Recording/playing back parame-
ter operations on a MIDI
sequencer
Here's how you can use control changes to record/
play back AW4416 parameter operations on a MIDI
sequencer.
1
Connect the AW4416 and your MIDI
sequencer as shown in the following dia-
gram, and make settings so that both
devices will operate in synchronization.
MTC
MTC master
MTC OUT
PROFESSIONAL AUDIO WORKSTATION
connector
MIDI OUT/THRU
connector
AW4416
MIDI IN
connector
Tip!
Make sure that "MIDI" is selected as the transmis-
sion/reception port for MIDI messages, and that
"OUT" is selected as the function of the MIDI THRU/
OUT connector.
When recording/playing back control changes on
your MIDI sequencer, make sure that the MIDI Thru
function (sometimes called "Patch Thru" or "MIDI
Echo") of your MIDI sequencer is turned off. If this
function is on, the control changes transmitted from
the AW4416 will be immediately sent back to the
AW4416, causing malfunctions.
2
Press the [MIDI] key
key.
The MIDI Setup 1 page will appear.
3
Use the cursor keys and the [ENTER] key to
turn on the CONTROL CHANGE area TX
(transmit) button and RX (receive) button.

With these settings, operating a parameter on the
AW4416 itself will cause the control change
assigned in the CTL Asgn. page to be transmitted.
When a control change is received from an
external device, the corresponding parameter
will change.
4
Move the cursor to the numerical boxes in
the MIDI CH. area, and use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to specify the transmit MIDI
channel and receive MIDI channel.
Tip!
• Normally you will set the transmit MIDI channel
and receive MIDI channel to the same setting.
• If the CONTROL CHANGE area OMNI button is
turned ON, control changes of all MIDI channels
will be received, regardless of the receive MIDI
channel setting.
5
Put your MIDI sequencer in record mode,
and play back the AW4416 song.
When recording parameter operations on your
sequencer, you should turn automix off (DISABLE). If
automix is on (ENABLE), the control changes corre-
sponding to parameters recorded in the automix will
also be transmitted simultaneously.
6
Operate the parameters to which control
changes are assigned.
As the parameter is changed, the corresponding
control change will be transmitted, and recorded
on the MIDI sequencer.
7
When you are finished recording, press the
[STOP] key.
8
Put your MIDI sequencer in playback-ready
mode.
9
Locate to a point earlier than where you
begin recording parameter operations, and
play back the song.
When control changes from the MIDI sequencer
are received by the AW4416 while it is running,
the corresponding parameter will change.
