WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from
electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.
Use only the specified AC power adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent
recommended by Yamaha).
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could
walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If
it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and
have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells
or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the
power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
If this device or the AC power adaptor should be dropped or damaged,
immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from
the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or
damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
•To avoid generating unwanted noise, make sure there is adequate
distance between the AC power adaptor and the device.
Do not cover or wrap the AC power adaptor with a cloth or blanket.
Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately
turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum.
Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may
cause feedback and may damage the speakers.
Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold
or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the
internal components.

•Avoid locations where the unit will be subject to strong vibration.
Excessive vibration can damage the internal hard disk and CD-RW drive.
Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the top to
prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular,
do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate
ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the
device(s), or even fire.
Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise,
both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.
Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all
devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume
levels to minimum.
Be sure to connect to a properly grounded power source. A ground screw
is provided on the rear panel of this device for maximum safety and
shock prevention. Be sure to connect the ground screw to a confirmed
ground point before plugging the device into the mains. Improper
grounding can result in electrical shock.
When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the
power amplifier LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power
off, the power amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.
Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the
device (vents, disc slots, etc.).
•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.)
into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, disc slots, etc.) If this
happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha
service personnel.
Do not use headphones for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.
Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and
avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the device at the minimum level. When you are not using the device for
a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualified Yamaha
service personnel about replacing defective components.

A built-in CD-RW drive is a device that lets you create or
play audio CDs, backup and restore data from the internal
hard disk, and read data from a CD-ROM.
1 Never touch the objective lens.
B Be careful that the objective lens does not become
dusty or dirty.
C If the objective lens becomes dusty, use a commer-
cially available blower etc. to blow the dust off with
clean air.
D Since the inside of the drive contains powerful mag-
netic circuitry, do not allow any magnetic material to
come near the drive. (In particular, any metallic frag-
ments, screws, or pins that enter the drive mechanism
will cause operation to fail.)
To insert a disc into the CD-RW drive, press the eject
switch. The disc tray will open. Place the disc on the tray,
and gently push the disc tray in.
If you are unable to remove the disc by pressing the eject
switch, insert a wire of less than 2 mm diameter (such as a
straightened paper clip) into the eject hole, and push gen-
tly. However, pressing the eject switch will not eject the
disc when the AW1600 is in the following states, so do not
use this method in such cases.
When the AW1600’s power is “STANDBY”
When the disc is being accessed (data is being read,
written, or erased)
While in CD PLAY mode
About the built-in CD-RW drive
Even if a CD-RW drive is operating normally, it may fail a read
or write operation approximately once in five hundred times.
•Yamaha will take no responsibility for any damages, direct or
consequential, that may result from the use of the above CD-
RW drive.
IMPORTANT
Handling
Using the CD-RW drive
The disc tray is ejected electrically. If the disc tray is not ejected
when you press the eject switch, turn on the power of the AW1600
and press the eject switch once again.
NOTE

Removing a CD in an emergency
This removal method is for use in emergencies such as when
you cannot remove the disc due to a malfunction of the disc
tray or a power failure. Do not use this method unnecessarily,
since doing so will damage the CD-RW drive.

AW1600 itself or the hard disk may be damaged.
CAUTION
Turning the power off (shut down)
If you turn off the power of the AW1600 without perform-
ing the above shutdown procedure, not only will any
unsaved changes be lost, but you also risk damaging the
data on the hard disk, and damaging or drastically short-
ening the lifespan of the hard disk itself and the internal
CD-RW drive. Please use caution.
IMPORTANT
•A small amount of electrical current is flowing even when
the power is in STANDBY mode. If you will not be using
the AW1600 for an extended period of time, be sure to dis-
connect the AC adaptor from your AC outlet.

Introducing the AW1600
This chapter describes the features of the AW1600, the name of each part
and its function, and introduces terminology you need to know when using
the AW1600.
The AW1600 is an audio workstation that combines a digital mixer, multi-effect processor, hard
disk recorder, sampler, and CD-RW drive.
The following diagram shows the signal flow within the AW1600.
Now let’s take a more detailed look at each section of the AW1600.
Full-fledged mixer with 36 input channels
The AW1600 contains a digital mixer with a total of 36
input channels, including analog inputs x 8, stereo digital
input x 1, recorder tracks x 16, and effect returns x 2.
Audio quality is guaranteed by 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit
internal processing. A Hi-Z input jack for directly con-
necting an electric guitar or bass is also provided.
Totally redesigned operation
The AW1600 is designed to be operated directly by the
musician (guitarist, vocalist, drummer etc.). With a mini-
mum number of steps, you can assign input signals to
tracks, switch the monitor signal, and record with effects,
EQ, and dynamics processing applied.
Four-band EQ and dynamics processors on
each channel
Four-band full-parametric EQ and dynamics processing is
provided on virtually every channel. You can recall the
desired preset from the library, and use the panel knobs
and keys to quickly adjust the settings.
Two high-quality multi-effect units are
built-in
The two built-in effect units deliver a wide variety of
effects including spatial-type effects such as reverb and
delay, modulation type effects such as chorus and flanger,
and guitar-type effects such as distortion and amp simula-
tion. These effects can be used either via send/return, or
inserted into a desired channel.

8-track Simultaneous Recording & 16-track
Simultaneous Playback (16-bit songs)
You can record multiple tracks of instruments one by one,
or set up multiple mics to record a drum set or a live per-
formance by an entire band. A stereo track for direct mix-
down of all 16 tracks is also provided, letting you manage
the multi-track audio and the two-track mix as a single
package of data.
For the multi-tracks as well as the stereo track, you can
use eight virtual tracks for each track. When recording
parts or during mixdown, you can switch virtual tracks to
record multiple takes, and select the best take later.
The “bit depth” (number of quantization bits) of the audio
data recorded on each track can be set to 16 or 24 bits for
each individual song. 16-bit songs allow simultaneous
recording of up to 8 tracks, and simultaneous playback of
up to 16 tracks. A maximum of eight 24-bit song tracks
can be recorded or played simultaneously ( p. 143).
Versatile editing functionality
Audio data recorded on a track can be copied, moved, or
edited using a variety of commands. You can make
detailed edits, or even make radical changes to the struc-
ture of the song by using the same riff repeatedly or
increasing the number of choruses.
“Time Compression” lets you compress or expand the
time axis of the audio data in a range of 50%–200%.
“Pitch Change” lets you modify the pitch in a range of one
octave upward or downward. You can use the Undo func-
tion to reverse the results of as many as the last fifteen
editing operations.
A variety of Locate methods, and auto
punch-in/out
Seven locate points (start/end, relative zero, A/B, in/out)
and 99 markers can be assigned at any desired point in the
song, for quick access via Locate operations. Auto punch-
in/out and A-B repeat playback functions are also pro-
vided. The AW1600 also has a metronome that follows the
tempo map.
Sound Clip function
The Sound Clip function lets you record and play back an
input signal without affecting the recorder tracks. You can
use this as a sketch for your ideas for a song or arrange-
ment.
Vocal Editing with Pitch Fix
A Pitch Fix function is provided to allow precise adjust-
ment of the pitch of a vocal track as well as the generation
of chorus parts from a main vocal line. This feature can
also be used to change the character of a vocal sound.
The AW1600 has a built-in pad-type sampler. You can
assign sixteen stereo waveforms to the four pads with
sample banks. Audio tracks from the hard disk, or WAV
files from a CD-ROM disc or computer can be loaded.
The timing at which each pad is pressed can be recorded
on a dedicated pad track, and edited later. Drum phrases
from the sample library can be assigned to pads, and you
can then record pad operations to use this function as a
simple rhythm machine.
The maximum polyphony is four stereo notes, and the
maximum playback time is a total of approximately 47
seconds (approximately 29 seconds in 24-bit songs) of ste-
reo for the entire Quick Loop Sampler.
A dedicated CD-RW drive is installed in the AW1600. You
can produce an audio CD from the stereo tracks of the
songs recorded on the hard disk. Markers assigned within
a song can also be used as the track numbers of the CD.
You can even use advanced techniques such as assigning
more than one track number within a single song.
The CD-RW drive can also be used to backup/restore
songs, to play back audio CDs, and to load WAV data
from a CD-ROM.
The AW1600 can be directly connected to a computer via
the built-in USB interface. This allows WAV-format audio
files to be copied between the AW1600 and computer for
convenient management and processing in computerbased
applications, and “backup” song files can be stored on the
computer’s memory media.

AW1600 Owner’s Manual
A location where data is recorded is called a “track.” The
AW1600’s recorder section uses the following types of
track.
Audio tracks
The physical tracks used to record and play back audio
data are called “audio tracks,” or simply “tracks.” The
AW1600 has sixteen audio tracks. You can record eight
tracks simultaneously, and play back 16 tracks simulta-
neously (16-bit songs).
Stereo track
Independently from audio tracks 1–16, the AW1600 has a
“stereo track” that records and plays a stereo audio signal.
The stereo track is used mainly as a dedicated mixdown
track for recording the final mix.
Virtual tracks
Each audio track 1–16 and the stereo track consists of
eight tracks. Each of these eight tracks is called a “virtual
track.” For the audio tracks and the stereo track, only one
virtual track can be recorded or played at any time. How-
ever, you can switch virtual tracks to continue recording
other takes while preserving the previously-recorded con-
tent.
The diagram below shows the concept of virtual tracks.
The horizontal rows indicate audio tracks 1–16, and the
vertical columns correspond to virtual tracks 1–8. The
shaded areas indicate the virtual track that is currently
selected for recording or playback.
For audio tracks 9/10–15/16, adjacent pairs of tracks are
handled by the mixer as a single unit. These pairs of tracks
are referred to as “paired tracks.A paired track can be
used to record a stereo source, or a dual-guitar perfor-
mance, etc.
Locations within a song that you specified in order to exe-
cute a function such as auto punch-in/out or A-B repeat
playback are called “locate points.” Locate points include
the in/out points and the A/B points, and you can use the
keys of the Locate section to move instantly to these
points.
Independently of the locate points, you can assign “mark-
ers” at desired locations within a song so that you will be
able to find these locations quickly. The AW1600 lets you
set up to ninety-nine markers (1–99). By using the keys of
the Locate section you can move instantly to the previous
or next marker.
A signal route that processes a single signal within the
mixer and sends it to various sections is called a “chan-
nel.” The mixer section of the AW1600 lets you use the
following channels.
Input channels 1–8
These apply EQ and dynamics processing to the signals
that are input from MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1–8, and send
them to the recorder tracks or to the STEREO OUT jacks.
Track channels 1–16
These channels apply EQ and dynamics processing to the
audio playback signals from audio tracks 1–16 of the
recorder, and send the signals to the stereo track and the
STEREO OUT jacks. You can also perform “bounce
recording” by sending these channels to different tracks.
Return channels 1/2
These channels send the return signals from the internal
effects to the stereo track and the STEREO OUT jacks.
Pad channels 1–4
These channels apply EQ and dynamics processing to the
playback of Quick Loop Sampler pads 1–4, and send the
signals to the stereo track and the STEREO OUT jacks.
Stereo output channel
This applies EQ and dynamics processing to the signal of
the stereo bus (which combines the signals of the various
channels), and sends it to the stereo track or to the STE-
REO OUT jacks. The same signal is also output from the
MONITOR OUT jacks and from the PHONES jack.

Introducing the AW1600

For track channels 9/10–15/16, pad channels 1–4, and
return channels 1/2, the parameters (except for pan and
phase) are always linked for adjacent pairs of channels.
These are called “paired channels.
For input channels 1–8 and track channels 1–8, you can
also switch two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered
channels to function as paired channels. The parameters
(except for pan and phase) of paired channels will be
linked, so that adjusting one parameter will cause the
same parameter of the other channel to follow.
A signal route that mixes the signals from multiple chan-
nels and send them to an output jack or recorder track
input is called a “bus.
Unlike channels, which handle only a single signal, a bus
can combine multiple signals into one or two, and send
them to a destination. (The term “bus” comes from the
vehicle that carries numerous people simultaneously.)
The AW1600’s mixer section lets you use the following
buses.
Stereo bus
This mixes the input signals to stereo, and sends them via
the stereo output channel to the stereo track of the
recorder or to the STEREO OUT jacks.
AUX buses 1/2
These combine the signals from the various track, input,
return, and pad channels, and output them via the STE-
REO/AUX OUT jacks to an external device. Use these
when you will use an external effect processor, or to create
a mix differing from the stereo channel for musicians to
monitor.
Effect buses 1/2
These combine the signals from the track, input, return,
and pad channels, and input them to built-in effects 1 and
2. (However, it is not possible for the return channel 1/2
signals to be returned to the input of the same effect.)
Buses L/R
These combine the signals of track, input channels, and
send them to recorder track inputs.
In the Quick Loop Sampler section you can assign stereo
waveforms to the four pads, and strike the pads to play
them back. These stereo waveforms are called “samples.
The memories to which the samples are assigned are
called “sample banks,” and each pad provides four sample
banks (A–D).
The AW1600 can realtime-record and play back your
strikes on the pads. The memory that records these pad
operations is called the “pad track.” Unlike the tracks that
record audio, the pad track simply records the timing at
which you “pressed a pad” or “released a pad.
The smallest unit by which the AW1600 manages a com-
position is called a “song.” When you save a song on the
hard disk, all data necessary for reproducing that song will
be saved; i.e., not just the audio data, but also mixer set-
tings and the samples used by the quick loop sampler. You
can return to the original state at any time by loading the
saved song.
A “scene” is a stored set of settings for the mixer section
and effects. The area of memory that holds the scenes is
called “scene memory,” and 96 scenes can be stored for
each song. Scene memories are saved on the hard disk as
part of the song.
A “library” is an area of memory that stores individual set-
tings such as for EQ or dynamics. The AW1600 has sepa-
rate libraries for EQ, dynamics, effect, channel, input, and
mastering settings. Each library is saved on the hard disk
as part of the song.
The “tempo map” records changes in tempo and time sig-
nature that occur during the course of a song. The tempo
map is saved on the hard disk as part of the song.
Various global settings that apply to all songs are collec-
tively referred to as “system data.” System data is stored
on the hard disk independently of the individual songs.
