■Editing results are not heard in the sound

•Have you selected the virtual track that you recorded?

• Are you using the appropriate editing command?

■Counter display is not 0 when you return to

the beginning of the song

• The display mode may be set to REMAIN (remaining

recording time).

• If the display mode is set to REL (relative time), the start

point may be speciﬁed.

→Go to the SONG screen SETUP, POINT page and check the

settings.

■Display indicates DISK FULL, MEMORY

FULL, or REGION FULL, and you cannot

record or edit

• There is insufﬁcient free space, or too many recording

regions. Erase unneeded tracks and then perform the Opti-

mize operation to obtain more free space.

• If the “DISK FULL” message appears, erase unneeded

songs, sample libraries, or WAV ﬁles located under the

“Transport” folder. The WAV ﬁles under the “Transport”

folder can be erased from your computer when the USB

Storage mode is engaged.

■The display indicates DISK BUSY during

playback

• The recorded data might be so fragmented that the read

speed is signiﬁcantly reduced. It might be necessary to

backup all hard disk data to your computer and then re-ini-

tialize the hard disk.

■When you press a pad there is no sound, or

the wrong bank is heard

•Have you selected a bank to which the waveform is

assigned?

•A bank change may have been speciﬁed in the SONG

screen TEMPO page.

■The sound is not what you loaded, or the

sound is different depending on whether

you are stopped or playing

• If the playback mode is set to LOOP, the sound will play

according to the monitor tempo speciﬁed in the SAMPLE

screen SETUP page while the recorder is stopped, and

will play according to the song tempo while the recorder is

playing.

■The sound you loaded only plays part of the

way

•Have you made trim settings to shorten the Start–End

region?

•If the playback mode is set to GATE, the sample will play

only while you continue pressing the pad.

• If the playback mode is set to LOOP and Slice is turned

off, the sample will play only for the length of a measure.

■The display indicates MEMORY FULL, and

you can’t import

• Access the SAMPLE screen MEMORY page, and check

the amount of used memory. Execute ERASE or

EXTRACT to increase the amount of free memory.

■WAV ﬁles to be imported are not displayed

•Have you copied WAV ﬁles with a different bit depth from

the song? 16-bit WAV ﬁles will not be displayed for a 24-

bit song, and 24-bit WAV ﬁles will not be displayed for a

16-bit song. WAV ﬁles with sampling frequency other than

44.1 kHz will also not be displayed.

■Can’t exchange MIDI data

• Are the MIDI cables or USB cables connected correctly?

•A MIDI cable or USB cable may be broken.

• Is the power turned on for the transmitting and receiving

devices?

• Do the channel settings match for the transmitted and

receiving devices?

•Have the appropriate settings been made in the UTILITY

screen MIDI 1/2 pages?

→Select the connector and port to be used (MIDI connector,

USB connector port 1/2) in the MIDI 1 page.

• Is a scene assigned to the program change number being

transmitted?

• If a USB connection is being used, is the required USB-

MIDI driver properly installed on your computer?

■MTC messages are not transmitted

•In the UTILITY screen MIDI 2 page, has the MTC button

been turned on?

• Is MTC SYNC set to MASTER?

■The AW1600 does not synchronize to

incoming MTC messages

• Is the MIDI cable connected to the MIDI IN connector?

• In the UTILITY screen MIDI 2 page, has MTC MODE

been set to SLAVE?

• Is the connector and port to be used (MIDI connector,

USB connector port 1/2) selected in the UTILITY screen

MIDI 1 page?

■MTC synchronization drifts

•Is a large amount of MIDI data (notes etc.) being received

together with the MTC messages?

• Does the frame rate match between the AW1600 and the

external device?

• In the UTILITY screen MIDI 2 page, the OFST (offset)

may have been set.

• If jumps occur in the synchronized time, change the

AVRG setting in the UTILITY screen MIDI 2 page, and

try again.
