This chapter describes the features of the AW16G, the name of each 
part and its function, and introduces terminology you need to know 
when using the AW16G.

The AW16G is an audio workstation that combines a dig-
ital mixer, multi-effect processor, hard disk recorder, 
sampler, and CD-RW drive.

The following diagram shows the signal flow within the
