MIDI
The A-16R supports MIDI communication via system exclusive (SysEx) messages. System Exclusive messages (sometimes referred to as data dumps) are designed to allow compatible devices to send and receive digital data, providing such functions as preset storage and/or parameter editing. System exclusive messages contain device-specific information that allow connected MIDI devices to identify compatible data and ignore data destined for other devices connected in a MIDI network.
On the A-16Rthe REMOTE/LOCAL switch is used to select the MIDI status:
•In the LOCAL position, MIDI is on.
•In the REMOTE position, MIDI is disabled.
