1. Press the right-hand Select Track button once to select Track 2.
2. Using the Sound Name knobs, select the sound BuzzSawBassÑsince the BASS-SYN category was
already selected, you didnÕt have to turn the Sound Type knob to select a SoundFinder category.
3. Play a few notes of BuzzSawBass to get an idea of its sound with no Patch Select buttons pressed.
4. Play the padsÑwith a standard sound such as BuzzSawBass, all the pads play the same basic sound
at different pitches.
BuzzSawBass is one of the sounds built into the ASR-X ProÕs permanent ROM. Since ROM sounds
can contain up to 16 layers of waves, the Patch Select buttons are most useful when used with these
sounds.
5. Hold down either of the Patch Select buttons and play some notes on the padsÑhear how that
sound has changed? You can release the button to return BuzzSawBass to its original sound.
6. Try the other Patch Select positions with BuzzSawBass.

Patch Select button-presses will be recorded if they occur during the recording of a sequence
track. TheyÕre also transmitted via MIDI so that they can be used for controlling other ENSONIQ
products that use Patch Select buttons, and so that they can be recorded in an external sequencer.

The ASR-X Pro contains a recording device called a sequencer that is both powerful and easy to use. A
sequencer records the music you play on each of its 16 tracks. The music is recorded on each track as
MIDI data, and is therefore highly editable. Each segment of music you record is called a
sequence . There
is always a sequence selected in the ASR-X ProÑeven when you havenÕt yet recorded anythingÑand the
track that youÕre on is in that sequence.
