Using Control Changes To Operate Aw4416 Parameters - Yamaha AW4416 Manual Supplement

Using control changes to operate
AW4416 parameters
In version 2.0, AW4416 parameters can be assigned
to control changes, so that AW4416 operations can be
recorded/played back on a MIDI sequencer or other
external MIDI device.
Assigning a parameter to a con-
trol change
1
Press the [MIDI] key
key.
The MIDI screen CTL Asgn. page added in ver-
sion 2.0 will appear. In this page you can assign
AW4416 internal parameters to control change
numbers. Each part of the screen has the follow-
ing function.

Parameter 1
Parameter 2
A
CTL CHG. (Control change number)
Move the cursor to this area and use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to select a control change number
from the range of 0–95 and 102–119.
B
PARAMETER
This area shows the parameter that is assigned to
each control change. In the left column (parame-
ter 1), select the type of parameter that you want
to control. In the center and right columns
(parameters 2/3), specify the values required for
that parameter. Control change numbers to
which no parameter has been assigned will be
displayed as "NO ASSIGN."
C
INITIALIZE
This button resets the control change assignments
to the default state.
Tip!
For details on the parameters assigned to each control
change number when the AW4416 is in the default
state, refer to page 30.

Move the cursor to the CTL CHG. numeri-
cal box, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to
select the control change number that you
want to assign.

Move the cursor to the various fields in the
PARAMETER area, and use the [DATA/JOG]
dial to set the parameter and its values.
For the available parameters and values, refer to
page 28.
Tip!
Of the parameters that can be assigned, channel
fader, AUX send, [ON] key, EQ, and pan operations
can be recorded in automix. By using automix to
record these operations, and using your MIDI
sequencer to record operations of the remaining
parameters, you can minimize the amount of MIDI
messages that are transmitted and received between
the AW4416 and your MIDI sequencer.
Control change numbers 0 and 32 are defined as
"Bank Select" (messages used to switch the voice
banks of a synthesizer, etc.). On some MIDI sequenc-
ers, bank select messages are handled differently than
other control changes, and therefore may not be suit-
able for use in parameter operations.
