Chapter MIDI 13 Remotely controlling an external MIDI device This section explains the "MIDI Remote" function that lets you use faders 1-8 and [ON] keys 1-8 to control an external device. About the MIDI Remote function The AW2816 lets you assign a desired MIDI message to each fader 1-8 and [ON] key 1-8, and transmit the assigned MIDI messages by operating the faders and [ON] keys. This is called the "MIDI Remote" function. The following types of message can be assigned to the faders and [ON] keys. s MIDI messages that can be assigned to faders MIDI messages with a value that changes in a range of 0-127 can be assigned to a fader. For example if you assign control change #7 (volume) to a fader, and make settings so that the control change value changes in the range of 0-127, you will be able to use fader movements to control the volume of a MIDI tone generator in a range of 0-127. Control change number 7 Value= 127 Transmitted s MIDI messages that can be assigned to [ON] keys MIDI messages with a value that switches between 0 and 127 can be assigned to an [ON] key. For example if you assign control change #64 (Hold) to an [ON] key, and make settings so that the [ON] key switches between values of 0 and 127, a control change message of #64 with a value of 127 (Hold On) will be transmitted when you turn the [ON] key on (lit), and the same message with a value of 0 (Hold Off) will be transmitted when you turn the [ON] key off (dark). Control change number 64 (value=127) Transmitted Control change number 64 (value=0) Transmitted You can also make settings so that a MIDI message with a fixed value is transmitted only when the [ON] key is turned on (lit). For example you can assign a program change #1 message so that the corresponding program change message will be transmitted each time the [ON] key is switched on. Program change number 1 Transmitted Program change number 1 Transmitted Value= 0 206 Operation section
