Utility Menu, Chapter 13
13-2 ALESIS M20 REFERENCE MANUAL 1.06
When enabled (Online = LED lit), the machine responds to commands from the selected
Online Source. Local control may be allowed or ignored, as set on Utility Page 3 (section
13.3).
When disabled (Offline = LED off), the machine ignores commands from the selected Online
Source.
Note: Certain user parameters are not editable when a machine is online, and only some parameters
may be edited regardless of online status. The relevant parameters are duplicated and stored in 2
groups. One group is used when the machine is online, and the other when the machine is offline.
13.2B INDEPENDENT SLAVE MODE
A slave machine will always respond to front panel transport button presses (subject to the
local/remote setting on Utility Page 3, section 13.3), regardless of whether it is online or
offline.
13.3 ONLINE CONTROL (PAGE 3)
Chooses whether local control is also available if a remote control source is selected.
Procedure: Use the Up/Down buttons (or keypad buttons 0 and 1) to choose between the
following:
Local/Remote (default). Receives control commands from front panel and LRC as well as the
selected online source.
Remote. Allows control only from the selected remote source. There is no local control from
any button on the front panel other than to disable the Online function.
13.4 ONE-BUTTON RECORD (PAGE 4)
With One-Button Record off, it is necessary to press both Play and Record to initiate
recording. With One-Button Record on, simply pressing Record initiates recording.
Procedure: Use the Up/Down buttons to turn One-Button Record on or off.
13.5 INPUT MONITOR (PAGE 5)
Determines whether the analog input is monitored directly from the inputs or through the
A/D and D/A converters.
Procedure: Use the Up/Down buttons to choose between the following:
ADC/DAC (default). The analog input is monitored after going through the A/D and D/A
converters. Monitoring through the converters adds a very slight bit of latency
(approximately 600 µseconds), but accurately reflects any changes to the signal that occur
from the conversion process.
Direct. The analog input is monitored directly from the inputs without going through digital
conversion.
