6 Operate faders 1-16/[ON] keys 1-16. The MIDI messages assigned to the corresponding fader/[ON] key will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. Tip! • Even when the REMOTE screen is displayed, the function of the faders and [ON] keys of the stereo output channel will not change. • The Remote A/Remote B fader positions and [ON] key on/off status can be saved in a scene. • Fader and [ON] key operations can also be recorded in automix. By using automix to record operations separately in each page, you can perform up to 32 channels of fader/[ON] key operations. s Assigning a MIDI message to a fader The MIDI Remote function lets you assign a MIDI message of up to 16 bytes to each fader/each [ON] key. A message can be assigned in one of two ways. You can input the desired message manually, one byte at a time. Or you can capture a MIDI message received from the MIDI IN connector/TO HOST connector/ option slot, and assign it either without change or after editing it. Here we will explain how to transmit a modulation wheel message (control change #1) from a synthesizer to the AW4416, and assign it to a desired fader. 1 Connect the MIDI OUT/THRU connector of the AW4416 to the MIDI IN connector of your synthesizer, and the MIDI IN connector of the AW4416 to the MIDI OUT connector of your synthesizer.
