The First Hard Disk Recorder Worthy of the Name ADAT

29. Is there ABS and relative time?
ABS and relative times do exist on the HD24. ABS time is always 0 for the start of a song, but
this is user definable (for example, to match a location on tape-based ADATs in the same sys-
tem). All locate, punch and edit points will be automatically recalculated from the ABS time to
display the new relative time (i.e., the points stay in the same place relative to audio…they're just
numbered differently).
30. How many locate points are there in memory?
Each song has 25 locate points associated with it (zero, plus 20 standard points, 2 punch points,
and 2 edit points). Seven of these may be accessed directly from the front panel. And, there can
be 64 songs available on a drive, for a total of 1600 location points. All of these are
automatically stored and retrieved with the song.
31. Can I set locate points on the fly?
You bet. Locate points may be set "on the fly" by pressing the Set Locate button. As on the BRC,
the new locate point will automatically be written to the next locate point.
32. Can I assign names to locate points so I can find my way around?
Yes. This works just like the Alesis BRC: each locate point has an 8-character name you can
enter yourself, or simply choose from a list of preset names ("Verse 1", "Chorus 1", "Solo" etc.)
with a single button push.
33. Is there a scrub function to fine-tune locate points?
The HD24 can scrub all tracks of audio for a given song. When stopped, the user can press and
hold the Stop button, followed by the FastFwd or Rewind keys to scrub any or all tracks. (Other
remote scrubbing from wheels on a MIDI controller or the M20/CADI, is not supported.) Or,
you can trim a point numerically in the display, second by second, frame by frame, until it sounds
right.
34. Can I punch in/out across all 24 tracks?
Yes, the HD24 can support punching in on all 24 tracks simultaneously.
35. Can I punch in/out on the fly using the track arming buttons?
The HD24 does not currently allow the user to punch in/out using the track arming buttons. All
tracks that the user desires to punch in on must be set prior to pressing Rec+Play.
36. How many different songs can exist on a drive at a time?
