C
PARAMETER CHANGE
Use the following buttons to make transmission/
reception settings for the system exclusive mes-
sages (parameter changes) that control the
AW2816's parameters.
• TX (transmission) ... Turns parameter change
transmission on/off. When
this button is on, operating a
AW2816 parameter will
cause the parameter change
message assigned to that
parameter to be transmitted.
• RX (reception) ..... Turns parameter change
reception on/off. When this
button is on, receiving a
parameter change message
will cause the corresponding
parameter of the AW2816 to
change.
• ECHO.................. When this button is on, the
identical message will be re-
transmitted from the MIDI
OUT/TO HOST connectors
when a parameter change
message is received.
D
BULK
This button turns bulk data reception on/off, as
well as reception of messages that requires a bulk
dump (Bulk Dump Request).
Tip!
Bulk Dump data consists of system exclusive messages
containing various internal memory settings of the
AW2816 (scene memory, library, and automix data), as
well as MIDI settings. By recording bulk data on an
external device such as a MIDI sequencer, you can
backup the internal settings of the AW2816. Bulk data
transmission is performed in the MIDI screen Bulk
Dump page.
E
MTC SYNC
When using MTC (MIDI Time Code) to synchro-
nize the AW2816 and an external MIDI device,
this setting selects whether the AW2816 will func-
tion as the MTC master or as an MTC slave.
• MASTER button
When this button is on, the AW2816 will be the
MTC master, and MTC will be transmitted from the
MTC OUT connector when the transport of the
AW2816 is operated. Use this setting when you
want an external MIDI device to follow the
AW2816, or when using the AW2816 by itself.
• SLAVE button
When this button is on, the AW2816 will be an
MTC slave. When MTC is received from the MIDI
IN/TO HOST connector when the AW2816 is in
playback-ready mode, the AW2816 will run in
accordance with the MTC messages. Use this set-
ting when you want two AW2816 units to operate
in synchronization, or when you want the
AW2816 to synchronize with a device that can
only function as the MTC master.
Tip!
The MTC generated within the AW2816 can also be
transmitted from the MIDI OUT/TO HOST connector
as well as from the MTC OUT connector. This setting is
made in the MIDI screen/MIDI Setup2 page.
F
SYNC OFFSET
When the AW2816 is used as an MTC slave,
you can shift the absolute time of the AW2816
relative to the MTC that is received. The range is
"–24:00:00:00.00"–"+24:00:00:00.00".

Tip!
The Sync Offset setting does not affect the MTC that is
transmitted from the AW2816's MTC OUT connector.
If you want the MTC that is transmitted from the MTC
OUT connector to be shifted relative to the AW2816's
absolute time, you must change the Time Code Top
( P.239).
G
SYNC AVERAGE
When the AW2816 is used as an MTC slave, this
setting specifies the range of tolerance for irregu-
larities in MTC timing. Select one of the following
three settings.
• OFF button
When this button is on, the range of tolerance will
be narrowest, and the AW2816 will synchronize
to the incoming MTC with the highest precision.
However if there is significant instability in the
received MTC, synchronization may be lost or
may become unstable. This setting is appropriate
when you are synchronizing two AW2816 units.
• 1 button/2 button
Turning the 1 button on will increase the range of
tolerance, and turning the 2 button on will specify
the maximum tolerance. These settings are appro-
priate when an external device with greater MTC
instability (such as a tape recorder or computer-
based sequencer) is being used as the MTC master.
