EDIT
SEQ
STOP
This is displayed when you press Stop•Continue to stop
sequencer playback, and it means that the selected SCSI
storage device is not keeping up during audio playback.
This could be due to one or more of the following:
Within the Command/System•MIDI, CONFIGURE AUDIO
TRACKS command:
• SCSI BUFFERS too small
• SCSI ACCESS SPEED too slow
Problems relating to the External SCSI storage device:
• disk access time too slow
• disk seek time too slow
• disk drive not smart about caching
• disk drive SCSI interface too slow
• disk fragmented
You can continue to use the sequencer even though this
message appeared, because it is possible that some
problems can be detected but not heard. If you see this
message but didn’t hear a problem, you might want to
consider reconfiguring the Audio Tracks (using the
Command/System•MIDI, CONFIGURE AUDIO TRACKS
command) with larger SCSI BUFFERS and a slightly faster
SCSI ACCESS SPEED. If you hear glitching of the Audio
Tracks during playback, you should definitely look for this
message when you press Stop•Continue. Note that this
message does not appear in Audition Play.
EDIT
STOP
TRACK
If the Edit/(audio) Track, ASMPLNAME=*UNDEFINED*,
or if no AudioSamples exist, this will be displayed when
any AUDIOSAMPLE command is invoked.
Go to the ASMPLNAME parameter and use the Up/Down
Arrow buttons to choose a target AudioSample before
invoking the Command.
EDIT
SEQ
STOP
SONG
This message appears when you try to record Song Audio
Tracks in a song made up of sequences containing
different Tempos and Time Signatures. Song Audio
Tracks can only be recorded in songs made up of
sequences of like tempos and time signatures.
EDIT
SEQ
PLAY
When auditioning a DiskTrack recording, you cannot
dynamically switch between OLD and NEW on the
Audition page while the sequencer is in play. If you try,
you will get this message.
CMD
SYSTEM
STOP
The REC SCSI DEVICE selected in the CONFIGURE
AUDIO TRACK command is no longer connected. The
ASR-10 will be configured for ATRK PLAY/REC=SCSI, but
REC SCSI DRIVE=NONE (i.e. SCSI playback only) and
Buffers have been allocated.
Check your SCSI connections. If your SCSI storage
device has a changeable ID number, make sure it matches
the SCSI Device ID number you have chosen in the
CONFIGURE AUDIO TRACK command.
CMD
SYSTEM
STOP
The SCSI BUFFERS size selected in the CONFIGURE
AUDIO TRACKS command is too large to fit in available
RAM. After this message is displayed, the ASR-10 Audio
Track configuration will be left unchanged. Choose a
smaller value and try again.
