ASR-1 O/88
SOFIWARE
NOTES
The O.S. version on the disk can be easily updated (call ENSONIQ Customer Service for the latest O.S.
version). You cannot copy the O.S. to a disk onto which you have already saved instruments or
sequences, but not the O.S. Attempts to do so will result in an error message.
To Check the ASR-10 Software Version:
l Press Command, then Env 1. The display shows NO COMMANDS ON PAGE.
l Repeatedly press the left or right arrow button until the display shows SOFIWARE
INFORMATION.
l Press Enter-Yes. The display shows RAM VERSION = X.Xx.
l Press
EntereYes.
The display shows ROM VERSION = Y.YY.
l Press Enter-Yes. The display shows KEYBOARD VERSION ZZZ. For the Rack, this will
always show 1.
Keyboard Software
In keyboard version 2.40 software, when you hold down up arrow button and press down arrow
button, numbers would scroll instead of going to the halfway point. A new keyboard with keyboard
software version 2.41 fixes this problem (released 16 March 93).
On March 16, 1993, Keyboard Software Version 2.41 went into production. Version 2.41 addresses
problems that were inherent in version 2.40. The problems that were addressed are:
l Rapid button presses (e.g. direct dialing or holding inc/dec to center a parameter value) could cause
any of the following symptoms:
1)
Garbled display. For example: message not centered properly in the display, characters
missing or repeating in a message. Subsequent messages are displayed properly.
2)
Missed buttons. For example: holding down the up arrow button and pressing the down
arrow button to center a parameter could cause unit to miss a button-up, which would make
the parameter value scroll to the extreme high or low end of its range. Subsequent button
presses are handled properly.
3) Display/Button lock-up in extreme cases. Power off/on corrects problem.
ASR-10 ROM/DISK Compatibility Issues
The following chart summarizes the Operating System compatibility of the ASR-10 Keyboard and
Rack. The Rack was released with
1SOB
EPROMs and must have at least version 1.50 disk.
* From version 2.00 on,
the OS uses more space in RAM
than previous versions.This is
due to the Disk Tracks feature.
Version 3.50 ROMS are for
the ASR-88 only.
