Notes
VOICE: MINI mode
-
no sound:
Layer glide mode = MINI was not dealing with simultaneous key downs properly. When multiple notes went down at the
same time, the result would be no audio output. (Granted, this mode dictates that you play monophonically. But if you
played a chord you should hear at least one note sound.) This problem originated in Beta version 2.72. It is now fixed.
VOICE- TRIGGER or LEGATO mode
-
System Error:
Layer glide mode = TRIGGER or LEGATO could cause a system error 129 if multiple notes were played when the system
is first booted up. This was an initialization problem that would normally not cause a problem. The only reason that it
was found was a demo sequence from the disk DSAX-001 started with a piano chord programmed with the mode =
TRIGGER. Version 3.08 fixes this problem.
IMPORT ROLAND
-
SOME PATCHES DO NOT IMPORT:
From Roland CD-ROM’s, if the CD was fairly full, some sounds would not show up in the directory listing, or they would
show up but attempting to load them would result in a file operation error. This has been fixed in Version 3.08.
IMPORT AKAI
-
SOME PROGRAMS DO NOT IMPORT:
Some CD-ROM’s in AKAI format may not show all of the programs in a particular volume. This can happen if the CD
ROM has wavesample files interleaved with program files within the same volume (instead of grouping all files of a
similar type.) This has been fixed in Version 3.08
IMPORT AKAI: TICKS and POPS:
Some AKAI sounds were importing with pops or ticks in the loop or at the beginning of the sample. The problem was an
offset in where the sample starts. Version 3.08 fixes this problem. A work-around in previous OS versions is to adjust the
sample start point by increasing it by 5. Same with Loop Position. This work-around should fix most ticks caused by this
problem.
IMPORT ERROR 133:
AKAI program Latin Percussion from IN-Vision Disk
#6
Volume 7 caused an IMPORT ERROR 133. This error could
occur with other
A&I
imports as well, depending on the particular CD-ROM. This problem has been fixed.
IMPORT AFTERTOUCH ROUTING:
AKAI
Import always hard-coded aftertouch routed to Filter modulation amount as 0. This has been fixed.
IMPORT AKAI: WAVESAMPLE FINE TUNING:
Wavesample fine tuning on AKAI programs may cause a wavesample key group to be out of tune with the rest of the
keyboard. This has been fixed in Version 3.08. Note that AKAI samplers implement a wavesample fractional loop point
that our architecture does not support.
If the program uses wavesample fractional loop points, the result is that the
wavesample will play in tune until the loop end point is reached, then the loop will go slightly sharp or flat. No
workaround for this, it’s in the voice chip.
IMPORT INTO LAST BIN RESULTS IN NO FREE INSTRUMENTS MESSAGE
Importing into the last free instrument location of the ASR-10 results in a successful import but the command exits with a
“NO FREE INSTRUMENTS” message. The command was successful, but the message should not have been displayed.
This has been fixed in Version 3.08.
PHASER+REVERB EFFECT ALGORITHM REPLACED
The PHASER+REVERB algorithm could cause intermittent ticks and pops. This algorithm has been replaced in Version
3.08 to correct this problem.
ASR-10 Version 3.53 Release Notes
This operating system addresses the problem of global parameters not being loaded properly on
bootup.
