Alesis BRC - D LED Indicators; E EDIT Button

the ABSOLUTE and RELATIVE LEDs will both be off. This is because
when the Display Type is set to SMPTE, the counter is referenced to
the SMPTE Start Offset (see section 5.0B) you have chosen to
represent the start position of the current song (see section 4.6A).
When the Display Type is set to BARS, the counter is referenced to
bar 1, which is the start position of the current song. Therefore, these
two Display Types are always in a “Relative” mode. The Bars counter
is also referenced to the tempo you have set in the TEMPO MAP (see
section 5.1).
1.4D LED Indicators
In addition to specific LED indicators (such as those that indicate
when a track is record-enabled), several switches have built-in LEDs.
These are referred to as toggle function buttons. When a toggle
function button’s LED is on, it either means it has been activated, or it
has been selected for editing (if the EDIT button LED is also lit).
1.4E EDIT Button
The EDIT button (located to the right of the GEN SYNC button) is
labeled in blue ink to differentiate it from the other toggle buttons
around it. It is used to display and edit the currently stored value(s)
for the toggle function buttons, which are: AUTO-PUNCH, PRE-
ROLL, POST-ROLL, LOOP, TAPE OFFSET, TRACK DELAY TIME,
DIGITAL I/O, FORMAT, EXT SYNC and GEN SYNC. These buttons
(with the exception of EXT SYNC and FORMAT) are grouped
together with the EDIT button, and are used by themselves to toggle
their associated function on and off. The value(s) associated with a
toggle button function can be accessed for viewing and edited by
pressing the EDIT button followed by the desired button.
• When the EDIT button is pressed for the first time, its LED will
light and the display will read:
Select function to
edit
You are now in edit mode. You can view and edit the currently stored
value(s) of the functions within an edit group by pressing the desired
toggle function button.
• As long as the user is in edit mode (EDIT LED lit), pressing a toggle
function button will display the currently stored value(s) for that
function and will not toggle the function on and off.
