“Punching In” on a Track
Suppose you have a track that is fine for the first four bars but the next four bars need to be
redone. You can “Punch In” at any point in the track by doing the following:
• Select the track you want to record on.
• Press Play to start the sequence or song playing.
• Press Record. This puts the ASR-10 in Overdub Standby — the ODUB indicator flashes on the
display and the sequencer is waiting for you to play keys before going into record.
• Start playing (or press the Left Foot Switch) at the point where you want to punch in. As soon
as you play anything, the ASR-10 goes into Overdub (or Record for a new track) and records
what you play, leaving intact the part of the track before the punch in.
• Press Stop•Continue. You will see the Audition page as shown above, letting you play the
new or the old track before deciding which to keep.
Recording the Default Track MIX Setting
Each Instrument•Sequence Track has its own default MIX setting that is recorded each time that
a sequence track is recorded/overdubbed. This default MIX setting is fixed, and applies to the
entire duration of the track (unlike continuous volume changes recorded with the Foot Pedal, or
MIXDOWN VOLUME events recorded on the songs tracks — see later in this Section). If the
Edit/Track MIX value is edited during playback, the default track MIX setting will be restored
each time the sequence loops around. To permanently change the default MIX setting for a track:
• Set SEQ REC MODE= ADD on the Edit/Seq•Song page. This will prevent any unwanted
changes to existing track events.
• Select the Instrument•Sequence Track for which you want to adjust the MIX.
• Press Play, and then press Edit, followed by Track, and adjust the MIX value while listening to
the track until you find the proper level.
• Once you’ve decided on the MIX value, press Stop•Continue.
• While holding down Record, press Play. After the first bar of the sequence has been recorded,
press Stop•Continue.
• The KEEP= OLD/NEW Audition page will be displayed. You can’t audition the volume
change on the KEEP=OLD/NEW page. Select KEEP=NEW and press Enter•Yes to keep the
results. Press Play. You will now hear the new default MIX setting, and it will now be
permanently recorded on the track. If you don’t like the new default MIX setting, simply
repeat the above procedure and set a new MIX level.
• It’s a good idea to return to the Edit/Seq•Song page to set the SEQ REC MODE back to
REPLACE for later sequencing.
Tip:
You can use the optional CVP-1 Foot Pedal to record continuous volume changes onto a sequence
track. Set PEDAL=VOLUME on the Edit/System•MIDI page, and then record the Pedal•CV
controlled volume changes with SEQ REC MODE= ADD. This will record volume (MIDI
Controller #7) events onto the track, which can then be edited like any other sequencer event.
For information about mixing down song tracks, see Recording MIXDOWN VOLUME and
MIXDOWN PAN, later in this Section.
Recording Another Track with a Copy of the Same Instrument
You will sometimes find that you want to record a second track using the same instrument.
There is a quick way to make a “working copy” of any ASR-10 instrument in an unused location,
without copying the sample data (thus conserving memory).
Suppose, for example, that you have recorded a track with a piano sound on Track 1. Now you
want to record another track with the same sound, but with independent controllers, MIX level,
PAN, OUT bus, etc. You can copy the piano into any empty Instrument•Sequence Track
location (let’s say Track 4) by following these three steps:
