so i am looking to buy an ASR 10 and i have read lots and lots abotu it and i decided on it. But now somepeople are telling me you can not program drums using the asr 10 but i have heard from many others that i coudl manipulate samples from records and layer and prgram drums on it all in one. I know blockhead uses it many times and he uses it onlyu for everything. So i would just love some help thank you lots of information abotu the ASR 10 WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED THANKS ??

Is it jsut that you record and sample all the different drum noises from other records and then you could have about 40 different bass drumms and then you would assign them and use them together as you choose. I did not know if you had to find each different drum sound on a record and use it or what are the options??

I'm not sure what you mean by "program"...

If you mean change pitch, timestretch/expand, change filters (i.e. highs, lows, mids, etc), layer, copy and paste, merge, splice/cut, realtime pitch and frequency changes (during sequence recording), add effects, chop, make a complete drum set/instrument from one drum break from a record, etc, then yeah, it does all that and more.

BUT....it's not easy to do.

ok well thank you so if i were to want to make a drum beat and loop it i would have to record each sound incividually and then assign them to keys and then use them together to create it. Is that what i wold have to do thank you i am still trying to figure out if i want to buy one oif these or an mpc what would your opinoion be and how do u do your drums on the asr

Well, if you made a drum beat, you would already have individual sounds. If you mean "sample a drum beat" then you would have to make a lot of copies of that loop/sample, then go to each copy of it and adjust the start/end points for things like: hi hat, crash cymbal, bass drum, snare, etc. THe good thing is, each of those copies are not gonna take up more memory as long as all you do is copy the "parameters". A lot of people that love the MPCs over ASRs think that the only way to copy samples is by copying the parameters and data.

If you REALLY want something that is easy to use, I would suggest the MPC. They are incredible for drums. The ASR is an old unit, and it takes a lot to learn how to use it.
