MIDI screen C PARAMETER CHANGE Use the following buttons to make transmission/ reception settings for the system exclusive messages (parameter changes) that control the AW2816's parameters. • TX (transmission) ... Turns parameter change transmission on/off. When this button is on, operating a AW2816 parameter will cause the parameter change message assigned to that parameter to be transmitted. • RX (reception) ..... Turns parameter change reception on/off. When this button is on, receiving a parameter change message will cause the corresponding parameter of the AW2816 to change. • ECHO When this button is on, the identical message will be retransmitted from the MIDI OUT/TO HOST connectors when a parameter change message is received. D BULK This button turns bulk data reception on/off, as well as reception of messages that requires a bulk dump (Bulk Dump Request). Tip! Bulk Dump data consists of system exclusive messages containing various internal memory settings of the AW2816 (scene memory, library, and automix data), as well as MIDI settings. By recording bulk data on an external device such as a MIDI sequencer, you can backup the internal settings of the AW2816. Bulk data transmission is performed in the MIDI screen Bulk Dump page. E MTC SYNC When using MTC (MIDI Time Code) to synchronize the AW2816 and an external MIDI device, this setting selects whether the AW2816 will function as the MTC master or as an MTC slave. • MASTER button When this button is on, the AW2816 will be the MTC master, and MTC will be transmitted from the MTC OUT connector when the transport of the AW2816 is operated. Use this setting when you want an external MIDI device to follow the AW2816, or when using the AW2816 by itself. • SLAVE button When this button is on, the AW2816 will be an MTC slave. When MTC is received from the MIDI IN/TO HOST connector when the AW2816 is in playback-ready mode, the AW2816 will run in accordance with the MTC messages. Use this setting when you want two AW2816 units to operate in synchronization, or when you want the AW2816 to synchronize with a device that can only function as the MTC master. Tip! The MTC generated within the AW2816 can also be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/TO HOST connector as well as from the MTC OUT connector. This setting is made in the MIDI screen/MIDI Setup2 page. F SYNC OFFSET When the AW2816 is used as an MTC slave, you can shift the absolute time of the AW2816 relative to the MTC that is received. The range is "-24:00:00:00.00"-"+24:00:00:00.00". Sync offset = 00:00:00:00.00 Received time code 00:00:10:00.00 Time code display (ABS) 00:00:10:00.00 Song 00:00:15:00.00 00:00:15:00.00 00:00:20:00.00 00:00:20:00.00 Sync offset = +00:00:05:00.00 Received time code 00:00:10:00.00 Time code 00:00:15:00.00 display (ABS) Song 00:00:15:00.00 00:00:20:00.00 00:00:20:00.00 00:00:25:00.00 Sync offset =


00:00:05:00.00 Received time code 00:00:10:00.00 Time code display (ABS) 00:00:05:00.00 Song 00:00:15:00.00 00:00:10:00.00 00:00:20:00.00 00:00:15:00.00 Tip! The Sync Offset setting does not affect the MTC that is transmitted from the AW2816's MTC OUT connector. If you want the MTC that is transmitted from the MTC OUT connector to be shifted relative to the AW2816's absolute time, you must change the Time Code Top (¡P.239). G SYNC AVERAGE When the AW2816 is used as an MTC slave, this setting specifies the range of tolerance for irregularities in MTC timing. Select one of the following three settings. • OFF button When this button is on, the range of tolerance will be narrowest, and the AW2816 will synchronize to the incoming MTC with the highest precision. However if there is significant instability in the received MTC, synchronization may be lost or may become unstable. This setting is appropriate when you are synchronizing two AW2816 units. • 1 button/2 button Turning the 1 button on will increase the range of tolerance, and turning the 2 button on will specify the maximum tolerance. These settings are appropriate when an external device with greater MTC instability (such as a tape recorder or computerbased sequencer) is being used as the MTC master. Reference section 273
