Accessories
These optional accessories are available from your Authorized ENSONIQ Dealer:
• OEX-6sr Output Expander — The OEX-6sr gives the ASR-10 six additional outputs, grouped
in three stereo pairs in addition to the built-in stereo outputs. Each WaveSample, or an entire
instrument/track can be assigned to any of the stereo pairs and panned within the stereo field.
• SP-3 SCSI Kit — This SCSI (Small Computer Serial Interface) allows the ASR-10 to
communicate with a hard drive, CD ROM player, or computer. Hard drives provide a faster,
more convenient way to store instrument, sequencer, bank, and MIDI files. The SP-3 must be
installed by an Authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station.
• DI-10 Digital I/O Board (S/PDIF) — Allowing digital input and output using RCA-type
connectors. The DI-10 must be installed by an Authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station.
• Model CVP-1 CV PEDAL — A Control Voltage Foot Pedal which can be assigned as a
modulator within the voice section of the ASR-10 or used as a volume pedal.
• ENSONIQ Model SW-10 Dual Foot Switch — Can be used for hands-free patch select control
(when plugged into the Patch Select jack) or used for modulation control, voice sustain, or
starting, stopping, and continuing the internal sequencer (when plugged into the Foot Switch
jack).
• ENSONIQ Model SW-6 Foot Switch — A single damper piano style foot switch, for sustain,
or to function as the right patch select button.
• CDR Series — These CD ROMs offer a vast array of instruments, banks, and sequence/song
arranged in directories by file types. The CDR Series also features Direct Macros, which
allows instant access (direct-dial) to any instrument file.
• AS –Series Sound Libraries — The AS sound libraries are designed exclusively for the ASR-
10, provided on five High Density disks.
• SL, SLT, and ESS Sound Libraries — The ASR-10 can read all of the disks designed for the
EPS Series. These disks offer the largest, most accurate, responsive, and musical sampled
sounds available anywhere. These sounds are divided into three separate libraries: SL, a
series of five-disk sets featuring sounds specifically designed for the EPS-16 PLUS, but fully
compatible with the ASR-10; SLT, a series of ten-disk packs originally designed by top sound
programmers for the EPS, also compatible with the ASR-10; and ESS, three-disk “Signature
Series” sets designed by renowned industry performers and producers like Joey DeFrancesco,
Jason Miles, Maurice White, The System, Nile Rodgers, David Hentschel, and others.
An Important Note About Non-ENSONIQ Accessories and Your ENSONIQ
Warranty
ENSONIQ highly recommends that users who wish to add SCSI or a Digital I/O Interface to their
ASR-10 use ENSONIQ-made accessories. However, for those who wish to purchase a non-
ENSONIQ product, there are some important things to know about non-ENSONIQ products and
your ASR-10’s warranty:
• ENSONIQ
will not approve any Non-ENSONIQ SCSI kits or Digital I/O Interfaces for the
ASR-10.
• If your ASR-10 requires servicing, and a non-ENSONIQ accessory is installed, ASR-10 owners
will pay a service fee to have it removed so that a technician can diagnose the base unit.
• If it is determined that the use of an unapproved Non-ENSONIQ product caused damage,
then the repair of that damage is not covered by the ENSONIQ warranty. Any non-
ENSONIQ product which requires opening the case must be installed by an Authorized
ENSONIQ Repair Station.
• In addition, if it is found that continued use of a non-ENSONIQ product causes damage to
your ASR-10, any future service that your unit might require may not be covered under the
ENSONIQ warranty.
