Using Physical Midi Ports To Connect Your Daw; Other Connections - Solid State Logic AWS DELTA 916 Owner's Manual

DAW Connection

SING HYSICAL
Optionally the AWS can use a standard MIDI connection between the AWS console and your DAW using a multi port
MIDI interface. In this mode only one DAW layer can be configured. To select this mode navigate to the SSL > Misc >
Setup menu and set MIDI communicates via: MIDI Ports.
The console communicates with the DAW via the MIDI ports located on the rear of the console:
MIDI ports should be connected to your DAW MIDI interface unit – three available ports are required (one port includes
an IN and OUT socket). To connect a port, the output of the MIDI interface unit port 1 should connect to the MIDI 1
input port of the AWS and the MIDI output of the AWS port 1 should connect to the input of your MIDI interface unit
port 1. Repeat for the other ports using the diagram above as a guide. Port 4 is used both for archiving Total Recall and
Automation data and to receive MIDI Timecode (MTC).
Follow the instructions on configuring your workstation but use the physical MIDI ports rather than the virtual MIDI ports
when selecting MIDI ports.
Ports 5 and 6 are currently not implemented and are reserved for future expansion.
The recommended maximum length of MIDI cables is 15 meters.
