Now that the bass is being sent to the sequenceÕs insert effect, letÕs find out what that effect is, and then

change it.

1. Locate the Effects Select button.

2. Press the Effects Select button once. The display shows the sequenceÕs insert effect:

Insert Effect=

20 DDLªChorus

3. Turn the Value knob to select different insert effects and play some notes on the pads to hear what

they sound like.

Insert effects sometimes take a few moment to be installed, or Òdownloaded.Ó

4. When youÕre done experimenting, select insert effect 25 Dist→Chorus.

Play a few notesÑthe bass has now become something rough and wide.

A sequenceÕs global reverb can be selected in the same way as its insert effect (press the Effects Select

button a second time to view the global reverb selection page). The ASR-X Pro effects provide a wide

selection of parameters that let you get each effect sounding just the way you want it toÑthese

parameters can be accessed by pressing the Effects Edit button, selecting the appropriate question and

pressing the Yes button.

Effect selection and editing is described in Chapter 4 of the ASR-X Pro Reference Manual. For a listing of

the insert effects and their parameters, see ÒInsert Effect ParametersÓ later in the UserÕs Guide.

The ASR-X Pro captures audio using a process called sampling, which is another term for digital

recording. When you sample in the ASR-X Pro, you create a wave, or if youÕve sampled in stereo, a pair

of waves. The ASR-X Pro creates a sound based on each wave (or pair of waves) you create, and when

you play that sound, you play the wave.

The ASR-X Pro can sample audio that you feed it through its rear-panel Audio Input jacks, or it can

resample sounds and sequences from the ASR-X Pro itselfÑor both sources at once. In addition, you can

set up the ASR-X Pro to automatically begin sampling when it ÒhearsÓ audioÑa feature weÕll try out in

the following tutorial.

The techniques for sampling and resampling are the sameÑthe only difference is the source

of the audio being sampled.

Remember that youÕre always on a track in the ASR-X Pro. This is even true when you sample or

resample. So that we donÕt get in the way of the tracks weÕve recorded, letÕs select an unused track to

begin.

1. Press the right-hand Select Track button to select Track 3.
