Edit/System•MIDI Parameters

EDIT
MIDI SYS-EX (ON/OFF)
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Edit / System•MIDI / scroll using the arrow buttons
This parameter determines whether the ASR-10 will send and receive MIDI System Exclusive
messages, such as remote programming instructions or WaveSample dumps. When OFF, the
ASR-10 will neither transmit nor receive System Exclusive messages.
Note:
This parameter does not have to be ON for the ASR-10 to record and store Sys-Ex messages from
external devices using the MIDI SYS-EX RECORDER function on the Command/System•MIDI
page.
EDIT
MIDI PROG CHANGE (ON/OFF)
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Edit / System•MIDI / 8
This parameter enables (ON) or disables (OFF) ASR-10 reception of program changes via MIDI
(the default is ON).
To Send a MIDI Program Change from the ASR-10:
• Hold down an Instrument•Sequence Track button.
• While holding down the Instrument•Sequence Track button, “type in” the number (from 1-128)
of the desired program change on the numeric keypad buttons of the ASR-10; then
• Release the Instrument•Sequence Track button. When the button is released, the program
change is sent.
If the ASR-10 has been set to TRANSMIT ON= INST CHAN, the program change will be sent on
the MIDI channel of the instrument whose button you held down while typing in the number. If
it is set to TRANSMIT ON= BASE CHAN, the program change will always be sent on the base
channel.
MIDI program changes can also be sent by setting TRANSMIT ON=INST CHAN and then
editing the Edit/Instrument, MIDI OUT PROGRAM value.
When Instrument•Sequence Tracks are selected in solid LOAD mode, the ASR-10 will transmit
the MIDI OUT PROGRAM number for the selected Instrument•Sequence Track(s).
Receiving Program Changes
What the ASR-10 does when it receives a program change depends on the current MIDI IN
MODE.
If the MIDI IN MODE = OMNI, POLY, or MONO A, incoming program changes 1-24 will
Select, Deselect, or Stack the eight Instrument•Sequence Tracks of the ASR-10 in the following
fashion:
• Program changes 1-8 will Select ASR-10 Instruments 1-8 (center yellow LED will light), if
received by an instrument which is not selected.
• Program changes 1-8 will Deselect Instruments 1-8 (center yellow LED will go out), if received
by an instrument which is already selected.
• Program changes 9-16 will Stack Instruments 1-8 (center yellow LED will flash).
• Also, program changes 17-24 will select Performance Presets 1-8.
If the MIDI IN MODE = MULTI or MONO B, incoming program changes are used to load
Instruments as well as Banks into Instrument•Sequence Track locations and to enter and exit
directories. To load a given file into an Instrument•Sequence Track location, press the Load
