The IF-AD/DM option card provides lightpipe I/O and an ADAT sync jack. ADAT sync is not operational in this version of firmware. This feature will be implemented in a future version of firmware. When ADAT sync is implemented, transports, track arming and jog/shuttle capabilities will available. ADAT ABS code cannot be used to trigger the DM-24's internal automation. A device that converts ADAT ABS to MTC or SMPTE will be necessary. The Alesis BRC, MOTU MTP-AV and JL Cooper dataSync2 are good examples of such a device. These devices will also allow ADATs to recognize MMC commands, making ADAT sync unnecessary. MIDI The DM-24 features MIDI In, Out and Thru. This allows you to: • Send MMC and MTC • Lock to incoming MTC • Update the firmware of the DM-24 with Standard MIDI File • Offload and upload library and automation data • Send and receive MIDI program changes • Send and receive MIDI controller data On channels 1-32 you can program a different MIDI channel and MIDI controller number for the fader, mute key and pan knob. On the master layer you can do this for faders and mutes only. This allows the DM-24 to control other devices or other devices to control the DM-24 via MIDI. Again, this uses the "audio faders." There is another separate layer called "MIDI MIXERS" that allows the same kind of control "with out" effecting the "audio fader" levels. When this layer is activated you can assign a MIDI channel and a controller number to the fader, pan and mute on the master layer. The MASTER layer status key will blink when this active fader layer is viewed to let you know that you are not viewing the audio faders. 11

ADAT
sync is not operational in this version of firmware.
This feature will be
implemented in a future version of firmware.
When ADAT sync is implemented,
transports, track arming and jog/shuttle capabilities will available.
ADAT ABS
code cannot be used to trigger the DM-24’s internal automation.
A device that
converts ADAT ABS to MTC or SMPTE will be necessary.
The Alesis BRC,
MOTU MTP-AV and JL Cooper dataSync2 are good examples of such a device.
These devices will also allow ADATs to recognize MMC commands, making
ADAT sync unnecessary.
MIDI
The DM-24 features MIDI In, Out and Thru.
This allows you to:
•
Send MMC and MTC
•
Lock to incoming MTC
•
Update the firmware of the DM-24 with Standard MIDI File
•
Offload and upload library and automation data
•
Send and receive MIDI program changes
•
Send and receive MIDI controller data
On channels 1-32 you can program a different MIDI channel and MIDI controller
number for the fader, mute key and pan knob.
On the master layer you can do
this for faders and mutes only.
This allows the DM-24 to control other devices or
other devices to control the DM-24 via MIDI.
Again, this uses the “audio faders.”
There is another separate layer called “MIDI MIXERS” that allows the same kind
of control “with out” effecting the “audio fader” levels.
When this layer is
activated you can assign a MIDI channel and a controller number to the fader,
pan and mute on the master layer.
The MASTER layer status key will blink when
this active fader layer is viewed to let you know that you are not viewing the
