When PRESSURE MODE=CHAN:
• Local voices played from the ASR-10 keyboard will respond to channel pressure only.
• The sequencer will record channel pressure into any tracks you record.
• The sequencer will play back any channel pressure messages recorded on the track, and will
ignore any key pressure on the track.
• The ASR-10 keyboard will only transmit channel pressure out via MIDI, however.
• Either channel pressure or key pressure will be received via MIDI.
Note:
When SEQ REC SOURCE = MULTI on the Edit/Seq•Song page, the ASR-10 sequencer will
always record both channel and key pressure (received via MIDI), no matter what the PRESSURE
MODE parameter is set to.
At present, channel pressure is recognized by more MIDI devices than key pressure. If you are
playing or sequencing an external MIDI device from the ASR-10 and pressure doesn’t seem to
have an effect, it could be the ASR-10 is set to transmit key pressure and the receiving instrument
only recognizes channel pressure. In this case, set this parameter to PRESSURE MODE= CHAN
when playing or sequencing that instrument.

Press Edit / Instrument / 6
This parameter will determine whether the instrument will play LOCALLY (only on the ASR-10),
or via MIDI, or BOTH. There are four possible settings:
• BOTH — The instrument will be played locally and will transmit via MIDI when the
instrument is played from the keyboard or the sequencer. In addition, incoming MIDI will
play internal voices.
• LOCAL — The instrument will only play local (internal) voices, and will not transmit via
MIDI. Incoming MIDI will also play local voices.
• MIDI — Keys, controllers, etc. will be transmitted via MIDI when the instrument is played
from the keyboard or the sequencer. The keyboard or the sequencer will not play ASR-10
voices at all. However, incoming MIDI will play internal voices. This is comparable to Local
Off on some keyboards. Use this status when you want to create MIDI-only instruments for
playing or sequencing Remote MIDI Devices.
• EXT — This mode is similar to MIDI, except that incoming MIDI will not play internal voices.
Note:
These settings are in effect only when TRANSMIT ON=INST CHANNEL on the
Edit/System•MIDI page.
