Chapter1-Welcome to the world of the AW4416 ❒ Sampling pad section ❍ Assign 16 sounds to the sampling pads Sixteen sounds can be assigned to the eight pads with switchable A/B banks. Sounds can be sampled into these pads at the same 16 bit/24 bit and 44.1 kHz/ 48 kHz audio quality as for recording. Sampling sources can be taken from a sound file on hard disk, an audio CD inserted in the CD-RW drive, or from a WAV file on a SCSI device. The playback timing can be recorded on a special sequencer track, and edited later. Pad polyphony is eight notes, and a total of approximately 90 seconds can be sampled in the pads (16 bit/44.1 kHz). ❒ CD-RW drive (option) ❍ CD-RW drive(*3) can be installed internally You can produce an audio CD off-line, using stereo tracks from the hard disk. This allows entire process from recording to CD production to be completed within a single unit. The CD-RW drive can also be used to store recorded data, making backups easy. Playback of audio CD's and loading from CD-ROM is also supported, allowing these to be used as sources for the sampling pads. *3. A CD-RW drive is optional. ❒ Other features ❍ Simple panel layout and efficient operation The AW4416 features a large backlit LCD and a three-color FL display, providing a graphic user interface that can be used intuitively and efficiently. A serial mouse (9 pin D-sub connector) can also be connected. ❍ Two I/O card option slots Two slots support a variety of formats including ADAT, TASCAM, AES/EBU, and analog. The AW4416 is designed with an open architecture for superb expandability. ❍ Sophisticated connectivity TO HOST connector and SCSI connector (SCSI-2) are standard, ensuring easy connection to computers, external SCSI devices(*4), and MIDI devices. WORD CLOCK IN/OUT connectors are also provided to allow the construction of digital systems for a variety of applications. In addition, MTC/MIDI clock can be used for synchronization, and MMC commands can control the AW4416 from an external device. *4. External SCSI devices can be used only to back up data. They cannot be used to record audio data directly. 21 - Operation Guide
