About Performance Presets
Performance Presets
Once you have a number of instruments loaded into the ASR-10, there are so many possible
combinations for selecting, stacking, mixing, and manipulating the ranges of those instruments
that it can get a bit hard to manage during a performance. That is where Performance Presets
come in.
For each bank, you can create eight performance presets which allow you to store different
keyboard configurations. By selecting a performance preset you can instantly recreate the state of
the “pile” at the time the preset was created. These eight performance presets are saved with the
bank, and are loaded each time a bank is loaded.
Within each preset, the following information is saved for instant recall:
• Which instruments are selected, deselected, or stacked (on the “pile” in Load mode)
• The current “locked in” status of the patch select buttons for each Instrument•Sequence
Track
• The Edit/Track MIX (volume level), PAN, OUT Bus routing, and EFFECT MOD CONTROL
settings for each Instrument•Sequence Track
• The Edit/Instrument MIDI OUT CHANNEL number, MIDI OUT PROGRAM number,
PRESSURE mode setting, MIDI STATUS setting, PATCH SELECT MODE setting, INST (key)
RANGE , and XPOS (transpose) settings for each Instrument•Sequence Track
Selecting Performance Presets
When the ASR-10 is in Load mode (the LOAD indicator solidly lit), pressing the Page buttons
numbered 1-8 (not the Instrument•Sequence Track buttons) will select the eight performance
presets once they’ve been created.
Tip:
To select Performance Presets when in Edit, Command, or (flashing) Load mode:
• While holding down Load, press and release Instrument.
• The display will show:

display will return to (solid) Load mode.

and then return to (solid) Load mode:
