Applications
You’ve just taken a mono WaveSample, copied it to another layer, and panned them left and
right to create a stereo sound. If you aren’t hearing both stereo signals, double-click the
Instrument page button (the 00 PATCH= screen is displayed), and make sure both Layers 1 and 2
are selected.

STOP
If not, move the cursor with the Left/Right Arrow buttons and select/deselect the layers with the
Up/Down Arrow buttons. In the above example layers 1, 2, and 3 are selected. Layers 4 through
8 are deselected. Take the time to enjoy your newly created stereo sound.
Tip:
One of the most common tricks to creating a “chorused” effect is to slightly detune each channel
of a stereo WaveSample in equal amounts of positive and negative values. Here’s how to do this
with our newly created stereo example:
• Press the Edit button, and select (same Instrument name) LYR= 1 WS=
1 using the Arrow
buttons as explained above.
• Press the Pitch button and scroll until the display shows ROOT KEY=(key location) FINE=+0.
• Move the cursor (underline) to FINE=
+0 . The cursor should be beneath the fine tune value. If
it’s not, use the Left /Right Arrow buttons to move it there.
• Use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to set the value to FINE=
+5 .
• Press the Edit button, and select (same Instrument name) LYR= 2 WS=
2
• Press the Pitch button. The display still shows ROOT KEY=(key location) FINE=+0.
• Use the Left /Right Arrow buttons to set the value to FINE=
-5 .
For more of a “chorused” effect, set the positive/negative values to a wider range. For less of a
“chorused” effect, set the positive/negative values to a closer range.
Creating Keyboard Cross Fades
We’ll use the Edit/Amp, Volume Modulator Cross Fade Breakpoints to create a keyboard cross
fade. First, create three samples in three layers:
• With a microphone connected to the left Audio Input of the ASR–10, press Sample•Source
Select, set REC SRC= INPUTDRY LEFT, and then pick a sample instrument. Press Enter•Yes
and say “one,” then press Cancel•No to stop sampling. Make the lowest C on the keyboard
the root key for sample “one” in layer 1.
• The next sample will be in a NEW layer. Press Sample•Source Select, then pick the same
sample instrument. Underline LYR=
1 and change that to LYR=
N
. Press Enter•Yes twice.
Say “two.” Press Cancel•No and assign the root key to middle C (two octaves above the
lowest C). That’s sample “two” in layer 2.
• Press Sample•Source Select, then pick the same sample instrument. Underline LYR=
2 and
change that to LYR=
N
. Press Enter•Yes twice, and say, “three” into the microphone. Press
Cancel•No and assign the root key to the C two octaves above middle C. Sample “one” is in
the bottom third of the keyboard. Sample “two” is in the middle third, and sample “three” is
in the top third.
Press the Edit button to get to the Edit Context page. Adjust the parameters in the display so
they read UNNAMED LYR=
1 WS=ALL. Press the Amp button. You are now on the EDIT/Amp
page. Scroll right to VOLUME MOD and adjust the parameters so the display reads VOLUME
MOD=KBD * 0. This selects KBD (keyboard) as the volume modulator. Underline the number in
the display and change it to 99. The display will read VOLUME MOD=KBD * 99. Scroll right to
