MIDI connectors and the TO HOST connector
The AW2816 provides the following connectors for
exchanging MIDI messages with external devices.
MIDI IN connector
This connector receives MIDI messages such as pro-
gram changes, control changes, and system exclu-
sive data.
MIDI OUT/THRU connector
By switching an internal setting, you can make this
connector function either as a MIDI OUT connector
or a MIDI THRU connector. When used as a MIDI
OUT connector, this transmits MIDI messages that
were produced inside the AW2816, such as pro-
gram changes, control changes, and MIDI clock.
When used as a MIDI THRU connector, this re-
transmits the MIDI messages that were received at
the MIDI IN connector. (In this case, none of the
MIDI messages produced inside the AW2816 will
be output.)
MTC OUT connector
This is a dedicated output connector for MTC (MIDI
Time Code). MTC will always be transmitted from
this connector, regardless of the internal settings.
TO HOST connector
A separately sold cable can be used to connect this
connector to the serial port of your computer,
allowing MIDI messages to be transferred between
the AW2816 and your computer. Bi-directional data
transfer can be performed over a single cable con-
nected to the TO HOST connector.
The TO HOST connector cannot be used at the same
time as the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT/THRU connec-
tors.
