If the level changes abruptly at the start/end
point of a region, noise or a click may be
heard during playback. For this reason, it is
not possible to set the region fade time to 0
msec. If you notice noise or clicks, set the
region fade time to a longer value.

C FS (sampling frequency)
This shows the sampling frequency of the signal

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.

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

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,
...).

● PRE FADER
The pre-fader signal will be sent to the SOLO

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/

Tip!
• When you save a song, date and time information will be stored in the song according
to this internal clock.
• When shipped from the factory, the internal
clock of the AW4416 is set to Japan time.
• For details on setting the internal clock, refer
to the opening section of the Operation

E REMOVABLE BACKUP
This specifies the backup method when backing
up songs to removable media such as MO.
Move the cursor to this button and press the
[ENTER] key to switch the setting between the
following two methods. (Default= TYPE 1)
● TYPE 1
This backup method makes full use of the
capacity of the removable media, but does not
allow backup data to be added later. Even if the
data being backed up will not fit 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.
● TEST button
If this button is on, a test will be performed
before writing data to the CD-R/RW media to
see whether writing errors will occur. (Default=

● WRITE button
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.

When using the AW4416 as the MIDI Clock
master, you must set MIDI OUT SEL. to
“MIDI OUT” in the MIDI screen MIDI Setup

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 specifies 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 specifies 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 specifies 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”.

You can select one of the following three pairing methods.
● INPUT x → y (x=odd number, y=even num-

the even-numbered channel.
● INPUT y → x (x=odd number, y=even num-

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

[Procedure]
1. Access the SAMP. PAD screen CD Import
page, and press [SHIFT] key + [F2] (CD
UNLOAD) key.
The tray of the CD-RW drive will be ejected.
2. Place an audio CD or mixed-mode CD in
the tray, and press the [SHIFT] key + [F1]
(CD LOAD) key.
The tray of the CD-RW drive will close, and the
CD will be inserted.
3. Move the cursor to the DRIVE area, use
the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the SCSI ID
of the CD-RW drive, and press the
[ENTER] key.
The AW4416 will recognize the CD that was
inserted, and a display like the following will
appear.
5. Move the cursor to the TRACK/TOTAL
area, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to
select the track from which you wish to
import.
6. Move the cursor to the EXTRACT POINT
area, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to specify START (start point) and END (end
point) to select the area that will be
assigned to the pad.
4. Move the cursor to the ASSIGN TO area,
and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the
bank and pad number to which the CDDA data will be assigned.
In this page a pair of adjacent odd-numbered →
even-numbered pads of the same bank will be
selected (e.g., A–1/A–2, B–1/B–2) and automatically specified as a pair, and the L/R channels of
the CD-DA data will be assigned to these.
7. To execute the sample import, move the
cursor to the EXECUTE button and press
the [ENTER] key.
A confirmation message like the following will
appear.
If a message of “Prohibit CD Import” appears
instead of this message, access the UTILITY
screen/Prefer.2 page ([UTILITY] key → [F3] key)
and change the CD/DAT DIGITAL REC button
display to ENABLE.
8. Move the cursor to the OK button and
press the [ENTER] key.
The sample import will be executed.
Tip!
So that the samples assigned to the two pads
will play back in stereo, assign the pad outputs to paired channels. (SETUP screen Patch
