Assigning MIDI messages to the
[ON] keys
As an example, here’s how you can use a sustain
pedal connected to a MIDI sequencer to assign Hold
On (control change #64 with a value of 127) and
Hold Off (control change #64 with a value of 0) mes-
sages to the Remote A [ON] key 1.
1
Connect the AW2816s MIDI IN connector
to the MIDI OUT connector of a synthe-
sizer to which a sustain pedal is connected,
and connect the AW2816s MIDI OUT/
THRU connector to the MIDI IN connector
of the external device.
For details on connections and settings, refer to
page 189.
2
Press the [REMOTE] key [F1] key.
The REMOTE screen REMOTE A page will
appear.
3
Press [SEL] key 1.
The upper line in the display will show the MIDI
message currently assigned to [ON] key 1.
With the default settings, no MIDI message is
assigned to [ON] key 1 in the Remote A page. In such
cases, a value of “END” will be input at the first byte
to indicate the end of the MIDI message.
4
Move the cursor to the LEARN button in
the upper line of the display, and press the
[ENTER] key to turn the button on.
5
Press the sustain pedal connected to your
MIDI synthesizer.
A control change #64 with a value of 127 (7F in
hexadecimal; Hold On message) will be input in
the MIDI message display area. For this message,
the right digit (first place) of the first byte is the
MIDI channel number, the second byte is the
control number, and the third byte is the actual
value.
6
Turn off the LEARN button, and release the
sustain pedal.
Tip!
If you release the sustain pedal before turning the
LEARN button off, a control change #64 with a value
of 0 (hexadecimal 00) will be input (Hold Off) in the
MIDI message display area. However even in this
case, the following procedure will not be affected.
7
Move the cursor to the third byte, and use
the [DATA/JOG] dial to change the value to
SW.
The byte whose value is set to “SW” will be trans-
mitted as a value of 127 (hexadecimal 7F) when
the [ON] key changes to On, and as a value of 0
(hexadecimal 00) when the [ON] key changes to
Off. In this example, the data will be output as a
Hold On/Off message.
Tip!
The MIDI message to be assigned can also be speci-
fied one byte at a time, using the procedure of step
7. In this case, you will need to input the “END”
value at the end of the MIDI message.
If you want to transmit a specific MIDI message
each time the [ON] key is pressed, you do not need
to input the “SW” value.
If you input the MIDI message one byte at a time, it is
possible that you may input an invalid MIDI message
by accident. Be aware that if this occurs, operating a
fader or [ON] key will send this MIDI message from
the MIDI OUT connector or TO HOST connector,
possibly causing the connected external device to
malfunction.
