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.
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.
A MIDI message whose value changes between the two
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-
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).
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.
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
*1 Use the setting file from the included CD-ROM to map the
AW2400’s faders/[ON] keys/transport keys to the Logic key com-
mands. Track assignments must be made within Logic as appro-
priate for your system.
*2 Select the CS-10 settings as the MIDI controller type. For details
on the CS-10 settings, ask Digidesign.
