to Motif Studio Setups
You will need to have a good working understanding
of the MOTIF (especially the sequencing operations) and the basic
record operations of the AW16G.
In this scenario, you have even greater control over getting your
Motif tracks on to the AW16G, as well as the ability to go back
at a later date and overdub new audio in synch with your original
performance.
STEP 1. When synchronization between
the MOTIF and AW16G is required, MIDI CLOCK will be used and the
AW16G will ALWAYS be the master MIDI CLOCK source. The MOTIF
Sequencer Tempo will slave to the clock being generated by the AW16G
via MIDI connection. You will not be able to set your tempo independently
in the MOTIF so you will need to create a tempo map in the AW16G.
STEP 2. The MAIN Motif L-R outputs
and Assignable L-R outputs are connected to AW16G channel inputs
3-4 and 5-6. MOTIF Assignable L-R outputs do not route through the
Reverb, Chorus or Variation effects in the MOTIF, but you can use
the insert effect on these outputs. Assignable L-R can be configured
as stereo pairs or as 2 discreet mono outputs.
STEP 3. The AW16G needs to be set
to the following settings internally (Press [UTILITY] mode button
on front of AW16G):

- The AW16G should be set for CLK
for MIDI Clock.
- MMC-Midi Machine Control should
be set to MASTER (AW16G will control
the MOTIF)
STEP 4. The Motif needs to be set
to the following settings internally:

Set the Motif's MIDI Sync ([UTILITY]/[F5]/[SF3]) to MIDI
and the MOTIF will slave to the MIDI clock generated from the AW16G
via MIDI.
NOTES: If
you decide to use MTC as your clock, it will be necessary to set
the Time Signature and Tempo in both the AW16G and the Motif to
the same. For example: Set both to 4/4 time and 120 bpm or whatever
for your song this is done on the TEMPO MAP of the AW16G and the
main Song screen of the Motif. The Power User guide
will give you information on how to set exact Start times so that
when the AW16G hits measure 1: beat 1 clock 0, the Motif will start.
(See the paragraph on "Set the START Point of a SONG"...it
really makes sense to leave room on the AW16G for a count in).
