Audio Routing Buttons; Digital Source - Alesis CADI Owner's Manual

A R
UDIO OUTING
Input Select, Input Route, and Aux Route configurations use the Input Enables for setup.
Pressing any audio routing function button causes the Input Enable buttons of online M20s
to indicate and perform the route editing.

Pressing the Digital Source button once causes it to light, and the display indicates "Dig
Source = aaaaaaaa", where aaaaaaaa = OptLoop or Local.
With Local selected, pressing the Digital Source button a second time opens a second page
that says "Dig Source n = bbbbbbbb."
The n field selects the machine to be edited; n = 1 - 8 (indicating online machines
only).
The bbbbbbbb field chooses the machine's digital source: Optical, Trk Copy, or I/O
Card (assuming it detects an I/O card).
In Local mode, pressing the Digital Source button multiple times toggles between the
Digital Source Mode and Digital Source selection pages.
When the digital source mode is OptLoop (optical loop), the digital source selection page
is not available.
OptLoop mode defaults to setting the digital out mode for all online slave M20s to "Dig
Thru" (see Utility Page 1 of the M20 manual). This allows for convenient digital audio
routing between M20s when selecting digital source tracks in the Input Routing setup
(Track Copy and I/O Card are not available in OptLoop mode).
When a track is selected as a digital source track under Input Routing, the associated M20
will automatically change its digital output setting (Utility Page 1) to 20-bit. All other M20s
will configure to Dig Thru mode. Only one M20 can be a digital source machine. When the
Digital Source Mode is changed to Local, returning to OptLoop mode resets the digital
source track machine to ID1. When in OptLoop mode, using Input Select is not allowed
since all inputs must remain digital while in OptLoop.
In Local mode, each M20's Digital Source selection can be set independently, but the source
clock(s) must still be synchronous with the master M20 since it controls the slaves' sample
clocks. Optical, Track Copy, and I/O Card (if present) modes are available.
If an M20 is offline, that machine's Digital Source page will indicate that the
corresponding M20 is offline. Example: With ID3 offline and four other connected M20s
online, the display will indicate "Dig Source 3 = offline" when ID3 is selected.
Entering a high-level parameter page (e.g., pressing the Locate Select button) exits the
Digital Source page.
