DI-10 Digital
I/O
Manual
In Level-Detect mode the display acts like a peak-reading W meter. The vertical bars on the
d&play
lighting from left to right show the level of the incoming signal. The
star
represents the
sampling threshold
-
the ASR-10 will not begin recording until the signal crosses this level. The
sampling threshold provides a way to make the ASR-10 “wait” until the signal reaches a certain
level before it begins to record. The ASR-10 offers 20 possible sampling threshold levels.
Pressing the
m
button raises the threshold; pressing the
m
button lowers it.
Starting to Record
When REC SRC= DIGITAL and you are sampling from the Digital Input, the input level is
automatically set, and overrides the
Mic/Line
switch (on the ASR-10 keyboard only) as well as
the Input Level Trim Knob and the Input Level
LEDs.
1.
Press (ENTER-YES) or press the left foot switch to initiate sampling. The display will show
WAITING.. . until the threshold is exceeded. During sampling, the display shows:
STOP
I
RECORDlMG XXX SEC LEFT
I
The XXX value (range 000 to 999) will count down in real-time when sampling. Remember
that if the sampling threshold (the star) is set higher than the input signal level (the vertical
bars), the ASR-10
will
not begin sampling until the input signal crosses the threshold.
Pressing (CANCEL-NO) while the sampling screen reads WAITING.. . wiIl abort sampling,
and the ASR-10 will return to Level-Detect mode.
2 Play the sound to be sampled; start the CD player.
3.
Press (CANCEL-NO) or press the left foot switch to stop sampling. If you don’t stop it by
pressing (CANCEL-NO) or the left foot switch, the ASR-10 will continue sampling until it has
used up all the available memory.
Note:
In order to use the left foot switch to start and stop sampling, the LEFT FOOT SW
parameter on the Edit/System*MIDI page must be set to LEFT FOOT SW= SAMPL YES.
After you have stopped sampling (or the memory is full) the display will flash the following
message:
STOP

KEY 08
EI‘1TER
The root key is the note on the ASR-10 keyboard at which the sample will play back at “unity”
(the same pitch as the original input signal). Whichever key you press in response to the PLAY
ROOT KEY OR ENTER prompt is the key that will play back exactly what you sampled.
Tip:
You can also press the ~ENTER.YES) button in response to the PLAY ROOT
KEY OR ENTER prompt. This assigns the root key to the same key number that the
Edit/System*MIDI ENTER PLAYS KEY parameter is set to, allowing you to record
samples without using the keyboard or MIDI input. Remember, you can assign
different WaveSample ranges and change the root key and pitch using the Instrument
Edit parameters.
