Normalizing Gain
After you’ve recorded a satisfactory sample, you should then perform the Command/Amp
NORMALIZE GAIN command, to optimize use of the full dynamic range of the ASR-10. To do
thi.5:
1. Press (-1, then (AMP) and scroll until the display reads NORMALIZE GAIN.
2 Press (ENTER-YES) to invoke the command. The display will read DATA BEING
PROCESSED, followed by COMMAND COMPLETED.
For more information on the NORMALIZE GAIN command, see Secfion 10 - Wave Data
Purumefers in the ASR-10 Musician’s Manual.
Default Output Routings
When REC SRC= DIGITAL, and a new WaveSample is created, its Edit/Amp, OUT value will be
set lo the same value as the Edit (audio) Track, OUT parameter for the Audio Track through
which the RECORD SOURCE was monitored.
About the Digital Output
When the current system sample rate (as determined by the current effect algorithm) is 44.1 KHz,
the Digital Output jack will provide direct 44.1 KHz digital audio output of the MAIN-OUT mix
(voices routed to BUSl, 2, or 3). Any voices routed to the AUX 1,2, or 3 busses will not be sent to
the Digital Output. Note that when the current effect algorithm uses a 30 KHz sample rate, the
Digital Output is disabled.
To determine the sample rate of the currently selected effect algorithm, press the
(FX SELECT.FX BYPASS) button, followed by the (a) button. The display will read either 23
VOICES AT 44 KHZ or 31 VOICES AT 30 KHZ.
A common use for the Digital Output is to mix-down sequences/songs to a DAT recorder
equipped with a “coaxial” RCA-type S/PDIF digital input jack. Here’s how:
Note: The DAT recorder must be able to record from its digital input at 44.1 KHz.
Some older/consumer DAT recorders, such as the Sony PCM 2500, do not record at
44.1 KHz as a copy protection scheme; fhese DAT recorders will not record the ASR-10’s
44.1 KHz digital output.
1. Connect the ASR-10 Digital I/O Out jack to the S/PDIF digital input jack of a DAT recorder,
using a single RCA-type cable.
2 Press the (FX SELECT-FX BYPASS] button. Using the Data Entry Controls, set the current
effect to one that uses a 44.1 KHz sample rate.
3. Set up the DAT recorder (using the instructions that came with the DAT machine) to record
the sequence/song. The DAT recorder must be set to SP (standard play) 44.1 KHz.
4. Press record on the DAT recorder, then press the m button on the ASR-10.
5. When the sequence/song is finished playing, press the (m) buttons on both the ASR-10
and the DAT recorder.
