Play back the external MIDI device.
When you play back the external MIDI device, the
corresponding MMC commands will be sent to the
AW2400, and the AW2400 will begin running.
At the same time, the AW2400 will transmit MTC to
the external MIDI device, and the external MIDI
device will run in synchronization with it.
Here’s how you can transmit program changes from an
external MIDI device to switch scenes on the AW2400.
1
In the Scene/Automix/USB section, use the
[SCENE] key to access the SONG screen
PGM Assign page.
This page lets you assign a scene number to each pro-
gram change number.
1 List
This lists the scenes of the current song. The line
enclosed by a dotted frame is the scene currently
selected for operation.
B Program change number
This indicates the program change number (001–128).
Move the cursor to this number and use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to scroll the list upward or downward.
C Scene
Move the cursor to this area and use the [DATA/JOG]
dial to select the scene that you want to assign to the
corresponding program number.
D INITIALIZE button
Returns the program change assignments to their ini-
tial state.
2
Move the cursor to the program change
number, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to
select the program change number for
which you want to change the assignment.
3
Move the cursor to the scene in the list, and
use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the scene
that you want to assign to the correspond-
ing program change number.
4
Repeat steps 2–3 to assign the desired
scenes to other program change numbers.
• You can synchronize using MIDI Clock and Start/Stop/Con-
tinue messages instead of using MTC and MMC. For details
on the settings used in this case, refer to “Recording/playing
AW2400 mix operations on an external sequencer” (
→
p. 202).

• In the initial state Program change numbers 1–99 correspond
to scenes 1–99, program change number 100 = Initial Data
(all scene parameters in their initial state), and program
change numbers 101–128 are “NO ASSIGN” (unassigned).

• The [INC]/[DEC] keys can also be used to select program
change numbers.
