Bank Selection And Track Enables; Control Of Other Adat Models - Alesis CADI Owner's Manual

B S
ANK ELECTION AND
The CADI has record and input buttons for four M20s, arranged as four groups of 8. There
are also four sets of record and input select buttons for the Aux/TC tracks. Two buttons,
Aux and TC, enable the Aux or TC tracks for input and record enabling. (Note: If tracks are
enabled on a "background" track enable bank or an Aux/TC group, the appropriate bank
select button flashes.) All these buttons light when active.
Two Bank select buttons determine whether the record and input buttons control M20s 1-4
or 5-8. With Bank 1-32 selected, the four groups of buttons control inputs 1-8, 9-16, 17-24,
and 25-32. The four sets of Aux/TC buttons control M20 1 through M20 4.
With Bank 33-64 selected, the four groups of buttons control inputs 33-40, 41-48, 49-56, and
57-64. The four sets of Aux/TC buttons control M20 5 through M20 8.
Note: If a machine with record- or input-enabled tracks goes offline, the CADI still indicates
the track enable status, but this status cannot be changed until the unit goes online again.
C
ONTROL OF
In a system with a master M20 whose Sync Out jack is connected to an ADAT, ADAT-XT,
ADAT-XT20, LX20 or similar machine, control of basic functions such as transport
movements, arming tracks etc. is possible for all ADATs in a system. However, control is
limited. For example, the ONLINE button will light for an ADAT-XT20, but pressing the
button cannot take the XT20 offline. Other ADAT models will chase to the M20 when it is
in jog or shuttle mode, but since their transports are different it is normal for them to stop
and start or relocate when jog or shuttle is used.
Please keep in mind that mixed systems can not give the fast lock and wind times of an
all-M20 system, and that other anomalies are possible, especially with older
machines or machines that do not have updated software.
