AW1600 Owner’s Manual

2To switch pages within a screen, you can

either repeatedly press the same key as in

step 1, or hold down the same key as in

step 1 and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys.

If there are more pages than can

be shown in one screen, an

arrow like the following will

appear in the page display area.

This arrow means that one or

more additional hidden pages

exist in that direction.

To access a hidden page, hold down the same key as in

step 1, and press the [CURSOR] key of the same

direction as the arrow.

In pages that display a list of parameters for multiple

channels, the screen may be divided into a page for the

input channels/pad channels and a page for the track

channels, since not all of the parameters can be shown

in a single screen. In this case, use the [INPUT SEL]

keys, pads 1–4, or [TRACK SEL] keys to select the

channels that you want to view.

Here’s how to switch a button in the screen on/off.

1Use the [CURSOR] keys to

move the cursor to the

desired button in the

screen.

The button will be switched on/

off.

If you move the cursor to a but-

ton that executes a speciﬁc func-

tion and then press the [ENTER]

key, that function will be exe-

cuted.

Here’s how to edit the value of a fader, knob, or parameter

shown in the display.

keys to move the cur-

sor to the desired

fader, knob, or param-

eter value.
