A sequenceÕs global reverb can be selected in the same way as its insert effect (press the Effects Select
button a second time to view the global reverb selection page). The ASR-X Pro effects provide a wide
selection of parameters that let you get each effect sounding just the way you want it toÑthese
parameters can be accessed by pressing the Effects Edit button, selecting the appropriate question and
pressing the Yes button.
Effect selection and editing is described in Chapter 4 of the ASR-X Pro Reference Manual. For a listing of
the insert effects and their parameters, see ÒInsert Effect ParametersÓ later in the UserÕs Guide.

The ASR-X Pro captures audio using a process called
sampling
, which is another term for digital
recording. When you sample in the ASR-X Pro, you create a wave, or if youÕve sampled in stereo, a pair
of waves. The ASR-X Pro creates a sound based on each wave (or pair of waves) you create, and when
you play that sound, you play the wave.
The ASR-X Pro can sample audio that you feed it through its rear-panel Audio Input jacks, or it can
resample
sounds and sequences from the ASR-X Pro itselfÑor both sources at once. In addition, you can
set up the ASR-X Pro to automatically begin sampling when it ÒhearsÓ audioÑa feature weÕll try out in
the following tutorial.

The techniques for sampling and resampling are the sameÑthe only difference is the source
of the audio being sampled.

Remember that youÕre always on a track in the ASR-X Pro. This is even true when you sample or
resample. So that we donÕt get in the way of the tracks weÕve recorded, letÕs select an unused track to
begin.

Press the right-hand Select Track button to select Track 3.
