8 Using the ASR-10 with a MIDI Guitar Controller

Using the ASR-10 with a MIDI Guitar Controller

The ASR-10 is an ideal instrument to use with any MIDI guitar controller that is capable of

transmitting in MONO mode. MONO mode allows a guitar controller to transmit the notes

played on each string on a different MIDI channel. This has the advantage of letting each string

send pitch bends independently, which is the only way to truly recreate guitar technique on a

synthesizer.

Some earlier guitar controllers do not support MONO mode. You will have to consult the

manual of your particular model to see if it does. If you have a guitar controller that only sends

in POLY mode (i.e. send all six strings on the same MIDI channel) you should use the ASR-10 in

POLY mode or OMNI mode.

For MIDI guitar controllers that do support MONO mode, you will want to put the ASR-10 in

one of the two types of MONO mode that are available. In MONO A, the ASR-10 receives on

eight consecutive MIDI channels with only one voice assigned to each MIDI channel. In MONO

B, the ASR-10 receives on the Edit/Track MULTI-IN MIDI channel assigned to each

Instrument•Sequence Track.

• MONO A is the mode you will probably use most often. This is the mode to use when you

want to play the same sound on all the strings of your guitar controller. In MONO A, the

ASR-10 receives on eight consecutive MIDI channels (the MIDI BASE CHANNEL through

MIDI BASE CHANNEL +7) and will play whatever Instrument•Sequence Track(s) are

selected or stacked on the front panel. In other words, the ASR-10 behaves as it does in POLY

or OMNI modes, except that it receives monophonically on multiple MIDI channels. This

provides the advantage of multiple tracks that will respond independently to controllers

received on multiple channels, but you do not have to set up the instruments for each track

separately.

• MONO B is the mode to use if you want to be able to play a different sound on each string of

your guitar controller. In MONO B, each Instrument•Sequence Track receives on its own

Edit/Track MULTI-IN MIDI channel. In other words, the ASR-10 behaves as it does in

MULTI mode, except that each Instrument•Sequence Track receives monophonically on

multiple MIDI channels. This is the only way to get a different sound on each string when

using a MIDI guitar controller.

Using MONO A Mode

To use the ASR-10 in MONO A mode, set it up as follows:

• Load one or more instruments into the ASR-10.

• Press Edit, then System•MIDI. Scroll to MIDI IN MODE.

• Select MIDI IN MODE= MONO A.

• Set your guitar controller to transmit in MONO mode on channels 1– 6 (some models have an

easy shortcut for getting into this state).

• Connect the MIDI Out of the guitar controller module to the MIDI In of the ASR-10.

• Press Load on the ASR-10 to return to Load mode. (Remember — the ASR-10 will only

respond to program changes or select multiple instruments when in LOAD mode.)

• Select an Instrument•Sequence Track either by pressing a front panel button or by sending a

program change from the guitar controller.

• You should now be able to play the ASR-10 from the guitar controller with all six strings

playing whatever instrument(s) are selected or stacked on the front panel.
