The display of the AW1600 shows the following informa-
tion.

This indicates the current location within the song. When 
the AW1600 is in the default state, this counter will indi-
cate the absolute time (the time from where you began 
recording the song) in units of hours/minutes/seconds/mil-
liseconds. At the left of this value is displayed the locate 
point or marker that was passed most recently.

D

This indicates the current location within the song in units 
of measures/beats. The measures/beats are calculated 
according to the tempo and time signature specified in the 
tempo map for the song. The current tempo and time sig-
nature are displayed at the left of this value.

E

The information displayed in this area will depend on the 
key that was last pressed. The following types of object 
are displayed in the main screen.

● Cursor

The blinking frame within the display 
is called the “cursor.” When an object 
in the screen is enclosed by the cursor, 
that object is selected for operations.

● Buttons

Buttons in the display are used to 
switch a parameter on/off, to select 
one of multiple choices, or to exe-
cute a specific function. A button 
that is currently on will be dis-
played in black with white text. A 
button that is currently off will be 
displayed in white with black text.

● Knob/fader/parameter display area

The knob/fader/parameter display area within the dis-
play is used to edit the value of the corresponding 
parameter.

● Page display area

Most screens are divided by func-
tion into two or more “pages.” The 
page display area lists the pages 
that can be selected within that 
screen. The name of the currently 
selected page is highlighted.

When you want to edit an internal setting of the AW1600, 
or to edit a parameter that cannot be operated by a fader or 
knob shown in the display, you will need to access the 
desired screen and page.

The keys and knobs of various sections listed below 
have their own screens, and the corresponding screen 
will be displayed when you press a key or knob.

• All keys in the Work Navigate section

• All keys in the Quick Navigate section

• The [VIEW] key of the Selected Channel section

• All knobs of the Selected Channel section
