Setup; Eject - Alesis CADI Owner's Manual

CADI, Appendix C
S
ETUP
This unique CADI function allows you to switch several timecode-related variable settings
simultaneously. It can recall any of 10 stored (namable) setups at any time (except when
recording or chasing SMPTE) for each of the following master (ID1) M20 functions:
SMPTE Chase
Internal Generator
Clock Source
Sample Rate
SMPTE Rate
TC Source
Chase Reference
The on/off settings of SMPTE Chase and Internal Generator are not saved as part of a
setup, only their underlying variables.
Pressing the Setup button causes it to light, and the display indicates "Setup nn," where nn
= 01 through 10. The cursor remains under the setup number; to move to the name field,
press Enter/Name. Edit the name (up to eight characters) with the keypad and cursor
buttons.
Changing any of the setup parameters automatically edits and updates the Setup. Setups
are part of the M20 MIDI sysex dump, and may be saved and loaded to MIDI. However,
Setups are NOT part of the "Save/Load data to tape" function. Only the current recalled setup will
be saved to tape.
Tip: Use Setup to easily switch the M20 between commonly-used modes. For example,
you could design a setup named "Freerun" with INT GEN set to your preferred
time code defaults when generating time code onto other machines. Another setup
named "Slave 29" would set the M20 to chase-lock to external time code coming in
at the NTSC video rate.
To exit the Setup page, press any of the other parameter buttons (e.g. Locate Select,
Display, Varispeed, etc.).
E
JECT
As with professional VCRs, the Eject button lights only when all online M20s have no tapes
inserted. Only those M20s that are online will eject tapes upon pressing the CADI's Eject
button. If any machine is in Record mode, the Eject button will be ignored by all connected
online units.
