Transmitting the AW16G’s settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump)
In the BULK page of the UTILITY screen, you can trans-
mit various internal settings of the AW16G (scene memo-
ries, libraries, settings of the UTILITY screen, etc.) as bulk
data from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. If you record
this bulk data on a MIDI sequencer or similar device,
you will then be able to restore these settings whenever
desired.
To access this page, repeatedly press the [UTILITY] key
or hold down the [UTILITY] key and use the CURSOR
[ ]/[ ] keys.
This page contains the following items.

1SCENE button

Selects scene memories for bulk dumping. Use the
scene number field located at the right of the button
to specify the scene(s) that will actually be transmit-
ted.

BScene number field

Here you can select the scene number(s) that will
be transmitted. You can select from the following
choices.
CURRENT.................. The current mixing settings (the
current scene)

JREQUEST button

When you move the cursor to this button and press
the [ENTER] key, a bulk dump request message will
be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU connec-
tor.
A bulk dump request message is a MIDI message
that requests an AW16G to transmit the settings you
selected in items 1–7.
When two AW16G units are connected, you can
use this to copy data such as scene memories or
libraries from the other AW16G.

Tip!
•The time required for bulk data to be transmitted will
depend on the type of data.
•An error may occur on the receiving device while bulk
data is being transmitted. In this case, try increasing the
INT setting. When transmitting and receiving bulk data
between two AW16G units, leave the INT value at zero.
