Remotely controlling a tone generator module
Here’s how you can use the AW16G’s MIDI Remote
function to remotely control a tone generator module.
1
Connect the AW16G to your tone generator
module as shown in the following diagram.
2
Use the Work Navigate section [REMOTE] key
to access the PRESET page of the REMOTE
screen.
The Remote function will be enabled.
Tip!
Tip!
•While the REMOTE screen is displayed, the functions of
the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys will be disabled; the
faders and keys will function as controllers that trans-
mit MIDI messages.
The MIDI Remote function is enabled whenever the
REMOTE screen is displayed. However, MIDI messages
will not be output if the MIDI button is turned off in the
MIDI page (
p. 150).
3
Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the preset
that you want to use.
For example if you select preset 06 (XG 1-16), the
AW16G’s faders will control the volume of parts 1–
16 of your XG tone generator, and [TRACK SEL]
keys 1–16 will control the on/off status of parts 1–
16.
4
If necessary, use the buttons in the CH area
to select the MIDI channels to which the fad-
ers and [TRACK SEL] keys will correspond.
The buttons in the CH area select the combination
of MIDI channels that are assigned to the faders and
[TRACK SEL] keys. For the combination of MIDI
channels used when each button is on, refer to
“MIDI and utility functions” ( p. 149).
5
Operate the faders and [TRACK SEL] keys of
the AW16G.
The messages assigned to the faders and [TRACK
SEL] keys will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT/
THRU connector, and the parameters of your tone
generator module will change accordingly.

Tip!
It is also possible to assign your own MIDI messages to
the AW16G’s faders and [TRACK SEL] keys. For details,
refer to “MIDI and utility functions” (
p. 149).
