Alesis ALESIS M20 Midi Thru, NEW Utility page Order, Cadi Display Changes, Cassette AUTO-INJECT

M20 Software Version 2

MIDI THRU

“Soft” MIDI Thru (automatically echoing non-F0 commands) is now defeated in order to accommodate a MIDI closed loop more effectively.

NEW UTILITY PAGE ORDER

The Utility menu page order in version 2.00 has changed as follows:

CADI DISPLAY CHANGES

∙Machine-specific Utility pages 21 (Tape Type), 23 (User Bits), 24 (Error Rate), 25 (Front Panel), and 26 (Main) now indicate “See Local” in the CADI display.

∙When the master M20 (ID 1) parks at a locate point before other slaves have completed the locate, the CADI now continues to indicate a locate in progress by flashing the Locate or Locate 0 buttons. The stop is also lit solid to indicate the master is stopped.

∙The CADI now displays the more general “Select digital src trks” message when routing digital input, since a system can have several M20s with various digital input sources.

Version 2.10 Features

CASSETTE AUTO-INJECT

The M20 now has an inject command. When a cassette is partially inserted (as is the case when a cassette remains in the transport door after an eject command), it is possible to remotely load the cassette into the transport by pressing the Peak Mode and Eject buttons simultaneously. Auto-Inject works from the M20’s front panel or from the CADI.
