Alesis Studio Interface MasterControl Manual De Referência

 

 

 

y

 

Row 2 of the MasterControl is not mapped. 

y

 

Vertical Zoom is not possible from the MasterControl. 

y

 

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. 

y

 

Grouping and ungrouping faders must be done within the Digital Performer software.  This cannot 
be done from the MasterControl. 

 
 

y

 

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

y

 

COMPUTER CONNECTION:  This preset requires you to connect the MasterControl to a 
computer via Firewire, as normal.   

y

 

MIDI CABLE CONNECTIONS:  Using standard MIDI cables, connect the HD24’s MIDI OUT to the 
MasterControl’s 5-pin MIDI IN.  Connect the MasterControl’s 5-pin MIDI OUT to the HD24’s MIDI 
IN.  

y

 

Use a MIDI utility application to route the MasterControl’s: 

o

 

control surface MIDI OUT data out of the 5-pin MIDI OUT port.   

o

 

5-pin MIDI IN data to the control surface’s MIDI IN.    

 

The following illustration shows this routing using the free Windows program MIDI-OX: 
 

 

y

 

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.   

y

 

Ensure that you set the "Send MMC" parameter to "Yes" on the HD24's MIDI01 utility page. 

y

 

This preset allows you to use the transport controls and jog wheel with the HD24.   

o

 

The SELECT buttons exclusively record-arm any one of the HD24’s channels 1-
8.   

o

 

The RECORD buttons exclusively record-arm any one HD24 channel 9-16.  

o

 

The SOLO buttons exclusively record-arm any one HD24 channel 17-24.   

o

 

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).  

y

 

The MasterControl’s SELECT/RECORD/SOLO/MUTE buttons and transport control buttons never 
light.  Additionally, the faders and knobs are not operational. 

y

 

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.
