	Reference Documentation
	MR MIDI System Exclusive Specification Document Version 1.53/2.11-A 55 K There is no System Exclusive documentation specific to the ASR-X that was made widely available prior to the merger of Ensoniq into E-mu. That said, the ASR-X SysEx is said to be similar to that of the MR Series. From the Introduction and Overview "This document describes the MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) communication protocol used when the MR-Rack/61/76 (MR) is communicating with an external computer or MIDI device (EXT)." The following is reproduced from the ASR-X FAQ: (in hex) Start of SysEx Ensoniq Code Product Family Code Member Code EPS/ASR SysEx Header F0 0F 03 Represents Base Channel MR SysEx Header F0 0F 09 0 (Rack), 1 (MR-61), 2 (MR-76) ASR-X SysEx Header F0 0F 10 1 Also, the ASR-X uses several Universal SysEx commands that are not listed in the MR SysEx documents.
