You will need to have a good working understanding of the MOTIF
(especially the sequencing operations) and the basic record operation
of the AW16G.
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 are 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. You will be able to control
the MOTIF mix parameters with the AW16Gs faders via the AW16Gs REMOTE
Mode.
STEP 4. 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
- Set the Control Change Mode in
Set to Mode 3 for automation into
MOTIF Sequencer*.
*Control
Change Mode in the AW16G will be set to Mode 3, allowing you to
record fader movements, pan settings and effect send levels of all
16 channels in AW16G to a dedicated track (in this case, track 16)
of the MOTIF sequencer for dynamic automation. This will be one
of the final things you do when you are in the recording process
(right before you create your stereo track).
STEP 5. The Motif needs to be set
to the following settings internally (PRESS [UTILITY]/[F5]/[SF3]):
Set the Motif's MIDI Sync to MIDI
and the MOTIF will slave to the MIDI clock generated from the AW16G
via MIDI.
STEP 1. Press the [REMOTE] Mode button.
You will enter the REMOTE mode on the AW16.
When the AW16G is set to “1-16" moving the faders on
the AW16G moves the corresponding faders in the MOTIF Mixer like
it is shown below:
To move faders 13-16 in the above configuration, you must change
the setting in the AW16G from “1-12” to “9-16”.
Then the first 8 faders of AW16G will move faders 9-16 in the MOTIF
Mixer.
STEP 2. Select Track(s)s on the AW16G
(Those whose fader movement you are going to record).
STEP 3. On the MOTIF from the SONG
MODE where the sequenced is currently residing, select the track
to record the automation data to. Press the [REC] ready button on
the MOTIF.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If
there is already MIDI data on the track you wish to use, be sure
and set the Motif to overdub the automation data on to that track.
STEP 4. Press [PLAY] on the AW16G
transport to start both recorders. The AW16G will playback the recorded
tracks and will transmit any fader moves, pan movements, channel
on/off and effect send movements you make out it’s MIDI port
on the channel you have chosen.
