ECONTROL CHANGE MODE box

Selects the channels via which MIDI control change mes-

sages will be transmitted and received. The following

choices are available:

•1...........Control change messages will be transmitted

and received on MIDI channels 1–16. (MIDI

channels 1–16 will correspond to AW2400

track channels 1–16.)

•2...........Control change messages will be transmitted

and received only on the MIDI channel that is

selected in the CHANNEL ﬁeld.

•3...........This is the same as 2 in that control change

messages are only received and transmitted

via one MIDI channel, but the parameter map-

ping differs from 2.

●When CONTROL CHANGE MODE = 1

•For details on the mix parameters that correspond to each control

change message, refer to the tables that follow.
