Song Tracks
A song on the ASR-10 is much more than simply a group of sequences chained together. Once
you have created a song and edited its steps, you can record another complete set of 8 song-
length tracks. The length of the song tracks is determined by the combined length of the song’s
component sequences.
Recording Song Tracks
Let’s suppose you have constructed a song. For our example we will take a simple case:
• You have recorded three sequences, each using five tracks, and combined them into a song.
• Step one of the song is Sequence 01 (a 4-bar sequence) for 1 repetition;
• Step two is Sequence 02 (an 8-bar sequence) for 1 repetition; and
• Step three is Sequence 03 (a 4-bar sequence) for 1 repetition.
Your song would look like this:
Sequence 01: 4 bars
Sequence 02: 8 bars
Sequence 03: 4 bars
