Tracks and their sounds are heard through one of their sequenceÕs effects when theyÕve been assigned to
an
effect bus
, which routes the track to the effect you want. Each track has a parameter for this purpose.
LetÕs change the effect through which weÕre hearing our bass.
1.
Locate the Track Edit button.
2.
Press the Track Edit button until the display shows:
¦02 BuzzSawBass
FX Bus= LightReverb
i
The currently selected effect bus
The FX Bus parameter assigns the selected track to an effect bus, and therefore, an effect. The values
available for this parameter vary slightly, depending on what kind of sound is on the selected track,
and whether or not youÕve added an X-8 output expander to your ASR-X Pro. You can select:
¥
ProgÑto retain each noteÕs individual effect bus in a kit sound. When a standard sound is on
the selected track, this setting causes the sound to use its Alt Bus setting, described in Chapter 4
of the ASR-X Pro Reference Manual.
¥
InsertÑto route the selected track and its sound to the sequenceÕs insert effect.
¥
LightReverbÑto apply a small amount of reverb to the trackÕs sound.
¥
MediumReverbÑto apply an average amount of reverb to the trackÕs sound.
¥
WetReverbÑto apply a large amount of reverb to the trackÕs sound.
¥
DryÑto leave the trackÕs sound un-effected.
¥
AuxOut1-4Ñto send the trackÕs sound out of one of the auxiliary output jacks provided by an
X-8 output expander. These values are only available when an output expander is installed.
3.
Turn the Value knob to set the FX Bus parameter to each of the available settings, playing a few
notes on the pads with each setting to hear how the bass sound changes.
4.
Set the FX Bus parameter to ÒInsert.Ó
