To check the currently assigned MIDI channel:
• Move the R
EMOTE
/L
OCAL
switch from the Remote
position to the Local/MIDI position.
• Note that one of the Channel LEDs will blink for
a few seconds. The Channel LED that is blinking
corresponds to the MIDI channel that is currently
assigned to the A-16R.
To change the currently assigned MIDI channel:
• Hold down the desired Channel button on the A-16R
while switching from Remote to Local/MIDI mode
with the R
EMOTE
/L
OCAL
switch.
• The selected Channel’s LED will blink temporarily,
indicating the MIDI channel is now assigned.
The A-16R MIDI channel is retained in non-volatile memory, meaning
that the MIDI channel is remembered when the unit is powered down.
This means that sixteen different A-16Rs can be assigned to unique
MIDI channels allowing a separate automated mix for each A-16R to
be driven from a multi-track sequencer, for example.
The A-16R MIDI channel can only be assigned from the front panel
of the A-16R, not from the A-16CS Control Surface. The default MIDI
base channel programmed at the factory is channel 1.
MIDI Automation
An A-16R can be controlled remotely via MIDI, allowing automated
mixing of multiple A-16Rs in a performance situation. This allows a
user to have a custom monitor mix, but with a remote device such as a
MIDI sequencer making the changes.
The A-16R will support MIDI control of Channel Volume, Pan, and
Mute settings, as well as Channel Selection and Preset Recall. The
A-16R listens to MIDI channel voice messages which are broadcast
on the A-16R’s assigned MIDI channel. To do this, the L
OCAL
/R
EMOTE
switch on the A-16R must be in the Local/MIDI position, and the unit
must be in normal Mix Mode.
