About the MIDI Remote function

The AW2400 provides a MIDI Remote function that lets you use the top-panel controls to transmit the desired MIDI messages.

By using the MIDI Remote function, you can use the AW2400 as a physical controller for a computer program or MIDI tone generator.

MIDI messages can be assigned to the following controls.

Mixer section

Faders 1–12, 13–16

[ON] keys 1–12, 13–16

Transport section

• RTZ [

] key

• REW [ ] key

• FF [

] key

• STOP [ ] key

• PLAY [

] key

• REC [ ] key

Of these, MIDI messages assigned to the faders and [ON] keys can be freely reassigned. You can assign the follow- ing types of message.

Alternatively, you can specify that a MIDI message with a fixed value is transmitted only when you press the [ON] key to turn it on (indicator lit). For example if you assign program change #1, that program change number will be transmitted each time you turn on the [ON] key.

Messages that can

be assigned to faders

A MIDI message whose value changes over a range of 0–127 can be assigned to each fader. For example if you assign control change #7 (volume) to a fader, you can use the fader to control the vol- ume of a MIDI tone generator.

Using the MIDI Remote function presets

The REMOTE screen 1–12 page and 13–16 page provide 14 different MIDI Remote presets (ten factory presets and four user presets). These presets have been created with specific devices and computer sequencer programs in mind, and assign the necessary messages to the AW2400’s faders and [ON] keys. You can use the MIDI Remote func- tion immediately, just by selecting a preset in this page and connecting the appropriate external MIDI device.

Sequencer programs that are supported

Messages that can be

assigned to the [ON] keys

 

A MIDI message whose value changes between the two

20

states, 0 and 127, can be assigned to each [ON] key. For

example if you assign control change #64 (hold) to an

 

[ON] key and specify that the control change value alter-

MIDI

nates between 0 and 127, pressing the [ON] key to turn it

on (indicator lit) will transmit control change #64 with a

 

value of 127 (Hold on), and turning it off (indicator out)

 

will transmit control change #64 with a value of 0 (Hold

 

off).
