Song management

Editing various settings for the song

Here’s how to make various settings for a song, such as
switching protect on/off and selecting the counter display
format and time code format.

Note

• These settings apply only to the current song. Before

you perform this procedure, load the song whose set-
tings you want to edit.

• The edited settings will be saved with the song data

when you save the song.

In the Work Navigate section, press the
[SONG] key.

The SONG screen will appear.

Repeatedly press the [SONG] key or hold
down the [SONG] key and use the CURSOR
[

]/[

] keys to access the SETUP page.

This page contains the following items.

PROTECT button

Switches protect on/off.

COUNTER DISPLAY

Selects the display format for the counter that
appears in the center of the top line in the display.

TIME CODE BASE

Selects the format (the number of frames per sec-
ond) for the time code used by the AW16G.

To switch the protect setting on/off, move
the cursor to the PROTECT button and press
the [ENTER] key.

Protect is a setting that prohibits any change to the
song data. If protect is turned on, the PROTECT but-
ton will be highlighted, and it will not be possible
to perform additional recording or editing, or to
erase the song.

Tip!

• We recommend that you turn protect on for important

songs.

• Even if protect is on, you can still copy the song (

→

p. 140) and adjust the mixer settings.

To change the counter display format, move
the cursor to one of the buttons in the
COUNTER DISPLAY area and press the
[ENTER] key.

In the COUNTER DISPLAY area, use the following
buttons to select the display format for the counter
that is shown in the center of the top line in the dis-
play.

ABS (absolute time) ....Display the current location in

hours/minutes/seconds/millisec-
onds, with the absolute time zero
location as 0.

REL (relative time) ......Display the current location in

hours/minutes/seconds/millisec-
onds, with the relative time zero
location as 0.

SEC .............................Display the current location in

hours/minutes/seconds/millisec-
onds, with the Start point as 0.

T.C..............................Display the current location in

time code (hours/minutes/seconds/
frames), with the Start point as 0.

REMAIN .....................When this button is on, the

remaining recordable time with
the selected number of recording
tracks will be displayed instead of
the current location.

Note

• The counter in the upper right of the display always

shows the current location in measure/beat units, rela-
tive to the Start point.

• The measure/beat display will depend on the settings in

the TEMPO page of the SONG screen. For details, refer
to “Creating a tempo map” (

→ p. 142).

To change the time code frame rate, move
the cursor to one of the buttons in the TIME
CODE BASE area, and press the [ENTER] key.

In the TIME CODE BASE area you can choose one
of the following frame rates to specify the minimum
unit of time code.

24 ...............................24 frames/second
25 ...............................25 frames/second
30 ...............................30 frames/second (30 non-drop

frame)

30D ............................29.97 frames/second (30 drop-

frame)

Tip!

This setting affects both the counter time code display
and the MTC that the AW16G transmits and receives. If
the AW16G is sending or receiving MTC to or from an
external device, you must set both devices to the same
frame rate.

Note

With the exception of COUNTER DISPLAY, the settings in
the SETUP page of the SONG screen cannot be changed
while the AW16G is running.
