ALESIS M20 REFERENCE MANUAL 1.06 12-1
CHAPTER 12
MIDI FUNCTIONS
There are seven pages of MIDI functions. Pressing the MIDI button cycles through the pages
in order.
12.1 MIDI DEVICE (PAGE 1)
Selects the M20’s device ID (1—127 or All) so that MIDI Machine Control systems with
multiple M20s can address them separately. Selecting All means that M20s respond to all
incoming MIDI messages. Default ID = 000.
Use the Up/Down buttons or number keys to enter the desired ID. To enter All, scroll past
127, or enter any number greater than 127.
12.2 MMC OUTPUT (PAGE 2)
Enables or disables the M20 from transmitting MIDI Machine Control commands from the
MIDI output. Default is Off.
Use the Up/Down buttons to choose on or off.
12.3 MTC FOLLOW GEN (PAGE 3)
Sets whether MTC (MIDI Time Code) will be generated simultaneously with SMPTE. Default
is Off.
Use the Up/Down buttons to choose on or off.
12.4 SEND SYSEX DUMP? (PAGE 4)
Sends the current setup information (as MIDI system exclusive data) via the MIDI Out port.
Setup information includes all data currently in the unit such as locate point names and
addresses, track delays, tape offsets etc. Sending a Sysex dump to the input of another M20
gives it the same setup as the transmitting M20. This data can also be saved to a storage
device (Alesis Data Disk, sequencer program, etc.) to store specific setups for later recall.
