Using the AW1600 with external devices

Here’s how you can use the AW1600’s MIDI Remote function to remotely control a tone genera-

tor module.

1Connect the AW1600 to your tone generator
module as shown in the following diagram.
2Use the Work Navigate section [REMOTE]
key to access the PRESET page of the
REMOTE screen.
The Remote function will be enabled.
3Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the pre-
set that you want to use.
For example if you select preset 06 (XG 1-16), the
AW1600’s faders will control the volume of parts 1–
16 of your XG tone generator, and [TRACK SEL]
keys 1–16 will control the on/off status of parts 1–16.
4If necessary, use the buttons in the CH area
to select the MIDI channels to which the
faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will corre-
spond.
The buttons in the CH area select the combination of
MIDI channels that are assigned to the faders and
[TRACK SEL] keys. For the combination of MIDI
channels used when each button is on, refer to “MIDI
and utility functions” ( p. 157).
5Operate the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys
of the AW1600.
The messages assigned to the faders and [TRACK
SEL] keys will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/
THRU connector, and the parameters of your tone
generator module will change accordingly.

While the REMOTE screen is displayed, the functions of the
faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will be disabled; the faders and
keys will function as controllers that transmit MIDI messages.
The MIDI Remote function is enabled whenever the REMOTE
screen is displayed.

It is also possible to assign your own MIDI messages to the
AW1600’s faders and [TRACK SEL] keys. For details, refer to
“MIDI and utility functions” (
