DI-10 Digital I/O Manual
Easy All-Digital Sampling
Let’s try recording a simple, one-shot sample entirely in the digital domain. First we need a
digital audio source. For this example, we’ll use a standard CD player (that has a digital output
jack) with your favorite audio sampling CD. In the consumer CD player market, CD players with
a “coaxial” RCA-type digital output jack are compatible with the ASR-10. CD players with an
“optical“ digital output jack are not compatible with the ASR-10. See the Appendix for a list of
ASR-10 compatible CD players.
1. The digital output jack of the CD player should be connected to the Digital I/O In jack on the
back of the ASR-10 using a single RCA-type cable.
2 To initiate sampling, press the (SAMPLE.SOURCE SELECT) button. The display shows:
STOP
REt SRt=IMPUTDRY I FFT
The RECORD SOURCE parameter has two fields. Field 1 determines which Audio Source
will be sampled. Field 2 determines whether the Audio Source will be sampled in stereo or
mono.
3. Set REC SRC Field 1 to DIGITAL using the Data Entry Controls.
4. Set REC SRC Field 2 to L+R (stereo) by pressing both (AUDIO TRACK) buttons, or by using the
Data Entry Controls. The display should look like this:
STOP
REC SRC=DIGITRL l.9
5. Press either an unloaded (no red LED lit) (INSTRUMENT*SEQUENCE TRACK) button (the
recommended way to select a destination Instrument) or press the (ENTER-YES) button. If
the (ENTER-YES) button is pressed, the display will ask:
STOP
PICK SRPlPLE IMSTRUI1EI‘IT
6. Press an unloaded (no red LED lit) (INSTRUMENT.SEQUENCE TRACK) button. If you select an
(INSTRUMENT.SEQUENCE TRACK) where there is already an instrument loaded, the ASR-10
will display the multisampling screen, as normal.
After you have pressed an unloaded (INSTRUMENT.SEQUENCE TRACK) button, the .4SR-10 goes
into Level-Detect (or W) mode:
