System•MIDI Commands
CMD
SAVE GLOBAL PARAMETERS
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Command / System•MIDI / 2
The SAVE GLOBAL PARAMETERS Command saves the settings for the following parameters:
• All Edit/System•MIDI parameters
• All Sample•Source Select parameters
• The current FX Select•FX Bypass page setting
• All Edit (audio) Track parameter settings
• The MULTI-IN MIDI CHAN settings on the Edit/Track page
• The Edit/Seq•Song CLOCK SOURCE, CLICK settings, and SEQ COUNTOFF mode
• The Source Monitor status for the audio tracks
These parameters are global to the ASR-10 and are not saved with the instruments, sequences, or
banks. For example, if you have a firm playing style, it would be convenient to set the ASR-10
always to respond to your particular playing style. You would set TOUCH=FIRM 4 on the
Edit/System•MIDI page, then perform the SAVE GLOBAL PARAMETERS command to a disk
containing the current Operating System.
• Select SAVE GLOBAL PARAMETERS. Make sure you have a formatted, non-write-protected
disk containing the most recent Operating System in the disk drive.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display reads DISK COMMAND COMPLETED.
The next time you “boot” the ASR-10 with that disk, the new settings will be loaded in as the
defaults.
Tip:
If you use several different MIDI reception configurations in your studio, make several copies of
the O.S. disk, and save different GLOBAL PARAMETERS on each one. You can then use the
LOAD GLOBAL PARAMETERS command (Command/System•MIDI page) to load the different
configurations from each O.S. disk.
CMD
LOAD GLOBAL PARAMETERS
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Command / System•MIDI / 3
This command allows you to load global parameters from disk, without having to reboot the
ASR-10.
• Select LOAD GLOBAL PARAMETERS. Make sure you have the disk containing the global
parameters and operating system loaded into the disk drive.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display reads DISK COMMAND COMPLETED.
CMD
CREATE DIRECTORY
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Command / System•MIDI / 4
Use this command to create a new directory on the current disk. Directories are not generally
necessary when working with floppy disks, as it is unlikely that you will fit more than 38 files on
a floppy. However, a hard disk (which can be used with the optional SP-3 SCSI Interface) can
hold hundreds of files, and directories are a necessary part of managing and organizing those
files. See the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) Manual, included with the optional SP-3 Small
Computer System Interface, for details.
