Editing Various Settings For The Song - Yamaha AW 1600 Owner's Manual

Editing various settings for the song

Here's how to make various settings for a song, such as switching protect on/off and selecting
the counter display format and time code format.
NOTE
• These settings apply only to the current song. Before you perform this proce-
dure, load the song whose settings you want to edit.
• The counter display mode (with the exception of REMAIN) and timecode frame
rate changes will be saved with the song data when the song is saved.

In the Work Navigate section, press the
[SONG] key.
The SONG screen will appear.

Repeatedly press the [SONG] key or hold
down the [SONG] key and use the CURSOR
[ ]/[ ] keys to access the SETUP page.

the cursor to the PROTECT button and
press the [ENTER] key.
Protect is a setting that prohibits any change to the
song data. If protect is turned on, the PROTECT but-
ton will be highlighted, and it will not be possible to
perform additional recording or editing, or to erase the
song.
HINT
• We recommend that you turn protect on for important songs.
• Even if protect is on, you can still copy the song ( → p. 147)
and adjust the mixer settings.

In the COUNTER DISPLAY area, use the following
buttons to select the display format for the counter that
is shown in the center of the top line in the display.
• ABS (absolute time)
............ Display the current location in hours/
minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the
absolute time zero location as 0.
• REL (relative time)
............ Display the current location in hours/
minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the
relative time zero location as 0.
• SEC .......... Display the current location in hours/
minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the
Start point as 0.
• T.C ............ Display the current location in time code
(hours/minutes/seconds/frames), with
the Start point as 0.
• REMAIN ... When this button is on, the remaining
recordable time with the selected num-
ber of recording tracks will be displayed
instead of the current location.
NOTE
• The counter in the upper right of the display always shows the
current location in measure/beat units, relative to the Start
point.
• The measure/beat display will depend on the settings in the
TEMPO page of the SONG screen. For details, refer to "Cre-
ating a tempo map" ( → p. 149).
5
To change the time code frame rate, move
the cursor to one of the buttons in the TIME
CODE BASE area, and press the [ENTER]
key.
In the TIME CODE BASE area you can choose one of
the following frame rates to specify the minimum unit
of time code.
• 24 ............ 24 frames/second
• 25 ............ 25 frames/second
• 30 ............ 30 frames/second (30 non-drop frame)
• 30D........... 29.97 frames/second (30 drop-frame)
HINT
• This setting affects both the counter time code display and the
MTC that the AW1600 transmits and receives. If the AW1600
is sending or receiving MTC to or from an external device, you
must set both devices to the same frame rate.
NOTE
• With the exception of COUNTER DISPLAY, the settings in the
SETUP page of the SONG screen cannot be changed while
the AW1600 is running.
