MIDI

This section will describe the basic MIDI settings as well as the various MIDI features and capabilities provided.

What you can do using MIDI

On the AW2400, you can use MIDI to do the following things.

●Synchronize operation with an external device

You can synchronize an AW2400 song with playback of an external device (such as a MIDI sequencer) by exchanging synchronization messages such as MTC (MIDI Time Code) or MIDI Clock with the external device.

●Remote control of AW2400 transport func- tions

You can transmit MMC (MIDI Machine Control) mes- sages from a MIDI sequencer or other external MIDI device to the AW2400 to remotely control the AW2400’s transport functions. Conversely, you can also transmit MMC from the AW2400 to an external device for remote transport control.

•Example: using MTC/MMC to synchronize the oper- ation of the AW2400 and a MIDI sequencer (com- puter).

●MIDI Remote

“MIDI Remote” is a function that lets you use the AW2400 as a physical controller for an external device. You can assign the desired MIDI messages to the top- panel faders and [ON] keys, and use them to remotely control a MIDI device or computer program.

•Example: using the AW2400 as a physical control- ler for a MIDI sound module

mix parameters, the corresponding messages (program change or control change) can be transmitted to an exter- nal device.

If you record these messages on a MIDI sequencer that is synchronized to the AW2400, the scene recall operations or mix parameter operations can be precisely reproduced at any time.
