AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement This manual supplement explains the functions and specifications that have been added or changed in version 2.0 of the AW4416’s system software. “Operation” explains how to use the new functionality, and “Reference” provides detailed explanations of all items in the pages that were added. Since revisions have also occurred in the MIDI data format in the appendices, this material is also provided. Contents Operation Reference Extensions to the Quick Rec function .....
Operation Extensions to the Quick Rec function The Quick Rec screen now has two pages: Quick Rec 1 and Quick Rec 2. Operations corresponding to what was the previous Quick Rec page are performed in the Quick Rec 1 page, and the newly added Quick Rec 2 page allows the various input signals/input channels to be freely patched to the tracks of the recorder.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement 4 In the REC.TR area, move the cursor to the jack for the desired patch-destination track, and press the [ENTER] key. 6 The patch-source and patch-destination in the screen will be connected by a patch cable. When you are finished making patch cable connections, move the cursor to the EXECUTE button located in the lower right of the display, and press the [ENTER] key. The following popup window will appear. Tip! • You may perform steps 3 and 4 in reverse order.
Shortcut key definitions The new version of the system program lets you assign desired functions to various combinations of the [SHIFT] key located at the right of the display (the [CTRL] key), in order to create your own shortcut keys. 1 3 The corresponding symbol will be highlighted, allowing you to assign a function. In the UNIT section, press the [UTILITY] key → [F5] (CTRL Key Assign) key. Tip! The CTRL Key Asgn. page added in version 2.0 will appear.
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.
H Rx CH (Receive channel) ● 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.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement ■ MIDI Setup 2 page In this page you can select the port that will be used for MIDI transmission and reception: MIDI OUT/ THRU connectors, TO HOST connector, or option slot. Here you can also select the synchronization messages that will be transmitted to external devices. Tip! In this page, signal routes along which MIDI messages flow are shown by a solid line ( | ), and signal routes along which MIDI messages do not flow are shown by a hollow line ( || ). 3 • THRU.
Using control changes to operate AW4416 parameters 2 Move the cursor to the CTL CHG. numerical box, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the control change number that you want to assign. 3 Move the cursor to the various fields in the PARAMETER area, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to set the parameter and its values. In version 2.0, AW4416 parameters can be assigned to control changes, so that AW4416 operations can be recorded/played back on a MIDI sequencer or other external MIDI device.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement ■ Recording/playing back parameter operations on a MIDI sequencer With these settings, operating a parameter on the AW4416 itself will cause the control change assigned in the CTL Asgn. page to be transmitted. When a control change is received from an external device, the corresponding parameter will change. Here’s how you can use control changes to record/ play back AW4416 parameter operations on a MIDI sequencer.
Using parameter changes to perform AW4416 operations In version 2.0, a type of system exclusive message called “parameter changes” can be used (instead of control changes) to operate internal parameters of the AW4416. Here’s how to record/play back parameter changes on your MIDI sequencer. 1 Make settings on the AW4416 and on your MIDI sequencer so that they will operate in synchronization using MTC. For details on connections, refer to page 10.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement If you select a category from the right column of buttons (SCENE MEM.–REMOTE), move the cursor to the column at the far right, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the content within that category that will be transmitted. Category Values SETUP MEM. AW4416 settings other than the following items — PGM. TABLE Settings of the MIDI screen PGM ASGN. page — CTL. TABLE Settings of the MIDI screen CTL ASGN. page — SCENE MEM.
6 Move the cursor to the TRANSMIT button, and press the [ENTER] key. The bulk dump will begin. While the bulk dump is occurring, a popup window will appear, indicating the current state of progress. Tip! You can abort the bulk dump by pressing the [ENTER] key while the popup window is displayed. • If an error occurs during the bulk dump, try increasing the INTERVAL setting to leave a longer pause between the data blocks that are transmitted.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement In this state, you can press the [F1] key to access the REMOTE screen. You can also make settings so that a MIDI message with a fixed value is transmitted only when the [ON] key is turned on (lit). For example if you assign a program change #1 message, the corresponding program change message will be transmitted each time you turn the [ON] key on.
6 Operate faders 1–16/[ON] keys 1–16. The MIDI messages assigned to the corresponding fader/[ON] key will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. Tip! • Even when the REMOTE screen is displayed, the function of the faders and [ON] keys of the stereo output channel will not change. • The Remote A/Remote B fader positions and [ON] key on/off status can be saved in a scene. • Fader and [ON] key operations can also be recorded in automix.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement 6 Move the cursor to the LEARN button located above the message display area (fader), and press the [ENTER] key. The fader LEARN button will be turned on. While this button is on, channel messages (note-on/off, control change, program change, etc.) or system exclusive messages received from an external device will be captured automatically, and input in the MIDI message display area of the fader.
■ Assigning a MIDI message to an [ON] key 4 You can assign a desired MIDI message to an [ON] key so that the message will be transmitted when you press the key. Press one of the [F1]–[F4] keys to display the fader/[ON] key to which you want to assign a MIDI message. The Remote A 1-8 page is selected in this example.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement 7 Operate the sustain pedal connected to your synthesizer. A control change #64 (Hold-on) message with a value of 127 (hexadecimal 7F) will be input in the [ON] key message area. In this message, the first value in the boxes extending toward the right (i.e., the first byte) is the MIDI channel, the second is the control number, and the third byte is the actual value of the message.
Additional functionality for Automix 7 Due to the addition of the MIDI Remote function, MIDI Remote operations can now be recorded/edited in the automix. In the AUTOMIX screen Main page, make sure that the OVERWRITE area FADER button (if you want to record fader operations) or the CH ON button (if you want to record [ON] key operations) is turned on. When you defeat automix recording mode and play back the song from the beginning, the MIDI Remote operations you recorded will be reproduced.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement 3 Move the cursor to the REMOTE button located at the right of the event list, and press the [ENTER] key. The event list will display only the MIDI Remote events (fader operations or [ON] key operations). In this screen, each column of the event list displays the following information. 1 2 3 A TIME This indicates the time at which the event is recorded, in units of hours/minutes/seconds/milliseconds. (The minimum unit is 25 milliseconds.
Mini YGDAI plug-in system compatible I/O card operations Plug-In 1 and Plug-In 2 pages have been added to display parameters for I/O cards compatible with the Mini YGDAI plug-in system. To access the Plug-In 1 page, press the [AUX7] → [F5] key. To access the PlugIn 2 page, press the [AUX8] → [F5] key. The content and operation of the Plug-In 1/Plug-In 2 pages will depend on the type of I/O card that is installed.
AW4416 Version 2.0 Manual Supplement Restoring to an I/O card When an AW4416 scene is recalled (or when a song is loaded), the MEM.BANK 1 settings are automatically restored to the I/O card in option slot 1, and the MEM.BANK 2 settings to the I/O card in option slot 2. However if necessary, you can also perform the restore operation manually. This method allows the MEM.BANK 1 settings to be restored to the I/O card of option slot 2 (or vice versa). The procedure is as follows.

MIDI data format 1. Functions 1.7 MTC slave synchronization 1.1 MIDI setup There are two types of serial connector: the MIDI connectors and the TO HOST connector. Each has the same functionality, and you can select either of these to use, depending on the type of device that will be connected. Both types use the MIDI format for communication. When using the TO HOST connector, you must select one of the three transmission methods listed below.
MIDI data format 2.1.5 OUT/THRU Select whether the MIDI OUT/THRU connector will function as OUT or as THRU. If THRU is selected, messages received at the MIDI IN connector will be re-transmitted without change from the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. Regardless of the MIDI/HOST setting, the connector will function as a THRU connector if the THRU setting is selected. If you want to use the connector as MIDI OUT, the MIDI/HOST setting must be OUT. 2.1.
