11. When the sequence ends, press the Sample Start/Stop button again to stop sampling.
YouÕve just created a stereo sample thatÕs capturedÑas a pair of wavesÑthe sequence you recorded
earlier. Whereas a sequence is just MIDI data, sampling records the sound that MIDI data produces.
The waves are in the Scratch Pad, which you can now play to hear what youÕve resampled.
12. The display is showing:
C2...0oct..C3 SendTo
Pads?
At this point, you must send the waves to one or more pads in a drum kit in order to fully use and
edit what youÕve sampled.
13. Strike the lowest pad. The ASR-X Pro takes this to mean that you want to play your waves from that
pad. The display shows the pad youÕve hit.
C2...0oct..C3 SendTo
¼ Pads?

This pad symbol represents the pad you hit
14. Strike the middle pad and the highest padÑthe waves will be assigned to three pads, as shown on
the display.

All three pads you hit are now shown on the display

You can un-select a pad by hitting it a second time, but for the purposes of the tutorial, you
do want the waves sent to all three of the pads youÕve hit.

When you send waves to pads, those pads have to be in a sound that can accept them. Since all of the
sounds built into your ASR-X Pro are permanently stored in ROM, none of them qualifyÑtheyÕre
unchangeable. As a result, when you try to send waves into a ROM soundÑif thatÕs whatÕs on the
currently selected trackÑthe ASR-X Pro makes an editable copy of the sound, into which you can send
your waves. Such a sound is called a
RAM (for Òrandom access memoryÓ) sound , since thatÕs where all
editable items are stored in the ASR-X ProÕs memory.
Kit sounds are ideal for sending waves into, since in kit sounds, each pad can have its own sound. If you
try to send waves into a sound thatÕs not a kit, the ASR-X Pro turns it into oneÑin such a kit, each pad
will play a different pitch of the original sound.
Therefore, when you send waves into a sound, it has to be a RAM kit soundÑif itÕs not, the ASR-X Pro
automatically makes a RAM kit copy of the sound on the currently selected track. In our tutorial, thatÕs
just what happened. Dance Kit was a ROM sound, so the ASR-X Pro created a RAM kit copy of it that
could accept your waves.
