MIDI
The A‑16R supports MIDI communication via system exclusive (SysEx)
messages. System Exclusive messages (sometimes referred to as data dumps)
are designed to allow compatible devices to send and receive digital data,
providing such functions as preset storage and/or parameter editing. System
exclusive messages contain device‑specific information that allow connected
MIDI devices to identify compatible data and ignore data destined for other
devices connected in a MIDI network.
On the A‑16R the Re m o t e /lo c a l switch is used to select the MIDI status:
In the • lo c a l position (down), MIDI is on.
In the • Re m o t e position (up), MIDI is disabled.
