C FS (sampling frequency)
This shows the sampling frequency of the signal that is currently selected as the clock source.
If you select an external clock as the clock source, you must check that the sampling fre­quency of the song matches the frequency of the external clock. For example if you are synchronized to a 48 kHz external clock and record on a 44.1 kHz song, be aware that the pitch will change when you return the clock source setting to “INT” and play back.
D VARI (vari-pitch)
If INT is selected as the clock source, you can select whether the sampling frequency will be xed (FIX button on) or variable (VARI button on). If FIX is selected, the control change fre­quency of the internal clock will be displayed at the right.
If “VARI” is selected, you can move the cursor to the knob at the right and rotate the [DATA/ JOG] dial to make fine adjustments to the sam­pling frequency over a range of –5.97%– +6.00%.

This selects whether the digital device con­nected to the DIGITAL STEREO IN jack will be cascaded with the stereo bus of the AW4416.
When you move the cursor to the DISABLE button and press the [ENTER] key, the button display will change to “ENABLE,” and the input signal from the DIGITAL STEREO IN jack will be sent directly to the stereo bus of the AW4416. At this time, you can use the ATT. knob to adjust the level (attenuation) of the input signal.
In order for the device connected to the DIG­ITAL STEREO IN jack to be cascade-con­nected to the stereo bus, the clock source must be set to “D.ST IN.” If another clock source is selected, a message of “CANNOT ASSIGN DIGITAL-ST-IN.” will be displayed, and it will not be possible to set the button to “ENABLE.”

Tip!
• Dithering is a process by which a small amount of noise is added to the signal in order to make the sound smoother, prevent­ing the obtrusive sound that can occur if bits are discarded when digital audio data is transmitted from a high-resolution system to a lower resolution system (for example when copying from a 24 bit system to a 16 bit sys­tem).
• For digital I/O cards, dithering is switched on/off by pairs of adjacent odd-numbered → even-numbered channels (channels 1/2, 3/4, ...).

You can also monitor channels that are not assigned to the stereo bus or to buses 1–8, or channels whose [ON] key is off.

When RECORDING SOLO is selected for 1, you can select one of the following two loca­tions from which the signal will be sent from each channel to the SOLO bus.
PRE FADER
The pre-fader signal will be sent to the SOLO bus. Since the pan setting of the channel will have no effect, the signal being monitored from the MONITOR OUT jacks/PHONES jack will be monaural.
MIXDOWN SOLO
If this button is on, the solo signal will be output via the stereo bus to the MONITOR OUT jacks/ PHONES jack. When the Solo function is turned on, only the channel(s) being soloed will be sent to the stereo bus, and the remaining chan­nels will be muted. It is not possible to monitor channels that are not assigned to the stereo bus.

Even if the data being backed up will not t on a single vol­ume of media, the backup can extend across multiple volumes of media. If this method is selected, the media will be formatted automati­cally before the backup begins.
— Reference Guide 37
Page 45
UTILITY screen
TYPE 2
This backup method allows new backup data to be added to media on which data was previ­ously backed up. It is not possible to backup data that extends across multiple volumes of media. Before you can use this method to backup on previously-unused media, you must format the media manually.
Tip!
For details on the procedure for backing up songs, refer to Operation Guide “Chapter 16. Backing up and restoring songs.”
F MASTERING MODE
Use the following two buttons to select the writ­ing mode that will be used when you execute the Mastering function.

This turns data writing on/off. If the TEST button = on and the WRITE button = off, only the writ­ing test will be executed. (Default= on)
G CD BACKUP MODE
Use the following three buttons to select the writing mode when backing up songs to CD-R/ RW media.
TEST/WRITE buttons
These are the same functions as the MASTER­ING MODE 6 TEST/WRITE buttons.
COMPARE button
When this button is on, the backup source song data on the internal hard disk will be compared with the backup destination data on the CD-R/ RW media after the data has been written. If for some reason the backup was not written cor­rectly, an error message will be displayed when Compare is executed.

MIDI CLOCK
MIDI Clock will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector or TO HOST connector.
MTC + MIDI CLK
Both MIDI Time Code (MTC OUT connector) and MIDI Clock (MIDI OUT connector or TO HOST connector) will be transmitted.
When using the AW4416 as the MIDI Clock master, you must set MIDI OUT SEL. to “MIDI OUT” in the MIDI screen MIDI Setup
page. (
B MTC SYNC
Specify whether the AW4416 will be the MTC master (MASTER) or slave (SLAVE) when MTC is used to synchronize an AW4416 song with the operation of an external MIDI device.
P.39)
If master is selected, MTC messages will be transmitted from the MTC OUT connector in synchronization with the progress of the song. If slave is selected, the AW4416 song will follow the MTC messages received at the MIDI IN con­nector.
Tip!
The MTC frame rate is selected in the SONG screen Setting page (→ P.2).
C MMC (MIDI Machine Control)
When using MMC for remote control between the AW4416 and an external MIDI device, this setting species whether the AW4416 will be the MMC master (MASTER) or slave (SLAVE).
If master is selected, operating the transport of the AW4416 will cause the corresponding MMC command to be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector or TO HOST connector.
If slave is selected, MMC commands sent from a MIDI sequencer or other external device can be used to remotely select or de-select recording tracks and control transport operations on the AW4416.
— Reference Guide 41
Page 49
MIDI screen
When using MMC, you must match the device ID of the AW4416 and the external MIDI device. For details on setting the device ID, refer to MMC DEV.6.
D SYNC AVE. (sync average)
When the AW4416 is used as an MTC slave, this parameter species the precision with which MTC will be received.
Normally you will use this with the OFF but­ton selected. However if synchronization is unreliable, try the 1 or 2 setting.
E SYNC OFFSET
When the AW4416 is used as an MTC slave, this parameter species how the absolute time of the AW4416 will be shifted relative to the time code (MTC) received from the external device. You can specify a range of “– 24:00:00:00.00”–”+24:00:00:00.00.

The PAIRING popup window will appear, allowing you to specify how the pairing will occur.
Tip!
Another way to pair channels is to simulta­neously press adjacent odd-numbered → even-numbered [SEL] keys. In this case, the above window will appear when you press the two [SEL] keys simultaneously.
3. To defeat pairing, move the cursor to a button displayed as STEREO and press the [ENTER] key.
A popup window will appear, asking you to conrm that you wish to defeat pairing.
Tip!
You can also defeat channel pairing by press­ing the two [SEL] keys simultaneously.
4. Move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.
2. Move the cursor to either the INPUT 1 2, INPUT 2 1, or RESET BOTH but­ton, and press the [ENTER] key.
You can select one of the following three pair­ing methods.
INPUT x y (x=odd number, y=even num-
ber)
The parameters of the odd-numbered channel/ bus (except for phase and pan) will be copied to the even-numbered channel.
INPUT y x (x=odd number, y=even num-
ber)
The parameters of the even-numbered channel/ bus (except for phase and pan) will be copied to the odd-numbered channel.
RESET BOTH
The parameters of both odd and even-num­bered channels/buses will be reset to their default values.
When you execute pairing, the button display will change to STEREO.” When you use the [SEL] keys to select a paired channel, the other [SEL] key will blink.
