Digital Performer; Alesis Hd24 / Hd24Xr - Alesis Studio Interface MasterControl Reference Manual

DIGITAL PERFORMER

Row 2 of the MasterControl is not mapped.
Vertical Zoom is not possible from the MasterControl.
MasterControl's ZOOM button cycles through three stages (as opposed to two on most other
DAWs): unlit, lit, and flashing. It will be lit when it is on and unlit when it is off. When the button is
flashing, no zoom functions are possible using the cursor buttons.
Grouping and ungrouping faders must be done within the Digital Performer software. This cannot
be done from the MasterControl.

This preset allows one-way control from the MasterControl to an Alesis HD24 or HD24XR.

MIDI CABLE CONNECTIONS: Using standard MIDI cables, connect the HD24's MIDI OUT to the

The following illustration shows this routing using the free Windows program MIDI-OX:
Ensure that your MIDI utility application is set to pass SysEx information in both directions. If you
are using MIDI-OX, enable its Pass SysEx feature from the bottom of the Options pull-down menu.
Ensure that you set the "Send MMC" parameter to "Yes" on the HD24's MIDI01 utility page.
This preset allows you to use the transport controls and jog wheel with the HD24.

The MasterControl's SELECT/RECORD/SOLO/MUTE buttons and transport control buttons never
light. Additionally, the faders and knobs are not operational.
Via this preset, the HD24 does not respond to disarm messages but rather only to a master
message setting the REC ARM status of all 24 tracks at once. So, for example, if you have record
enabled tracks 1-8 and you want to "disarm" tracks 1-4, issue a command to "REC ARM 5-8". That
will disarm all other tracks except for 5-8, including tracks 1-4. Press EDIT to choose various
options for the ASSIGNABLE buttons to arm and disarm multiple specific tracks.
This preset requires you to connect the MasterControl to a
control surface MIDI OUT data out of the 5-pin MIDI OUT port.
5-pin MIDI IN data to the control surface's MIDI IN.
The SELECT buttons exclusively record-arm any one of the HD24's channels 1-
8.
The RECORD buttons exclusively record-arm any one HD24 channel 9-16.
The SOLO buttons exclusively record-arm any one HD24 channel 17-24.
The MUTE buttons record-arms pairs of channels (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12,
13-14, or 15-16).
