Assigning a MIDI message to an
[ON] key
You can assign a desired MIDI message to an [ON]
key so that the message will be transmitted when you
press the key.
As an example, we will explain how you can use a
sustain pedal connected to your synthesizer to assign
a Hold-on message (control change #64 with a value
of 127) and Hold-off message (control change #64
with a value of 0) to [ON] key 1 of the Remote A 1-8
page.
1
Connect a sustain pedal to your synthe-
sizer, the MIDI OUT/THRU connector of
the AW4416 to the MIDI IN connector of
your synthesizer, and the MIDI IN connec-
tor of the AW4416 to the MIDI OUT con-
nector of your synthesizer.
• In the MIDI Setup 1 page, make sure that the ECHO
button in the CONTROL CHANGE area is turned
off. If the ECHO button is turned on, control
changes received from the external device will be
re-transmitted back to the external device, causing
malfunctions.
• In the MIDI Setup 2 page, make sure that the MIDI
OUT/THRU switch is set to OUT.
• The TX, RX, and OMNI buttons in the CONTROL
CHANGE area of the MIDI Setup 1 page will not
affect MIDI Remote operations.
