The ASR-X Pro is organized into a framework of 16 tracks that play an important role in the ASR-X Pro:
¥
When youÕre playing sounds or sampling/resampling in the ASR-X Pro, you can think of each track
as being a container for the sound with which youÕre working.
¥
When youÕre recordingÑor
sequencing
Ñeach track contains a recorded performance, as well as the
sound that plays it.
¥
The ASR-X Pro is a multi-timbral MIDI receiverÑthe 16 tracks correspond to MIDI channels 1-16.
Each track receives MIDI data on its like-numbered channel. You can play a trackÕs sound or record
on a track via MIDI at any time.
¥
Each track transmits MIDI data on its like-numbered channel when it uses a MIDI-OUT sound.
Whenever you do anything in the ASR-X Pro, youÕre always on one or another of these tracks, which is
referred to as Òthe currently selected track.Ó The ASR-X Pro display tells you which track is currently
selectedÑthat is, which track youÕre on.
