Using MIDI clock to synchronize the AW2816
The AW2816 and an external device can also be syn-
chronized by using MIDI Clock as the synchroniza-
tion data instead of MTC. Use this method if a MIDI
sequencer or rhythm machine that does not support
MTC needs to be synchronized with the AW2816, or
when you want to specify the locate position in units
of measures and beats.
Tip!
• MIDI Clock is timing data that divides each beat
into 24 parts.
• In order to synchronize the operation using MIDI
Clock, you must first use the AW2816's Tempo Map
page to make tempo settings and time signature set-
tings.
