Stereo Sampling
The ASR-10 offers true stereo sampling, through Effects if desired. The ASR-10 also allows real
time stereo resampling of notes played on the keyboard, or received via MIDI. Here’s how to
sample in stereo:
• Press the Sample•Source Select button. The display shows:
REC SRC=INPUTDRY L+R
When only one Audio Track is Selected, holding one Audio Track button and pressing the other
one will change the REC SRC Field 2 value to L+R (as shown above), selecting both Audio Tracks
and enabling stereo sampling. The Audio Track button that is held (i.e. pressed first) will become
Solidly-Selected, and the other track will become Flashing-Selected. Now both Audio Tracks will
operate as a paired (stereo) unit.
Tip:
You can also use the Data Entry controls to select both Audio Tracks (L & R). ATRK-A (Audio
Track A) will become Solidly-Selected, and ATRK-B (Audio Track B) will become Flashing-
Selected.
Once you’ve selected the Record Source field values for your signal source, press either an
Instrument button (the recommended way to select a destination Instrument) or press the
Enter•Yes button. If the Enter•Yes button is pressed, the display will ask:
PICK SAMPLE INSTRUMENT
• Press an unused (no left red LED lit) Instrument•Sequence Track button. The ASR-10 goes
into Level-Detect (or VU) mode:
Input signal level
Sampling Threshold
Level-Detect
(or VU) Mode:
In this mode, when recording in stereo, the VU meter will monitor the louder of the two channels
signals. Once you have the level adjusted:
• Press Enter•Yes or press the Left Foot Switch to initiate sampling. The display will show
WAITING… until the threshold is exceeded. The AMP annunciator will light if the Input
Source clips. During sampling the display shows:
RECORDING xxx SEC LEFT
The xxx value (range 000 to 999) will count down in real time when sampling. Press any button
to stop sampling. Remember that if the sampling threshold (the star) is set higher than the input
signal level (the vertical bars), the ASR-10 will not begin sampling until the input signal crosses
the threshold. Pressing Cancel•No while the sampling screen reads WAITING will abort
sampling, and the ASR-10 will return to Level-Detect mode.
