Basic operation on the AW1600

Introducing the AW1600

You can use the knobs and keys of the Selected Channel

section to directly operate the mix parameters (EQ,

dynamics, pan, etc.) of the currently selected channel.

1Use the [TRACK SEL] keys, [INPUT SEL]

keys, [STEREO SEL] keys, or pads 1–4 to

select the channel that you want to operate.

When using the

Selected Channel

section, you must

ﬁrst select the chan-

nel that you want to

operate. The currently selected channel is indicated in

the upper left of the screen.

The channels correspond to each key or pad as fol-

lows.

desired parameter, and use the [DATA/JOG]

dial or the [ENTER] key to operate the

Using the Selected Channel section

Turn the [EQ] knob

This changes the amount of boost/cut for the selected EQ

band. To select the EQ band, use the [HIGH], [HI-MID],

[LO-MID], and [LOW] keys located at the right.

Turn the [DYN] knob

This changes the depth of

dynamics processing.

Turn the [EFFECT 1] knob

This adjusts the level of the

signal that is sent from that

channel to internal effect 1.

(If the stereo output channel

is selected, this adjusts the

return level from internal

effect 1.)

Turn the [EFFECT 2] knob

This adjusts the level of the

signal that is sent from that

channel to internal effect 2.

(If the stereo output channel

is selected, this adjusts the

return level from internal

effect 2.)

Turn the [PAN/BAL] knob

This adjusts the pan of the signal that is sent from that channel

to the stereo bus. (If the stereo output channel is selected, this

adjusts the balance of the left and right channels.)

•Simply turning the knobs of the Selected Channel section will

not cause the screen to change.

•If you turn the [DYN] knob immediately after recalling a preset

library that includes dynamics settings, multiple dynamics

parameters will change simultaneously, affecting the way in

which dynamics processing is applied. The depth of this

change will depend on the library that is recalled.

knob will adjust multiple parameters simultaneously, you must

you recalled prior to editing in the DYN screen.
