Tip!
When the AW2816 is synchronized as an MTC slave to
an external device, and the accuracy of the received
MTC becomes unstable, the AW2816 will attempt to
follow by making fine adjustments to the playback
pitch. The SYNC AVERAGE parameter sets the range of
tolerance for this type of variance in MTC.
The SYNC AVERAGE setting is valid only when the
word clock source is set to "INT" (internal clock).
H
Tx CH (Transmit channel)
This sets the channel (1–16) on which MIDI mes-
sages are transmitted from the AW2816.
I
Rx CH (Receive channel)
This sets the channel (1–16) on which MIDI mes-
sages are received by the AW2816.
J
MMC DEVICE
When MMC (MIDI Machine Control) is used to
perform remote control between the AW2816 and
an external MIDI device, this setting specifies the
device ID (1–127) that is used to distinguish each
device. (Default setting= 1)
K
MMC MODE
Use the following three buttons to make settings
for MMC reception and transmission.
• OFF button
When this button is on, the AW2816 will not
receive or transmit MMC. Turn this button on
when you are using the AW2816 by itself.
• MASTER button
When this button is on, operating the transport of
the AW2816 will cause the corresponding MMC
command to be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/
TO HOST connector. Use this setting when you
are using the AW2816 as the MMC master to con-
trol external MIDI devices.
• SLAVE button
When this button is on, the AW2816 will obey
MMC commands received at the MIDI IN/TO
HOST connector. Use this setting when you want
to use the AW2816 as an MTC slave, so that an
external MIDI device can remotely control the
AW2816's transport and select or defeat recording
track selections.
Tip!
In order to use MMC, the device ID of the AW2816
and the external MIDI device must match. The device
ID of the AW2816 is set by the MMC DEVICE setting
( J ).
The AW2816 cannot simultaneously operate as a slave
for both MTC and MMC. For this reason if the SLAVE
button in the MTC SYNC area is turned on, the SLAVE
button in the MMC MODE area will not be available.
