DAW ConnectionUsing Physical MIDI Ports to Connect your DAWOptionally the AWS can use a standard MIDI connection between the AWS console and your DAW using a multi port MIDIinterface. In this mode only one DAW layer can be configured. To select this mode navigate to the SSL > Misc > Setupmenu and set MIDI communicates via: MIDI Ports.The console communicates with the DAW via the MIDI ports located on the rear of the console:MIDI 1 MIDI 2 MIDI 3 MIDI 4 MIDI 5 MIDI 6IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN OUTAWS MIDIPortsIN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN OUTDAW MIDIPortsMIDI ports should be connected to your DAW MIDI interface unit – three available ports are required (one port includesan IN and OUT socket). To connect a port, the output of the MIDI interface unit port 1 should connect to the MIDI 1 inputport of the AWS and the MIDI output of the AWS port 1 should connect to the input of your MIDI interface unit port 1.Repeat for the other ports using the diagram above as a guide. Port 4 is used both for archiving Total Recall and Automationdata and to receive MIDI Timecode (MTC).Follow the instructions on configuring your workstation but use the physical MIDI ports rather than the virtual MIDI portswhen selecting MIDI ports.Ports 5 and 6 are currently not implemented and are reserved for future expansion.The recommended maximum length of MIDI cables is 15 meters.Other ConnectionsSerial 1 –Serial 2 –X-Rack control data.
