Remotely controlling a tone generator module

Here's how you can use the AW16G's MIDI Remote
function to remotely control a tone generator module.
1
Connect the AW16G to your tone generator
module as shown in the following diagram.

2
Use the Work Navigate section [REMOTE] key
to access the PRESET page of the REMOTE
screen.
The Remote function will be enabled.
Tip! Tip!
• While the REMOTE screen is displayed, the functions of
the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will be disabled; the
faders and keys will function as controllers that trans-
mit MIDI messages.
• The MIDI Remote function is enabled whenever the
REMOTE screen is displayed. However, MIDI messages
will not be output if the MIDI button is turned off in the
MIDI page ( → p. 150).
3
Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the preset
that you want to use.
For example if you select preset 06 (XG 1-16), the
AW16G's faders will control the volume of parts 1–
16 of your XG tone generator, and [TRACK SEL]
keys 1–16 will control the on/off status of parts 1–
16.
4
If necessary, use the buttons in the CH area
to select the MIDI channels to which the fad-
ers and [TRACK SEL] keys will correspond.
The buttons in the CH area select the combination
of MIDI channels that are assigned to the faders and
[TRACK SEL] keys. For the combination of MIDI
channels used when each button is on, refer to
"MIDI and utility functions" (→ p. 149).
5
Operate the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys of
the AW16G.
The messages assigned to the faders and [TRACK
SEL] keys will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/
THRU connector, and the parameters of your tone
generator module will change accordingly.
Tip! Tip!
It is also possible to assign your own MIDI messages to
the AW16G's faders and [TRACK SEL] keys. For details,
refer to "MIDI and utility functions" ( → p. 149).
