Using the AW1600 with external devices
Here’s how you can transmit program changes from the
built-in sequencer of your workstation to switch scenes on
the AW1600.
1In the Control section, use the [SCENE] key
to access the PC TABLE page of the SCENE
screen.
This page lets you assign a scene number to each pro-
gram change.
1List
This lists the scenes of the current song. The line
enclosed by a dotted frame is the scene currently
selected for operations.
BProgram change number
This indicates the program change number 001–128.
Move the cursor to this number and turn the [DATA/
JOG] dial to scroll the list upward or downward.
CScene
Move the cursor to this area and turn the [DATA/JOG]
dial to select the scene that you want to assign to the
corresponding program number.
DINITIALIZE button
Returns the program change assignments to the initial
state.
2Move the cursor to the program change
number, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to
select the program change number whose
assignment you want to change.
3Move the cursor to the scene in the list, and
turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the scene
that you want to assign to the correspond-
ing program change number.
4Repeat steps 3–4 to assign the desired
scenes to other program change numbers.
1Connect the AW1600 and your workstation
synth as shown in the diagram below.
2In the Work Navigate section, use the [UTIL-
ITY] key to access the MIDI 2 page of the
UTILITY screen.
3Set the PGM CHG MODE field to RX.
With this setting, the AW1600 will receive program
changes.
4Move the cursor to RX in the MIDI CH area,
and select the MIDI channel on which MIDI
messages will be received.
5Transmit a program change message from
your workstation synth to the AW1600 on
the MIDI channel that you selected.
The scene assigned to that program change number
will be recalled.
