Resampling Audio Track Playback
If you are configured for ATRK PLAY/REC=SCSI, and you enter sampling (i.e. get to the VU
page), the ASR-10 automatically reconfigures ATRK PLAY/REC=RAM. This eliminates the SCSI
BUFFERS in RAM, allowing for the maximum amount of sample RAM. This also prevents
sampling of DiskTrack playback, but DiskTrack data is usually too large to fit into sample RAM
anyway. You can still sample RAMTrack playback.
Tip:
Resampling RAMTrack playback (with Sample•Source Select, REC SRC=MAIN-OUT) allows
you to convert part or all of a RAMTrack into a WaveSample, through effects if desired. By
performing this, you will be able to process the RAMTrack AudioSample data with the
WaveSample commands. You can then truncate, normalize, loop, reverse, pitch correct, etc., and
then either sequence with the new WaveSample(s), or re-record them back to Audio Tracks with
REC SRC=MAIN-OUT. The sky’s the limit!
Tip:
Resample RAMTrack playback for one-finger triggering of an entire stereo Audio Track mix. If
you then play the original sequence, and play the key that triggers the sample of the sequence at
the same time, you can create a chorusing/flanging effect. To set the chorus/flange delay time,
move the pitch wheel slightly up or down while holding down the key to get ahead of or behind
the sequence playback; when you find the proper relationship, let go of the pitch wheel, and the
chorus/flange effect will remain.
How to disable Audio Track recording and playback
1. Press Command, then System•MIDI, and use the Data Entry Controls to select the
CONFIGURE AUDIO TRACKS command:
CMD
SYSTEM
STOP
2. On this page, press the Enter•Yes button, and use the Down Arrow button to set ATRK
PLAY/REC=OFF:
CMD
SYSTEM
STOP
When ATRK PLAY/REC=OFF, entering record with an Audio Track solidly selected will
record on the flashing selected Instrument•Sequence Track, not the solidly selected Audio
Track. If no Instrument•Sequence Tracks are selected when Record is entered, the last
selected Instrument•Sequence Track will automatically become flashing-selected.
3. Pressing Enter•Yes from the above screen will execute the command.
