Using the MIDI connectors to connect the
AW2816 to external devices
Making connections
If you want MIDI messages to be transferred between
the AW2816 and an external device that has MIDI
connectors, use separately sold MIDI cables to make
the following connections.
●To send messages from the AW2816 to an external
device
Connect the AW2816’s MIDI OUT/THRU connec-
tor to the MIDI IN connector of the external device.
●To send messages from the external device to the
AW2816
Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external
device to the AW2816’s MIDI IN connector.
●To transmit MTC from the AW2816 to an external
device
Connect the AW2816’s MTC OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of the external device.
Tip!
The AW2816’s MTC OUT connector is a special MIDI
connector used to transmit MTC (MIDI Time Code)
when you want the AW2816 and an external device to
operate in synchronization.
Enabling the MIDI IN connector
and MIDI OUT/THRU connector
Here’s how to change the internal settings so that the
AW2816’s MIDI IN and MIDI OUT/THRU connectors
can be used to transmit and receive MIDI.
Tip!
The MTC connector is always enabled, regardless of
the internal settings.
1
Press the [MIDI] key → [F2] key.
The MIDI screen/MIDI Setup 2 page will appear.
In this page you can specify how MIDI messages
will flow inside the AW2816.
1 MIDI/HOST switch
This switch selects whether the MIDI connectors
(MIDI) or the TO HOST connector (TO HOST)
will be used to input and output MIDI messages.
B OUT/THRU switch
This switch selects whether the MIDI OUT/THRU
connector will function as a MIDI OUT connec-
tor (OUT) or MIDI THRU connector (THRU).
2
Move the cursor to the MIDI/HOST switch,
and press the [ENTER] key to select
“MIDI.”
When the AW2816 is in the default state, the
MIDI/HOST switch is set to “MIDI.”
Tip!
In this page, signal routes through which MIDI mes-
sages are traveling are indicated by solid lines ( | ),
and signal routes through which MIDI messages are
not traveling are indicated by hollow lines ( || ).
3
Move the cursor to the OUT/THRU switch,
and press the [ENTER] key to select “OUT.”
When the AW2816 is in the default state, the
OUT/THRU switch is set to “OUT.”
Tip!
If you want to use the MIDI OUT/THRU connector as
a MIDI THRU connector, set the MIDI/HOST switch
= MIDI, and the OUT/THRU switch = THRU.
