Operation section
Using MMC to control the AW2816
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages can be used
to control the transport of the AW2816 from an exter-
nal device. Here’s how you can synchronize the oper-
ation of the AW2816 with an external device such as
a computer or MIDI sequencer, and send MMC mes-
sages from the external device to the AW2816 to
remotely control various operations.
Tip!
MMC is a group of MIDI messages used to remotely
control operations such as record, playback, stop, or
select/defeat record tracks on devices such as audio
recorders.
Conversely from the example that is explained
below, you can transmit MMC from the AW2816 to
an external device, so that the external device is
remotely controlled from the AW2816. This method
is used when you need to synchronize the operation
of two AW2816 units (
P.197).
1
Connect the AW2816s MTC OUT connec-
tor to the MIDI IN connector of the exter-
nal device, and make settings on both
devices so that the external device will fol-
low the MTC that is transmitted from the
AW2816.
For details on using MTC synchronization, refer
to page 192.
2
Connect the AW2816s MIDI IN connector
to the MIDI OUT connector of the external
device (or connect the AW2816s TO HOST
connector to the serial port of your com-
puter).
For details on connections and settings, refer to
page 189 to 190.
In this example, the AW2816 will be the MTC
master/MMC slave (the device that receives
MMC), and the external device will be the MTC
slave/MMC master (the device that transmits
MMC).
3
Press the [MIDI] key [F3] key.
The MIDI screen MIDI Setup 1 page will appear.
4
Move the cursor to the SLAVE button in the
MMC MODE area, and press the [ENTER]
key.
The AW2816 will operate as an MMC slave.
5
Move the cursor to the numerical box in
the MMC DEVICE area, and use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to set the MMC device ID.
The device ID is a number used to distinguish
between devices when a system contains more
than one MMC-compatible device. The device
ID of the AW2816 can be set in a range of 1–127
(default setting= 1).
6
Set the external device to the same MMC
device ID that you selected in step 5.
7
Play back the external device.
When you play back the external device, the cor-
responding command will be transmitted to the
AW2816, and the AW2816 will begin playing.
Immediately after playback begins, the AW2816
will begin transmitting MTC to the external
device, and the external device will begin syn-
chronized operation in accordance with the
incoming MTC data.
When you stop the external device, the corre-
sponding MMC command will be transmitted to
the AW2816, and the AW2816 will stop.
Tip!
MMC can also be used to specify tracks for recording
and to control recording operations from an external
device.
