CMD
CONVERT SAMPLE RATE
WAVE
Press Command / Wave / scroll using the arrow buttons
This command effectively resamples a WaveSample at a different sampling rate. You can start
sampling with a high rate, then if you need more memory later, you can convert to a lower
sample rate. The ASR-10 lets you compare these conversions before committing them to
memory. When you convert from a higher to a lower sample rate, it’s like transposing the
WaveSample up the keyboard: you play fewer samples and the sound is shorter. Conversely, a
lower to a higher sample rate has the effect of transposing down the keyboard: the sound gets
bigger, and stretches out.
Range: 48.0 kHZ to 6.25 kHZ.
• Select CONVERT SAMPLE RATE. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads SAMPLE RATE=## KHZ. Use the Data Entry Slider or Up/Down Arrow
buttons to select a new sample rate. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads KEEP=OLD NEW. Press Enter•Yes to complete the command (or
Cancel•No to keep the original).
Note:
When STEREO LAYER LINK= ON, this command will be simultaneously performed on the
corresponding WaveSample in the companion layer.
CMD
TIME COMPRESS/EXPAND
WAVE
Press Command / Wave / scroll using the arrow buttons
The TIME COMPRESS/EXPAND command shortens or lengthens the WaveSample duration,
without affecting pitch. This is useful for “stetching” a WaveSample to fit a particular tempo, for
example. To use this command:
• Press the Enter•Yes button after choosing a WaveSample to be edited. The display shows:
AMOUNT=100.00 PERCENT
CMD
STOP
WAVE
Range: 50 to 250
Values less than 100 shorten the duration, and values greater than 100 lengthen the duration.
• Press Enter•Yes , or scrolling right will display the QUALITY screen:
QUALITY = 99
CMD
STOP
WAVE
Range: 0 to 99
Higher values offer better fidelity on the compressed/expanded WaveSample, however, it takes
longer to process this command.
Tip:
Set the QUALITY parameter to 0 (or a low level) when checking the duration time for your
particular application. This allows you to quickly verify that the time duration is correct, because
it takes the least amount of time to process the data. When you know the exact duration amount,
set the QUALITY parameter to 99, for the best fidelity.
