1
Connect the AW2400 and your sequencer
as shown in the diagram below.
2
Use the Work Navigate section [MIDI] key to
access the MIDI screen Setting 1 page.
3
Set the connector/port and channel to be
used for program change message recep-
tion in the RX PORT and CHANNEL fields.
4
Turn the PROGRAM CHANGE (RX) field ON/
OFF button on.
If you want to receive program change messages on all
channels regardless of the MIDI receive channel set-
ting, also turn the OMNI (RX) button on.
This sets up the AW2400 to receive MIDI program
change messages.
5
Transmit a program change message from
your sequencer to the AW2400 on the MIDI
channel that you selected.
The scene assigned to that program change number
will be recalled.
Here’s how you can synchronize the AW2400 and your
external sequencer, and use the sequencer to record/play
the fader and pan operations you perform on the AW2400.
Since operating the AW2400’s mix parameters will cause
a large number of control change messages to be transmit-
ted, we will use MIDI Clock (which uses less data) as the
synchronization signal rather than MTC.
1
Connect the AW2400 and your sequencer
as shown in the following diagram.
2
Use the Work Navigate section [MIDI] key to
access the MIDI screen Setting 2 page. Turn
on the MASTER button in the MTC field, and
turn on the MIDI CLOCK button in the SYNC
OUT field.

of your sequencer track, scenes will be recalled automatically
as the AW2400 and your sequencer run in synchronization.
