computerÑyouÕll need to connect:
¥ the MIDI In of the ASR-X Pro to the MIDI Out of the
external device.
¥ the MIDI OUT of the ASR-X Pro to the MIDI In of the
external device.

Before powering up your ASR-X Pro for the first time, turn its front-panel Volume knob
all the way down (counter-clockwise) before turning it on. This will help make sure that youÕve
set safe levels for all of your equipment before you make any sound on the ASR-X Pro.
To power up the ASR-X Pro, press in the top of its rear-panel power switch. When you do so, the ASR-X
Pro will start up and display:

The ASR-X Pro will produce its best sound when its volume knob is turned all the way up, so the best
way to set up your ASR-X Pro levels is to:
1. Turn the volume of the channels to which youÕve connected the ASR-X Pro all the way down. If
youÕre connected to a mixer, turn down the channel preamps as well.
2. Turn the ASR-X Pro Volume knob all the way up.
3. Play the ASR-X Pro pads with a good amount of force.
4. Set the levels on your mixer or amplifier to a workable setting.

Since the dynamic range produced by the ASR-X Pro is greater than that of a CD, record or cassette, set
your levels carefully:
1. Set the stereo to your normal listening level.
2. Play the ASR-X Pro pads with a good amount of force.
3. While playing, slowly bring up the setting of the ASR-X Pro volume knob to an acceptable level that
doesnÕt cause your stereo to distort.
