I just got an ASR10 today after using an MPC for 4-5 years. As you probably know, the ASR works slightly different than an MPC. I have searched the manual and on the site and I still can't find an answer, so please bare with me!

1. I was wondering if you could set the bars for a sequence BEFORE you record the first track, so the sequence will automatically loop back around when you are done playing the sounds, like the MPC does.

2. I also couldnt find out if the ASR allows you to set decimal places for the BPM. I only see whole numbers on the sequence screen, no decimal places. Like am i able to make a sequence thats 89.5 bpm or is it limited to only whole numbers?

Thank you for your help. I read in the manual about the touch modes that allow the keys to be velocity sensitve.. But when i set it, the sounds still always play at full velocity. is there something else I need to do for the keys to be velocity sensitive?

OK thanks I got it!! Can you set the velocity sensitive envelop to individual keys or does it have to be set for the whole instrument bank??

U really need to get into the manual.

Freebies, lmao......

Whole numbers is not a limit, it's just different, no decimals, prepare to work/think differently.
