The default MIDIbase channel programmed at the factory is channel 1.MIDI AutomationAn A-16R can be controlled remotely via MIDI, allowing automatedmixing of multiple A-16Rs in a performance situation. This allows auser to have a custom monitor mix, but with a remote device such as aMIDI sequencer making the changes.The A-16R will support MIDI control of Channel Volume, Pan, andMute settings, as well as Channel Selection and Preset Recall. TheA-16R listens to MIDI channel voice messages which are broadcaston the A-16R’s assigned MIDI channel. To do this, the L OCAL /R EMOTEswitch on the A-16R must be in the Local/MIDI position, and the unitmust be in normal Mix Mode.
