Program change number 1 transmit transmit Using the MIDI Remote function presets The PRESET page of the REMOTE screen provides ten different MIDI Remote presets. These presets have been created with specific devices and computer sequencer programs in mind, and assign the necessary messages to the AW16G'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 external MIDI device. Sequencer programs that are supported ● Windows • Logic5 5.0.1 *1 • Logic Audio Platinum 4.6 *1 • Cubase VST/32 5.1r1 • Cakewalk ProAudio 9.02 • SONAR 1.01 ● Macintosh • Logic5 5.0.1 *1 • Logic Audio Platinum 4.6 *1 • Cubase VST/32 5.1r1 *2 • Cubase VST/32 5.0 • ProTools LE 5.11 *1. Use the setting file from the included CD-ROM to map the AW16G's faders/[TRACK SEL] keys/transport keys to the Logic key commands. Track assignments must be made within Logic as appropriate for your system. *2. The [RTZ] key will not function. 14 MIDI and utility functions To access the PRESET page of the REMOTE screen, repeatedly press the Work Navigate section [REMOTE] key or hold down the [REMOTE] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys.
