LAYER GLIDETIME

Press Edit / Layer / 1
Use this parameter to set the speed of the glide between notes. Lower values yield a faster glide;
higher numbers, a slower glide.
Range: 0 to 99

The legato layer is an ENSONIQ innovation that enables the ASR-10 to capture the elusive
nuances of acoustic instruments. The sound of a wind instrument, the flute for example, is
different when it is “tongued” than when notes are played in a connected manner (called legato).
When two notes are “slurred” or “trilled” the characteristic attack of the second note is
not
present. The ASR-10 allows a simulation of this effect when used with one of the glide modes.
The rules for glide, described above, determine when two notes will be connected. The glide
time determines how fast it will get to the new note. The legato layer parameter selects which
layer, and therefore what sound, will play on the new note.
For example, suppose that layer one is a flute sample with a tongued attack, and layer two is a
flute sustain without any attack. To use this function:
On the Edit/Instrument page:
• Enable both layer 1 and layer 2 in the patch. The display reads 00 PATCH=1 2 - - - - - -.
• Scroll right, enable layer 1, the attack, as a keydown layer. Disable layer two as a keydown
layer. The display reads KEYDWN LAYERS=1 - - - - - - -.
On the Edit/Layer page for layer 1:
• Set GLIDEMODE=LEGATO.
• Set LEGATO layer=2.
• Adjust GLIDETIME as you see fit.
If a key is depressed before another is released, the new note will play the WaveSample in the
Legato layer (layer 2).
