NOTE

•It may be necessary to install an appropriate USB MIDI driver in order to use the USB connector for MIDI communication on com- puters (→ p. 266).

•To connect to a computer using the MY16-mLAN digital I/O card, install the MY16-mLAN card in the digital I/O slot and select “SLOT”. The appropriate mLAN driver must be installed on the computer.

BCHANNEL field

•TX .......... Selects the transmit MIDI channel, in a range of 1–16.

•RX .......... Selects the receive MIDI channel, in a range of 1–16.

CPROGRAM CHANGE field

Turns program change transmission and reception on or off. When program change reception is on, the corre- sponding scene will be recalled when a program change message is received via the AW2400 MIDI IN connector (or USB connector or digital I/O card input port). When program change transmission is on, when a scene is recalled on the AW2400 the corresponding program change message is transmitted via the MIDI OUT/THRU connector (or USB connector or digital I/O card output port).

The following items are available:

•ON/OFF button (TX)......Turns program change trans- mission on or off.

•ECHO button (TX) .........Received program change messages are re-transmitted (“echoed”) via the MIDI OUT/ THRU connector (or USB con- nector or digital I/O card out- put port).

•ON/OFF button (RX) .....Turns program change recep- tion on or off.

•OMNI button (RX)..........Program change messages can be received on all MIDI channels, regardless of the MIDI receive channel setting.

HINT

•In the SCENE screen PGM Assign page you can specify the scene number that will correspond to each program change num- ber (→ p. 201).

DCONTROL CHANGE field

Specifies how MIDI control change messages will be transmitted and received. If control change transmission and reception are enabled, the corresponding control change message will be transmitted when you operate any of the AW2400’s channel mix parameters (fader, pan, effect send, etc.). When a control change message is received, the corresponding AW2400 mix parameter will change.

The following items are available:

•ON/OFF button (TX)......Turns control change trans- mission on or off.

•ECHO button (TX) .........Received control change messages are re-transmitted (“echoed”) via the MIDI OUT/ THRU connector (or USB con- nector or digital I/O card out- put port).

•ON/OFF button (RX) .....Turns control change recep- tion on or off.

•OMNI button (RX)..........Control change messages can be received on all MIDI channels, regardless of the MIDI receive channel setting.
