its a royal pain. You can make a macro that loads up all the sounds in that FL project or use the save all sequence and files option in the ASR.
Obviously VSTi or sample CDS will atomically back up when saving but the ASR will not. So put a basic kit together and save to your SCSI drive in the ASR folder system it requires. (I dont have SCSI) With any luck I might have SCSI on Monday and can try my self.
I used to do this with a Kurzweil and backing up to drives SUCKED and macros took some time. In Cubase it gives a note window and for each track I would take notes to what instrument was there (Often this would go for 8 tracks) not realistic, not fun and as humans go we like to organize so it was a constant mess.
A card reader would be the best and use a card and macro for each project. Its what I want to do but the $$$$
As a trade off though the sound will rock.
Just a thought, all the popular artists that use the ASR in the studio might not even use midi. I think they play the ASR into protools and record as a Wave file. Then again to me their music sucks bad and they make something like 50 songs a week so I assume they play the ASR as an ASR sequence and track to wave files???
So many ways you can do what you want.
What about save all sounds, sequence and stuff option in the ASR into a folder on your SCSI? Then with good notes you can recall it back even years from now.
You need to set the ASR system up for recording with external sequencers. Iv had 4 tracks going on 4 different tracks in cubase. Set each up for its own midi channel and set the correct modes within the ASR system. If I recall it was extremely annoying and I had some issues with pressing buttons on the asr tracks not sending progroam change data.
If you want I can power up my ASR and see what my system is set up like.
I no longer have a computer in the studio and the asr is in the garage so let me know as I USED to do what you want.
Now that I remember the ASR works fine with software but I think it did not get along with my Kurzweil and sequencing. Either way I remember something BAD about the ASR OS and controlling several tracks on another machine.
