MIDI Song Selects

Song Position Pointers
The ASR-10 sends and receives Song Position Pointers via MIDI. Song Position Pointers are MIDI
commands that tell a sequencer or drum machine where to locate within a song or sequence.
When the ASR-10 receives a Song Position Pointer, it will locate to the appropriate place in the
selected song or sequence.
The ASR-10 sends a Song Position Pointer over MIDI whenever you use the Auto-Locate control
(the GOTO function on the Edit/Seq•Song page). Any receiving unit which recognizes Song
Position Pointers will locate to the same spot. (Not all devices recognize Song Position Pointers.
Consult the manual of any other sequencing device you are using to see if it does.)
MIDI Song Selects
MIDI Song Selects allow a sequencer such as the ASR-10 to instruct a remote sequencer or drum
machine to select a new song. The song can be assigned a MIDI Song Select number from 0
through 127. MIDI Song Select numbers 0 through 127 are transmitted via MIDI when you load a
new song into the ASR-10, or when the currently loaded song is selected. The MIDI SONG
SELECT parameter (on the Edit/System•MIDI page) must be set to “ON” for this to work.
The SEQUENCER INFORMATION parameter on the Command/Seq•Song page allows you to
set the MIDI SONG SELECT number that will be sent whenever the song is selected. MIDI Song
Select numbers are stored with the song when you save the song to disk.
