C Control Menu - Alesis AI-2 Reference Manual

6.5C Control Menu

The Control menu is used to select the type of controller and set
editor, and time code chase synchronizer options.
Menu
CONTROL
Mode. Used to select the AI-2 control source. The AI-2 defaults
•
to AUTO, which automatically scans the control ports and
switches to the active port when it detects valid communications.
Use this menu to select a specific control source when the AI-2
is wired so that it can be used with more than one controller.
MMC control is always active and therefore does not appear as
a control input source. The AI-2 control mode should always be
selected prior to setting the system reference, as the choice of
controller may limit the available options.
Emulation. Used to select AI-2 emulation type. The PCM-7030
•
should be used whenever possible. Only select BVU-950 when
the editor does not recognize the PCM-7030 ID.
