Synchronizing the AW2400 With External MIDI Devices

Using MTC AW2400 song playback and recording can be synchronized to external MIDI devices such as a com- puter-based sequencer application or a workstation type synthesizer with a built-in sequencer. Furthermore, MMC can be used to allow remote control of the AW2400 trans- port functions from the external MIDI device.

1 Refer to the following diagram, and connect the AW2400 to your workstation synthe- sizer or computer.

5 Move the cursor to the DEVICE No. field, and set the value to match the device num- ber of the external MIDI device.

When using MMC, you must set the AW2400 and the external MIDI device to the same MMC device num- ber. For details on the device numbers that your MIDI device can use, refer to its owner’s manual.

6 Use the Work Navigate section [SONG] key to access the SONG screen Setting page. Select a frame rate.

•When using MTC with an external device be sure to set both the AW2400 and the external device to the same frame rate.

•The frame rate you specify here will affect not only synchroni- zation with the external device, but also the time code that is displayed in the counter, etc.

7 Set the external MIDI device to function as

MMC master and MTC slave, and set its MMC device number and MTC frame rate to the same settings as the AW2400.

For details on how to make these settings, refer to the owner’s manual provided with the device.
