Use these parameters to set the amount of wave modulation selected with the previous
parameter. The wave modulation amount has two components:
• MOD AMT — This determines the amount of modulation that will be added to the wave
parameter specified in the WAVE MOD TYPE parameter. This parameter has a value range of
-99 to +99, allowing both positive and negative modulation amounts.
• RANGE — This portion of the parameter determines range that will be covered by the MOD
AMT. This range is displayed in sample size. The reason for this is due to the nature of
sampled instruments. Where on a synthesizer you would have waves or oscillators that had a
defined length that was always the same, with samplers the wave size is always different from
instrument to instrument, due to the sample time and rate at which each was sampled. The
MOD AMT has no way of knowing this sample size, so the ASR-10 uses the RANGE to tell it.
Range: 1 Sample to 2 MegaSamples
To determine what size to set the RANGE parameter, go to the SAMPLE END parameter and
look at the Sample End number. This number tells you how large the selected sample is in size.
You can then select the RANGE value that comes closest to the actual size of the sample.
If you were working with a very small sample you would adjust the wave modulation amount to
something like this MOD AMT=+99 RANGE=128. If you were working with a much larger
sample you would adjust the wave modulation to MOD AMT=+99 RANGE=1 MG
(MegaSample). Think of RANGE as a multiplier, and MOD AMT=-99 TO +99 as fine tuning.
