Instrument, Bank & Preset Parameters

After selecting the target location for the import, you must press (ENTER-YES) to begin the

importing process:

The display will flash the following message:

All button presses will be ignored during the importing process.

2 The ASR-10 will load as many possible samples into memory as it can, starting with the

lowest key in the selected key range, and moving up the keyboard. There are two cases that

can cause the ASR-10 to exit the importing process with only part of the selected program

imported: if you run out of layers into which to import

WaveSamples,

and/or if the ASR-10

runs out of memory. This can be either more than the total ASR-10 memory, or more than the

current free memory. The display will show “IMPORT INCOMPLETE.” See the

Troubleshooting section for more information about this message.

The default Storage Device for the newly created Instrument (used for Bank saves) will be

initialized to NONE.

The sample data for the selected Akai Program will be loaded into the ASR-10, mapped to the

appropriate WaveSamples and Layers. If the first sample that the ASR-10 tries to load is too

large to fit into the free memory available, an error message will be displayed.

The Akai Program parameters will be interpreted and converted appropriately. While each

Wave Sample is imported, the display will show “IMPORTING<12 character WaveSample

name>,” displaying the names of each WaveSample as it is imported.

Note:

The importing process may take several minutes, depending on the size and

complexity of the Akai Program.

When the parameter conversion is complete, the newly created Instrument will be selected

(yellow Selected LED lit) and can be played from the keyboard or via MIDI In. The following

page will be displayed:

NEW NAME

Range: <first

This parameter allows you to assign a 12 character ASR-10 Instrument name to the imported Akai

program. This will default to the first 12 characters of the name of the imported Akai program.

After editing the NEW NAME parameter as desired, pressing (ENTER-YES) will display the

following prompt:
