the AW1600 is in the default state, this counter will indi-

liseconds. At the left of this value is displayed the locate
point or marker that was passed most recently.

of measures/beats. The measures/beats are calculated
according to the tempo and time signature specified in the
tempo map for the song. The current tempo and time sig-
nature are displayed at the left of this value.
E Main screen
The information displayed in this area will depend on the
key that was last pressed. The following types of object
are displayed in the main screen.
● Cursor
The blinking frame within the display
is called the “cursor.” When an object
in the screen is enclosed by the cursor,
that object is selected for operations.
● Buttons
Buttons in the display are used to
switch a parameter on/off, to select
one of multiple choices, or to exe-
cute a specific function. A button
that is currently on will be dis-
played in black with white text. A
button that is currently off will be
displayed in white with black text.
● Knob/fader/parameter display area
The knob/fader/parameter display area within the dis-
play is used to edit the value of the corresponding
parameter.
● Page display area
Most screens are divided by func-
tion into two or more “pages.” The
page display area lists the pages
that can be selected within that
screen. The name of the currently
selected page is highlighted.
When you want to edit an internal setting of the AW1600,
or to edit a parameter that cannot be operated by a fader or
knob shown in the display, you will need to access the
desired screen and page.
