AW1600 Owner’s Manual
Before you begin recording, set the tempo and volume of the metronome. If you will not be using
the metronome while recording, you can skip the following procedure.

press the [TRACK] key or hold down the
[TRACK] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]
keys to access the VIEW page.

and press the [ENTER] key.
The metronome will be turned on.

When you press the [PLAY] key to begin
playback, the metronome will begin sound-
ing. As necessary, move the cursor to the
metronome knob and turn the [DATA/JOG]
dial to adjust the metronome level.

In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly
press the [SONG] key or hold down the
[SONG] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ]

The TEMPO page lets you create a tempo map that
specifies the tempo and time signature of the song.
The tempo and time signature that you specify here
will be the basis for the measure/beat display counter,
the internal metronome, and the MIDI clock messages
generated by the AW1600.
1 Tempo map events
These are the events recorded in the tempo map. When
you create a new song, a tempo map event of time sig-
nature = 4/4 and tempo = 120 will be created at the
beginning of the song (measure 1, beat 1).

Move the cursor to the TEMPO field of the
event, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to set
the tempo value.
You can set a tempo in a range of 30–250 (BPM).
6
If necessary, move the cursor to the METER
field and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to
change the time signature.
You can set a time signature in a range of 1/4–8/4.
