Yamaha AW2400 Assign scenes to program changes, Play back the external Midi device, Scene, 201

Connecting to External Equipment

8 Play back the external MIDI device.

When you play back the external MIDI device, the corresponding MMC commands will be sent to the AW2400, and the AW2400 will begin running.

At the same time, the AW2400 will transmit MTC to the external MIDI device, and the external MIDI device will run in synchronization with it.

HINT

•You can synchronize using MIDI Clock and Start/Stop/Con- tinue messages instead of using MTC and MMC. For details on the settings used in this case, refer to “Recording/playing AW2400 mix operations on an external sequencer” (→

p. 202).

Switching AW2400 scenes from an external MIDI device

Here’s how you can transmit program changes from an external MIDI device to switch scenes on the AW2400.

■Assign scenes to program changes

1 In the Scene/Automix/USB section, use the [SCENE] key to access the SONG screen PGM Assign page.

This page lets you assign a scene number to each pro- gram change number.

CScene

Move the cursor to this area and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the scene that you want to assign to the corresponding program number.

DINITIALIZE button

HINT

•In the initial state Program change numbers 1–99 correspond to scenes 1–99, program change number 100 = Initial Data (all scene parameters in their initial state), and program change numbers 101–128 are “NO ASSIGN” (unassigned).

2 Move the cursor to the program change number, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the program change number for which you want to change the assignment.

HINT

•The [INC]/[DEC] keys can also be used to select program change numbers.

3 Move the cursor to the scene in the list, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the scene that you want to assign to the correspond- ing program change number.

4 Repeat steps 2–3 to assign the desired scenes to other program change numbers.

•If you want to reset the scene assignments to the initial set- ting, move the cursor to the INITIALIZE button and press the [ENTER] key.
