About Saving the Bank
Use the SAVE BANK command to save the current Bank. Banks provide a way to load a whole
group of Instruments, song and sequences, and Audio Track recording data into the ASR-10 with
a few button presses. When you save a Bank to disk, it is like taking a “snapshot” of the contents
of the ASR-10 internal memory. The Bank file stores the following information:
l Which Instrument files are loaded into each Instrument*Sequence Track location.
l Which SONG + ALL SEQS file is loaded into the internal memory. This includes all Audio
Track recording data.
l Up to eight discrete Performance Presets.
l The Bank Effect and its parameter settings.
l The Edit/(seq) Track MIX, PAN, OUT, and EFFECT MOD CONTROL setting for each
InstrumenPSequence Track.
Saving the Bank:
1.
Insert one of your own ASR-10 formatted disks (you should not save any of your own files to
the Version 3 O.S. disk.)
2 Press (COMMAND], then (INSTRUMENT) , and use the Data Entry Controls to select the SAVE
BANK command.
3.
Press (ENTER-YES). The display shows:

The display shows the current Bank name with a cursor (underline) beneath the first
character. If you want to rename the Bank, use the Data Entry Controls.

4.
Press (ENTER-YES). The display shows SHUFFLING DATA, then COMMAND
COMPLETED, and returns to the SAVE BANK command page.
Note: It’s not necessary for the Instrument files and SONG + ALL SEQS file to be
saved on the same disk as the Bank. Each file can be saved on separate disks, but make
sure the disks are labeled with a unique disk label (see the WRITE DISK LABEL
command found on the Command/System*MIDI page) so that the Bank knows which
disk the files are saved on, and can locate the information properly.
Backing Up SCSI Storage Devices containing
DiskTracks:
l You can use the Command/System*MIDI, DAT BACKUP/RESTORE command to back up
SCSI Storage Devices to DAT tape by way of the DI-10 Digital I/O Interface. See the previous
section of this manual for more information.
l You can use the Command/System*MIDI, COPY SCSI DRIVE command to make a backup
copy to the same size/type SCSI storage device.
l BACKUP/RESTORE will not backup AudioSample files. You will get an Error Message:
CANT BACKUP <AudioSample name> is displayed whenever an AudioSample file is
encountered, but BACKUP/RESTORE will continue to back up other data.
