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).
