2 ENSONIQ ASR-X Pro UserÕs Guide
Below the display in the center of the front panel are two knobs used during most ASR-X Pro activities.
These knobs are known by two different sets of names, since they serve two general purposes.
When youÕre selecting sounds for tracks or for pads in the ASR-X Pro, the central knobs should be
thought of as the ÒSound TypeÓ and ÒSound NameÓ knobs.
For every other activity, the knobs will be referred to as the ÒParameter knobÓ and the ÒValue knob.Ó
Both sets of names are printed on the front panel, as you can see.

ItÕs important that you understand the meaning of these terms as you use the ASR-X Pro:
¥ parameterÑThis is any characteristic of the ASR-X Pro software that can be changed.
¥ valueÑThis is the setting of a parameter.
¥ selectÑThis is the act of choosing a sound for playing or recording, or choosing a parameter to be
edited.
¥ standard soundÑA sound is a program that plays one or more digital audio recordings arranged in
layers. The recordings, or
waves , can be data permanently stored in the ASR-X ProÕs ROM (for Òread-
only memoryÓ), or something youÕve sampled or loaded into the ASR-X Pro. Standard sounds based
on ROM waves can have up to 16 layers; sounds that play sampled waves use one layer for mono
waves, or two layers for stereo waves.
¥ kit soundÑA kit is a sound in which each of its 64 notes can play a different standard sound. Since
the ASR-X Pro is designed for beats and loops, kit sounds are its most potent sounds.

There are a few types of connections youÕll want to make as you set up the ASR-X Pro Ñall of the jacks
necessary for these connections are located on the rear panel of the ASR-X Pro. YouÕll want to set up:
¥ a way of listening to the ASR-X ProÑYou can connect the ASR-X
ProÕs Left and Right Main Out jacks to a mixer, amplifier or stereo
system. If youÕd like to use the ASR-X Pro in mono, connect only the
Left or Right Main Out jack to your mixer or amplifier, and make
sure nothing is plugged into the other Main Out jack. If youÕd rather
listen to the ASR-X Pro through headphones, you can plug yours in
to the ASR-X ProÕs Phones jackÑyour headphones will need to have
a 1/4Ó stereo plug or adapter to work correctly with the Phones jack.
