Put your MIDI sequencer in record-ready
mode, and play back the song on the
AW2816.
The two devices will run in synchronization.
When recording parameter operations on a MIDI
sequencer, you must turn automix off (DISABLE). If
the automix function is on (ENABLE), control changes
will also be transmitted for the parameters operated
by automix.
6
Access the screen containing the parame-
ter that you assigned to a control change,
and operate that parameter.
Control change messages corresponding to the
parameter movements will be transmitted from
the MIDI OUT/THRU connector or TO HOST
connector, and will be recorded on your MIDI
sequencer.

When you have finished operating the
parameter, press the STOP [
the song.
The MIDI sequencer will also stop.
8
Put the MIDI sequencer in playback-ready
mode.
9
On the AW2816, locate to a location earlier
than where you recorded the parameter
operation, and play back the song.
The MIDI sequencer will play back in synchroni-
zation with the AW2816. When the AW2816
receives control change messages from the MIDI
sequencer, the corresponding parameters will
change.
204
Using system exclusive to oper-
ate parameters
On the AW2816 you can use a type of system exclu-
sive messages called "parameter changes" to operate
internal parameters, instead of using control changes.
Here's how to record/playback parameter changes on
your MIDI sequencer.
Tip!
For details on the parameters that can be operated by
parameter change messages, refer to "MIDI data for-
mat" at the end of this manual.
1
Connect the AW2816 and your MIDI
sequencer as shown the diagram on
page 203, and make settings so that the
AW2816 and MIDI sequencer will operate
in synchronization using MTC.
For details on MTC synchronization, refer to
page 192.
Before you record and play back parameter change
messages on a MIDI sequencer, make sure that the
MIDI Thru function (sometimes called "Patch Thru"
or "MIDI Echo") of the sequencer is turned off. If this
function is on, the parameter changes transmitted
from the AW2816 will be immediately returned to the
AW2816, causing malfunctions.
