external MIDI clock, and put it in playback-ready mode.
13. Record/play back the AW4416 song.
When you specify a location on the AW4416 in measure/beat units, the external
MIDI sequencer will also move to the same location. When the AW4416 begins
running, the MIDI sequencer will begin running in synchronization according to
the MIDI clock that is being transmitted.
Tip!
The internal metronome of the AW4416 will sound according to the tempo data
and time signature data you specify here.
