Bounce-Down
Bounce-down is the re-recording of the playback of existing tracks. You can bounce down two
tracks into one, allowing for unlimited overdubbing – create stacked background vocals, doubled
guitar parts, etc. A track can be bounced back to itself to add effects to a dry track, or to build up
multi-processed tracks using a different effect algorithm with each pass.
Tip: When Sample•Source Select, REC SRC=MAIN-OUT, up to eight Instrument•Sequence Tracks
can be bounced down to one (or two) Audio Track(s), freeing up the eight Instrument•Sequence
Tracks for additional sequencing! Just set the Edit/Seq•Song, MUTE ATRKS IN REC=YES to
prevent the Audio Tracks from being re-recorded as well (see below).
Note: SCSI speed on most SCSI Storage Devices tends to be too slow to allow the acurate transfer of
ASR-10 bounce-down information. Because of this, we do not recommend performing a 2-to-2
bounce-down using DiskTracks.
Audio Track Bounce-Down Rules — Recording the MAIN-OUT:
• When Sample•Source Select, REC SRC=MAIN-OUT, the Audio Inputs are disabled, and both
Source-Monitor LEDs remain off at all times. Only the Audio Track playback is monitored
through the Edit/(audio) Track settings. The Source Monitor voices are not needed to
monitor this REC SRC, as it is always audible out the MAIN OUTs.
• In combination with setting the Sample•Source Select, REC SRC=MAIN-OUT, setting the
Edit/Seq•Song, MUTE ATRKS IN REC=NO enables Audio Track playback, allowing Audio
Track playback to be re-recorded, or bounced down.
• Entering record with the Sample•Source Select, REC SRC=MAIN-OUT will record any ASR-
10 voices that are routed to BUS1/2/3. This includes any sequencer tracks that are playing
local ASR-10 Instruments, any notes played on the keyboard or received via MIDI that play
local ASR-10 Instruments, and any previously recorded Audio Tracks that have their
Edit/(audio) Track, ATRK PLAYBACK STATUS set to “P” (if the Edit/Seq•Song, MUTE
ATRKS IN REC=NO).
• Audio Tracks are always bounced-down through the Edit/(audio) Track settings, with the MIX
and PAN and FX processing settings being permanently imposed on the Audio data.
• When the Sample•Source Select, REC SRC Field 1 is set to MAIN-OUT, the following REC
SRC Field 2 settings determine whether entering Record will bounce both Audio Tracks down
to a single track (2 to 1), or will simply re-mix both Audio Tracks through new effects,
maintaining track discretion (2 to 2).
