Section 10 — Wave Data Parameters
Edit/Wave Page
1
This section covers the parameters and commands that relate directly to the wave data, including
sample length, playback direction, volume commands, and looping. For an overview of the
WaveSample Programming concepts, refer to the previous section.
Edit/Wave Page
The parameters on this page control all the WaveSample pointers such as sample start, sample
end, loop points, etc. Also on this page, you can choose the playback mode and set up
modulation of the sample start and/or loop position.
EDIT
MODE (WS Playback Mode)
WAVE
Press Edit / Wave / 0
This parameter allows you to select one of five possible WaveSample playback modes.
• FORWARD-NO LOOP — The ASR-10 plays through the WaveSample once, from sample start
to sample end.
• BACKWARD-NO LOOP — The ASR-10 plays through the WaveSample once, only in reverse,
from sample end to sample start.
• LOOP FORWARD — The ASR-10 will play forward from sample start to loop end and return
to loop start and will continue playing the loop while the key is depressed. Once the key is
released the loop continues playing as the WaveSample envelopes away.
• LOOP BIDIRECTION — The ASR-10 will play forward from sample start. At loop end, the
ASR-10 will play the WaveSample in reverse to the loop start, playing the loop section back
and forth until the key is released.
• LOOP AND RELEASE — The ASR-10 will play forward from sample start and will continue
playing the loop while the key is depressed. As soon as the key is released the ASR-10 will go
into release mode from wherever it is and will keep playing until the end of the WaveSample,
playing data after the loop. LOOP AND RELEASE works in conjunction with Envelope 3,
which needs to have its MODE parameter set to FINISH and its time and level values adjusted
properly.
EDIT
SMPL START
WAVE
Press Edit / Wave / 1
This parameter allows you to set the sample start point. To conserve memory, it’s a good idea to
move the Sample Start and Sample End to eliminate any “dead space” at beginning or end, and
then truncate the WaveSample using the TRUNCATE WAVESAMPLE command on the
Command/Wave page (later in this section).
When the SAMPLE START or SAMPLE END parameters are displayed on the Edit/Wave page
there are two ways to adjust them — you can move in large steps by adjusting the percent setting,
or move one sample at a time by choosing the fine adjust.
Location in percent of entire wavesample (coarse adjust)
Sample Start Number (fine adjust)
EDIT
WAVE
The Coarse Adjust reading is the one in parentheses. Changing this value will move the Sample
Start in steps of one percent of the entire WaveSample. Use the Data Entry Slider or the
Up/Down Arrow buttons to move the Sample Start ahead until the dead space is gone when you
play.
