AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement
Added/modified MIDI functions
MIDI-related functionality has been significantly
enhanced in version 2.0. The following functions and
specifications have been added or modified.
● The various items in the previous MIDI Setup page
and MIDI Sync page have been reorganized into
the MIDI Setup 1 page and MIDI Setup 2 page.
● You can now use control changes or parameter
changes to operate the parameters of the AW4416
from an external MIDI device.
● Internal AW4416 settings can now be output via
MIDI.
● A “MIDI Remote” function has been added, allow-
ing you to use faders 1–16 and [ON] keys 1–16 to
control external MIDI devices.
● As an MTC output destination, you can now select
MIDI/TO HOST/OPTION (option slot 2) in addition
to the previous choice of the MTC OUT connector.
● MTC is now transmitted from the MTC OUT con-
nector at all times.
● As the port used to transmit/receive MIDI mes-
sages, you can now select OPTION (option slot 2)
in addition to the previous choices of MIDI/TO
HOST. This setting will be valid when a I/O card
able to transmit/receive MIDI messages (such as the
mLAN card “MY8-mLAN” expected to go on sale
soon) is installed in option slot 2.
The additions and changes for each item are
explained below.
Changes in the MIDI Setup page/
MIDI Sync page
The various items in the previous MIDI Setup page
and MIDI Sync page have been reorganized into the
MIDI Setup 1 page and MIDI Setup 2 page. The content of the new pages is as follows.
■
MIDI Setup 1 page
Here you can select the MIDI transmit/receive channels, turn transmission and reception of various MIDI
messages on/off, and make settings related to MIDI
synchronization.

A PROGRAM CHANGE
Here you can make settings for program change
message transmission/reception. Each button has
the following function.
● TX
If this button is on, the program change number
assigned to a scene will be transmitted when that
scene is recalled.
● RX
If this button is on, a scene will be recalled when
the program change number assigned to that
scene is received.
● OMNI
If this button is on, program changes of all MIDI
channels will be received regardless of the Rx
CH (Receive MIDI channel) setting (8).
● ECHO
If this button is on, received program changes
will be “thru-ed” (retransmitted) without change
from the MIDI OUT connector/TO HOST connector.
B CONTROL CHANGE
Here you can make settings for control change
message transmission/reception. Each button has
the following function.
● TX
If this button is on, operating a parameter of the
AW4416 will cause the control change assigned
to that parameter in the CTL Asgn. page to be
transmitted.
● RX
If this button is on, receiving a control change
will cause the AW4416 parameter assigned to
that control change in the CTL Asgn. page to
change.
● OMNI
If this button is on, control changes of all MIDI
channels will be received regardless of the Rx
CH (Receive MIDI channel) setting (8).

Version 2.0 Manual Supplement
● ECHO
If this button is on, received control changes will
be “thru-ed” (retransmitted) without change from
the MIDI OUT connector/TO HOST connector/
option slot.
C PARAMETER CHANGE
Here you can make transmission/reception settings for system exclusive messages that control
the AW4416’s parameters (parameter change
messages). Each button has the following function.
● TX
If this button is on, operating a parameter of the
AW4416 will cause the corresponding parameter
change to be transmitted.
● RX
If this button is on, receiving a parameter change
will cause the corresponding AW4416 parameter
to change.
● ECHO
If this button is on, received parameter changes
will be “thru-ed” (retransmitted) without change
from the MIDI OUT connector/TO HOST connector/option slot.
D BULK
Here you can make settings for bulk data reception. If the BULK RX button is on, the AW4416
will be able to receive bulk dump data and messages requesting a bulk dump (bulk dump
requests).
E MTC SYNC
When using MTC (MIDI Time Code) to synchronize the AW4416 song with an external MIDI
device, this setting selects whether the AW4416
will function as the MTC master (MASTER button
on) or MTC slave (SLAVE button on).
In the previous version, the MTC MASTER indicator in
the level meter/counter was lit or dark depending on
whether MTC output from the MTC OUT connector
was turned on or off. However in version 2.0, MTC is
output from the MTC OUT connector at all times. For
this reason, the lit/dark status of the MTC MASTER
indicator now indicates the on/off state of MTC output from the MIDI OUT connector/TO HOST connector/option slot 2.
F SYNC OFFSET
When using the AW4416 as an MTC slave, this
lets you shift the absolute time of the AW4416
relative to the received MTC. The range is “24:00:00:00.00” – “+24:00:00:00.00”
H Rx CH (Receive channel)
This specifies the channel (1–16) of the MIDI
messages that receive received by the AW4416.
I MMC DEVICE
This sets the device ID (1–127) used to distinguish between devices when MMC (MIDI
Machine Control) messages are used to perform
remote control between the AW4416 and external MIDI devices.
J MMC MODE
Use the following three buttons to make settings
for MMC reception and transmission.
● OFF button
If this button is on, the AW4416 will not transmit
or receive MMC.
● MASTER button
If this button is on, the corresponding MMC
command will be transmitted from MIDI OUT/
TO HOST connector/option slot when you operate the transport of the AW4416.
● SLAVE button
If this button is on, the AW4416 will obey MMC
commands received from MIDI IN/TO HOST
connector/option slot.
Tip!
In order to use MMC, the device ID of the AW4416
and the external MIDI device must match. The device
ID of the AW4416 is specified by the MMC DEVICE
9
setting (
).
K SYNC AVERAGE
This sets the permissible range of variation in
MTC timing when using the AW4416 as an MTC
slave. Select one of the following three settings.
● OFF button
If this button is on, the permissible range will be
the least, and the AW4416 will synchronize to
incoming MTC with the highest precision. However if MTC with significant variation is received,
synchronization may be lost or become unstable.
This setting is suitable when two AW4416 units
are being operated in synchronization.
● 1 button/2 button
Turning on the 1 button will increase the permissible range, and turning on the 2 button will set
the permissible range to the maximum setting.
These settings are suitable when an external
device with significant variation in MTC (such as
a tape recorder or computer-based sequencer) is
used as the MTC master.
G Tx CH (Transmit channel)
This specifies the channel (1–16) of the MIDI
messages that will be transmitted from the
AW4416.
The SYNC AVERAGE setting is valid only when the
word clock source is set to “INT” (internal clock). If
the AW4416 is synchronized to an external clock,
operation will automatically be the same as when this
setting is OFF.
