MIDI
This section will describe the basic MIDI settings as well as the various MIDI
features and capabilities provided.
On the AW2400, you can use MIDI to do the following things.
● Synchronize operation with an external
device
You can synchronize an AW2400 song with playback of
an external device (such as a MIDI sequencer) by
exchanging synchronization messages such as MTC
(MIDI Time Code) or MIDI Clock with the external
device.
● Remote control of AW2400 transport func-
tions
You can transmit MMC (MIDI Machine Control) mes-
sages from a MIDI sequencer or other external MIDI
device to the AW2400 to remotely control the AW2400’s
transport functions. Conversely, you can also transmit
MMC from the AW2400 to an external device for remote
transport control.
• Example: using MTC/MMC to synchronize the oper-
ation of the AW2400 and a MIDI sequencer (com-
puter).
● Automate scene changes and mix parame-
ters
When you recall a scene on the AW2400 or operate its
mix parameters, the corresponding messages (program
change or control change) can be transmitted to an exter-
nal device.
If you record these messages on a MIDI sequencer that is
synchronized to the AW2400, the scene recall operations
or mix parameter operations can be precisely reproduced
at any time.
• Example: recording/playing scene selections and
mix parameter operations on a MIDI sequencer
(computer)
● MIDI Remote
“MIDI Remote” is a function that lets you use the
AW2400 as a physical controller for an external device.
You can assign the desired MIDI messages to the top-
panel faders and [ON] keys, and use them to remotely
control a MIDI device or computer program.
• Example: using the AW2400 as a physical control-
ler for a MIDI sound module
