A Offsetting Adats - Alesis BRC Reference Manual

Likewise, when the TAPE OFFSET button is turned off, the ADATs
that had been offset do not locate back to the current BRC position
until play mode is entered or a locate point is recalled.

4.5A Offsetting ADATs

Offset amounts are always displayed in reference to the BRC's tape
location, which is based on the timecode on tape #1. However, you
may choose which mode the offsets shall be displayed and edited in.
Using the Counter Offset mode, you can specify offsets in Normal
time, SMPTE time or Bars/beats depending on the Display Type you
have selected (see section 1.4C). Using the Locate Offset mode, you can
specify offsets using any of the 22 locate points you have created in
the current song (see section 4.1C). For example, if Locate 01 is set to
00:45:00 and Locate 02 is set to 01:20:00, then offsetting tape #2 from
Locate 01 to Locate 02 means that when the BRC and all other non-
offset tapes are at Locate 01's position, tape #2 will be at Locate 02's
position. This would be identical to setting tape #2 to a Counter Offset
of 00:35:00.
To set the tape offsets:
1. Press the EDIT button (the EDIT button LED will go on to indicate
you are in Edit mode);
2. Press the TAPE OFFSET button;
The display will read one of the following:
C ounter Offset
L ocate Offsets
3. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the Offset Mode: Counter,
Locate or Continuous (for more information on Continuous
mode, see section 4.5B below);
Note: If there is only one ADAT connected, Continuous mode will
not be selectable.
