Here’s how to make various settings for a song, such as switching protect on/off and selecting

the counter display format and time code format.

1In the Work Navigate section, press the

[SONG] key.

The SONG screen will appear.

2Repeatedly press the [SONG] key or hold

down the [SONG] key and use the CURSOR

[ ]/[ ] keys to access the SETUP page.

This page contains the following items.

in the center of the top line in the display.

for the time code used by the AW1600.

3To switch the protect setting on/off, move

the cursor to the PROTECT button and

press the [ENTER] key.

Protect is a setting that prohibits any change to the

song data. If protect is turned on, the PROTECT but-

ton will be highlighted, and it will not be possible to

perform additional recording or editing, or to erase the

song.

4To change the counter display format, move

the cursor to one of the buttons in the

COUNTER DISPLAY area and press the

[ENTER] key.

In the COUNTER DISPLAY area, use the following

buttons to select the display format for the counter that

is shown in the center of the top line in the display.

• ABS (absolute time)

............ Display the current location in hours/

minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the

absolute time zero location as 0.

• REL (relative time)

............ Display the current location in hours/

minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the

relative time zero location as 0.

• SEC.......... Display the current location in hours/

minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the

Start point as 0.

•T.C............ Display the current location in time code

(hours/minutes/seconds/frames), with

the Start point as 0.

• REMAIN ... When this button is on, the remaining

recordable time with the selected num-

ber of recording tracks will be displayed

instead of the current location.

5To change the time code frame rate, move

the cursor to one of the buttons in the TIME

CODE BASE area, and press the [ENTER]

key.

In the TIME CODE BASE area you can choose one of

the following frame rates to specify the minimum unit

of time code.

•24............ 24 frames/second

•25............ 25 frames/second

•30............ 30 frames/second (30 non-drop frame)

• 30D........... 29.97 frames/second (30 drop-frame)

Editing various settings for the song

• These settings apply only to the current song. Before you perform this proce-

dure, load the song whose settings you want to edit.

•The counter display mode (with the exception of REMAIN) and timecode frame

rate changes will be saved with the song data when the song is saved.

NOTE

3 2

•We recommend that you turn protect on for important songs.

•Even if protect is on, you can still copy the song (

→

p. 147)

and adjust the mixer settings.

HINT

•The counter in the upper right of the display always shows the

current location in measure/beat units, relative to the Start

point.

• The measure/beat display will depend on the settings in the

TEMPO page of the SONG screen. For details, refer to “Cre-

ating a tempo map” (

→

p. 149).

NOTE

•This setting affects both the counter time code display and the

MTC that the AW1600 transmits and receives. If the AW1600

is sending or receiving MTC to or from an external device, you

must set both devices to the same frame rate.

HINT

•With the exception of COUNTER DISPLAY, the settings in the

SETUP page of the SONG screen cannot be changed while

the AW1600 is running.
