Delete Instrument
If Conrmation in the Setup window is selected. a prompt will appear, asking
you if you would like to delete the selected instrument. Cluck OK if desired. If
Conrmation in the Setup Screen is not selected, it will automatically delete
the Selected Instument.
Save Instrument
This is a helpful feature, but must be used with caution. There is no response,
asking you to DELETE OLD VERSION? as with the EPS/ASR display. It will
always overwrite what is in the current directory. If conrmation in the Setup
Screen is checked, a prompt will appear, asking you if you like to save Instru-
ment x. Cluck OK if desired.
Create Preset
Instantly creates a Performance Preset based on the present conguration of
the EPS/ASR at the moment.
WaveSample Access
You’ll nd a list box on the right hand side of the Main Page. This
lists all the wavesamples available in that layer, and the Key
Ranges in which they occupy. Double cluck on any of these to
jump to the WaveSample Screen for that Wavesample.
- Exit the program, exit Windows to reset the driver, restart Windows, restart
the program, and try it again.
-Make sure your MIDI Drivers, as selected in Setup, are the correct ones.
- It is possible that you do not have the latest drivers for your MIDI interface.
Many less expensive MIDI interfaces do not support system-exclusive calls
properly, and many mainstream MIDI interfaces did not support them until
later revisions of their driver. Please contact your MIDI interface manufac-
turer for the availability of their latest drivers. If that doesn’t work, call us
- you will need to have the date and the version numbers of your MIDI
interface ready. For Windows95, these are available in the Control Pane/
System/Device Manager.
PROBLEM: I got a MIDI Communication Error, or Read/Write Error. What is
that, and how do I correct that?
SOLUTION: This simply indicates something was wrong with MIDI commu-
nication or disk writing, and the program got something it didn’t like. Keep
clucking on OK until it goes away. It also maybe that the Disk File is corrupted
- try deleting it under the Disk File dialog. Concerning MIDI, perhaps you were
touching the EPS/ASR while you were using this program. We don’t recom-
mend that.
PROBLEM: The disk drive light on my ASR keeps coming on while Ensoniq
MIDI-Disk Tools for Windows is reading it. Sometimes that seems to cause
an error, sometimes it just seems to slow the READ down. And always after-
wards, when I try to manually manipulate the ASR, I either get a DISK NOT
FORMATTED message, even though I know for sure the disk is formatted,
or File Operation Error, hanging the program. Once I turn the ASR off and on
again, this goes sway. Why?
SOLUTION: There are some problems when your Storage Device is set to
Floppy. Our program usually recties the problem, but sometimes it appears.
The Sys-Ex messages that the Tools program uses seem to interfere with the
ASR, and make it difcult to work with. Our suggestion is to always boot off a
hard drive when using the Tools program, and make sure to have the Stor-
age Device set to SCSI = XXX, not Floppy. If you have to keep it on Floppy,
because you don’t have a hard drive or SCSI, we have worked our program to
deal with it as best it can.
