Using Parameter Changes To Perform Aw4416 Operations; Transmitting Internal Aw4416 Settings Via Midi (Bulk Dump); Version 2.0 Manual Supplement - Yamaha AW4416 Manual Supplement

Using parameter changes to per-
form AW4416 operations
In version 2.0, a type of system exclusive message
called "parameter changes" can be used (instead of
control changes) to operate internal parameters of the
AW4416. Here's how to record/play back parameter
changes on your MIDI sequencer.
1
Make settings on the AW4416 and on your
MIDI sequencer so that they will operate in
synchronization using MTC.
For details on connections, refer to page 10.
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 parameter changes on
your MIDI sequencer, make sure that the MIDI Thru
function of your MIDI sequencer is turned off. If this
function is on, the parameter 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 PARAMETER CHANGE area TX
(transmit) button and RX (receive) button.
With these settings, operating a parameter on the
AW4416 itself will cause the corresponding
parameter change to be transmitted. When a
parameter change is received from an external
device, the corresponding parameter will
change.
Tip!
• The parameter change messages corresponding to
each parameter are fixed, and cannot be changed.
• For details on the parameters that can be controlled
by parameter changes, refer to page 47.
4
Put your MIDI sequencer in record mode,
and play back the AW4416 song.

5
Operate the desired parameters on the
AW4416.
As the parameter is changed, the corresponding
parameter change will be transmitted, and
recorded on the MIDI sequencer.
6
When you are finished recording, press the
[STOP] key.
7
Put your MIDI sequencer in playback-ready
mode.
8
On the AW4416, locate to a point earlier
than where you begin recording parameter
operations, and play back the song.
The MIDI sequencer will begin playback in syn-
chronization with the AW4416. When parameter
changes from the MIDI sequencer are received
by the AW4416, the corresponding parameter
will change.
Transmitting internal AW4416
settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump)
In version 2.0, settings of the MIDI screen and the
contents of the various libraries can be converted into
MIDI data (bulk data) and transmitted to an external
device such as a MIDI sequencer.
1
Connect the AW4416's MIDI OUT/THRU
connector to the MIDI IN connector of the
external MIDI device, and the AW4416's
MIDI IN connector to the MIDI OUT con-
nector of the external MIDI device.
2
Press the [MIDI] key
key.
The MIDI screen Bulk Dump page will appear.
The various areas of the screen have the follow-
ing functions.
