MIDI and utility functions

0.............The AW16G will synchronize to the incoming

MTC data at the highest precision. However if

the incoming MTC has signiﬁcant instability,

synchronization may be interrupted or become

unreliable.

1.............This setting allows more tolerance of MTC

instability than the “0” setting.

2.............This setting allows the maximum tolerance.

Use this setting if the MTC master is an external

MIDI device that has signiﬁcant instability.

Tip!

When the AW16G is functioning as an MTC slave and is

operating in synchronization to an external MIDI device,

and the accuracy of the incoming MTC becomes unsta-

ble, the AW16G will make slight adjustments in its play-

back pitch in an attempt to follow. The AVRG parameter

speciﬁes the range of MTC variance that will be toler-

ated.

FOFST (Offset)

When using the AW16G as an MTC slave, this

parameter shifts the absolute time within the

AW16G forward or backward relative to the incom-

ing MTC. The range is -24:00:00:00.00 to

+24:00:00:00.00.

Tip!

The OFST setting has no effect on the MTC that is trans-

mitted from the AW16G’s MIDI OUT/THRU connector.

GMIDI CH

Selects the MIDI channel that will be used to trans-

mit and receive MIDI messages such as program

changes and control changes. This area contains the

following two items.

TX........... Selects the transmit MIDI channel, in a range of

1–16. While MIDI messages are being

transmitted, the characters “TX” will be

highlighted.

RX........... Selects the receive MIDI channel, in a range of

1–16 or ALL. If you select ALL, MIDI messages

of all MIDI channels will be received (Omni

mode). While MIDI messages are being

received, the characters “RX” will be high-

lighted.

HPGM CHG MODE

Switches program change transmission and recep-

tion on/off.

If program change reception is on, the AW16G will

recall the corresponding scene when it receives a

program change at the MIDI IN connector. If pro-

gram change transmission is on, the AW16G will

transmit the corresponding program change from

the MIDI OUT/THRU connector when a scene is

recalled on the AW16G.

You can select the following choices.

OFF.........Program changes will not be transmitted or

received.

TX............Program changes will only be transmitted.

RX........... Program change will only be received.

TX-RX......Program changes will be transmitted and

received.

Tip!

In the SCENE screen PC TABLE page you can specify the

scene number that will correspond to each program

change number (

→

p. 165).

Note

In order to actually transmit program changes, the MIDI

button of the MIDI OUT area must be turned on.

ICTRL CHG MODE

Speciﬁes how control changes will be transmitted

and received.

If control change transmission and reception are

enabled, the corresponding control change will be

transmitted when you operate a mix parameter

(fader, pan, effect send, etc.) for track channel 1–16

on the AW16G.

When a control change is received, the correspond-

ing mix parameter will change.

You can select one of the following choices.

OFF.........Control changes will not be transmitted or

received.

1..............Control changes will be transmitted and

received on MIDI channels 1–16. (MIDI chan-

nels 1–16 will correspond to AW16G track

channels 1–16.)

2..............Control changes will be transmitted and

received only on the MIDI channel that is

selected in the MIDI CH ﬁeld. (This mapping is

compatible with the AW4416/AW2816.)

3..............This is the same as 2 in that control changes of

only one MIDI channel are received and trans-

mitted, but the parameter mapping differs from

2. (A single MIDI channel will correspond to

AW16G track channels 1–16.)

Tip!

•For details on the mix parameters that correspond to

each control change, refer to the tables that follow.

•When you operate a mix parameter of track channel 9/

10–15/16 on the AW16G, two types of control changes

will be transmitted.

Note

In order to actually transmit control changes, the MIDI

button of the MIDI OUT area must be turned on.
