Software Notes
New Feature: Import non-ASR Instruments
The ASR- 10 will now import and play sounds from the AKAI and Roland libraries. Unlike other programs that only load
wavesample data and loop information, the ASR-10 conversion takes place at the AKAI program level and the Roland Patch
level. Parameters such as velocity switchin g, layering, filters, etc are translated to native ASR- 10 instrument format. The
new imported instrument can now be saved or edited just like any other ASR-10 instrument. See the Version 3 Operating
System manual for details.
Additional Changes and Fixes:
In addition to the new features mentioned previously, the following problems have been addressed in Version 3.00:
Audio Track Recording - General
Invalid “OUT OF MEMORY” message on Record STOP. Hitting STOP during audio track recording could
result in an OUT OF MEMORY message even if free memory was available. This was a cosmetic problem
only. No data was lost. Fixed in Version 3.00.
System Error or lockup during KEEP NEW after audio track record.
A scenario could exist where the ASR-10 would crash with a system error (usually 129,215, 217), or the display is
frozen
on . . . . EDITING . . . . .
after you KEEP NEW to an audio track record. This was a resource-allocation
problem that is fixed in Version 3.00.
Audio Track Recording - Stereo
A scenario could exist where the ASR-10 would crash with a system error (usually 129) or the display is frozen on
. . . . EDITING . . . . .
when you stop recording or attempt to KEEP NEW after a stereo audio track record. Fixed in
Version 3.00.
DiskTrack Recording
DiskTrack overdub results in System Error 57 on KEEP NEW. A specific punch-in/out situation could result in
a System Error 57. This particular problem is unique to DiskTrack overdubs, when punching out on an existing
AudioSample. Fixed in Version 3.00.
Song File Saves and Loads
Loading song files saved with earlier Operating Systems cause lockups or System Errors. Song files that were
loaded and resaved across multiple operating systems may not have loaded properly. Defensive logic was added
to Version 3.00 to support song files saved across multiple Operating Systems.
Large song fdes created on disk Abnormal termination of sequencer recording could result in sequencer memory
being allocated but never released, resulting in a large song file. Version 3.00 fixes this problem.
Sound Voicing/Editing
Delete Wavesample removing all wavesamples in the layer. Certain layering situations could set up a case where
deleting a single wavesample resulted in all wavesamples within the selected layer being deleted. This problem
is fixed in Version 3.00.
Restrike Time parameter not working on stereo layers. Restrike time was not working properly when STEREO
LAYER LINK was set to ON. Fixed in Version 3.00.
Pops heard on dark, muted sounds when sustain pedal down. Exceeding the available polyphony could result in
slight pops which are noticeable on dark sounds. Version 3.00 addresses this problem.
Floppy Disk Commands
Invalid WRONG SIZE DISK message when using COPY FLOPPY DISK co
mmand. When using the COPY
FLOPPY DISK, inserting an unformatted destination floppy disk brings up the following prompt: WRONG
SIZE DISK, even if it’s the correct disk density. This should happen only if the destination disk is a different
density than the source disk, but this error was appearing if the destination disk was not formatted on an ASR-
10. Fixed in Version 3.00.
