CADI REMOTE CONTROL
The CADI (Controller/Autolocator Desktop Interface) remote control is a centralized
control surface designed exclusively for controlling up to eight Alesis M20 digital
multitrack tape recorders. The CADI essentially duplicates the front panel of the master
M20 (identified as ID1), and adds controls specific to multi-machine applications.
Most of the CADI controls operate bi-directionally. Example: if you press a record button on
an M20 controlled by the CADI, the corresponding CADI record button will light, and viceversa. However, Alesis recommends performing all commands directly from the CADI
unless a machine is offline. Offline machines operate independently of the CADI.
In general, CADI buttons initiate the same operations as like-named buttons on the master
M20. For example, pressing Stop on the CADI is equivalent to pressing Stop on the master
M20. Therefore, this document covers only those aspects unique to the CADI and should
be inserted into the binder with the M20 manual.
