2 Use the Work Navigate section [MIDI] key to access the MIDI screen Setting 1 page.

3 Set the connector/port and channel to be used for program change message recep- tion in the RX PORT and CHANNEL fields.

4 Turn the PROGRAM CHANGE (RX) field ON/ OFF button on.

If you want to receive program change messages on all channels regardless of the MIDI receive channel set- ting, also turn the OMNI (RX) button on.

This sets up the AW2400 to receive MIDI program change messages.

5 Transmit a program change message from your sequencer to the AW2400 on the MIDI channel that you selected.

The scene assigned to that program change number will be recalled.

HINT

•If you insert program changes into the appropriate locations of your sequencer track, scenes will be recalled automatically as the AW2400 and your sequencer run in synchronization.

Recording/playing AW2400 mix oper- ations on an external sequencer

Here’s how you can synchronize the AW2400 and your external sequencer, and use the sequencer to record/play the fader and pan operations you perform on the AW2400. Since operating the AW2400’s mix parameters will cause a large number of control change messages to be transmit- ted, we will use MIDI Clock (which uses less data) as the synchronization signal rather than MTC.

1 Connect the AW2400 and your sequencer as shown in the following diagram.
