MIDI connectors and the TO HOST connector

The AW4416 provides the following connectors used to convey MIDI messages.

MIDI

MTC OUT OUT/ THRU IN

❍MIDI IN connector

MIDI messages such as program change, MMC, and MTC are received at this connector.

❍MIDI OUT/THRU connector

By changing the setting of an internal parameter, this connector can function either as a MIDI OUT connector or a MIDI THRU connector. When used as a MIDI OUT connector, it will transmit MIDI messages such as program change, MMC, and MIDI Clock. When used as a MIDI THRU connector, it will re-transmit the messages received at the MIDI IN connector without change.

❍MTC OUT connector

This is a dedicated output connector for MTC.

TO HOST

❍TO HOST connector

A separately sold cable can be used to connect this to the serial port of your com- puter, allowing MIDI messages to be exchanged directly between the AW4416 and your computer. In order to use this connector, you will need to set the MIDI port setting to “TO HOST PC1,” “TO HOST PC 2,” or “TO HOST MAC,” depend- ing on the computer you are using (→ P.233).

•The TO HOST connector cannot be used simultaneously with the MIDI IN connector and MIDI OUT/THRU connector.

•MTC cannot be transmitted via the TO HOST connector. If you need to trans- mit MTC to your computer, use the MTC OUT connector.

•Regardless of the port setting, the OUT/THRU connector will function as THRU if MIDI THRU is selected.
