CMD
CREATE NEW WAVESAMPLE
WAVE
Press Command / Wave / 0
A primary function of the ASR-10 is to create new WaveSamples by sampling external sound
sources. However, the ASR-10 also can create a WaveSample without sampling. The CREATE
NEW WAVESAMPLE command creates a small square-wave without sampling. This is useful as
a tuning reference, or for experimenting with voice parameters on a static wave.
CMD
COPY WAVESAMPLE
WAVE
Press Command / Wave / 1
Use this command to make a copy of the currently selected WaveSample and its data, or a copy
of its parameters only (when used within an instrument).
COPY WAVESAMPLE lets you apply different WaveSample parameter settings to the same
wave data. You can copy the parameters and data of the original WaveSample, or just the
parameters. When copying within an instrument, selecting PARAMS ONLY helps conserve
memory.
• Select COPY WAVESAMPLE. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads TO INST=UNNAMED. Press an Instrument•Sequence Track button to
choose the destination instrument (if necessary). Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads TO LAYER=##. Using the Up/Down Arrow buttons, select a destination
layer. Press Enter•Yes.
• Use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to select COPY=PARAMS ONLY or COPY=PARAMS &
DATA. Press Enter•Yes. The display reads WAVESAMPLE ## CREATED.
CMD
DELETE WAVESAMPLE
WAVE
Press Command / Wave / 2
Use DELETE WAVESAMPLE to erase unneeded WaveSamples from an instrument in memory.
For example, you can delete the drum sound WaveSamples that you don’t need from a drum kit.
Doing this can help you conserve memory.
• Be sure the WaveSample you want to delete is selected on the Edit page.
• Select DELETE WAVESAMPLE. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display will read DELETE WAVESAMPLE ##? If this is the WaveSample you want to
delete, press Enter•Yes. If not, press Cancel•No.
Note: When STEREO LAYER LINK= ON, this command will be simultaneously performed on the
corresponding WaveSample in the companion layer.
CMD
WAVESAMPLE INFORMATION
WAVE
Press Command / Wave / 3
You can use WAVESAMPLE INFORMATION to name a WaveSample; find out the sample rate;
whether or not a WaveSample is a copy; and what the root key is. The WAVESAMPLE
INFORMATION command is used primarily for reference, and is useful for keeping track of
things when you are developing sounds.
