Track ParamReset Behavior

April 23, 2003 ~ Another frequently asked question: Track Parameter Reset behavior.

I just bought the Encore Electronics Knobby controller to modulate in real time various parameters on my ASR-X. The trouble is, when I play a sequence, the parameter I'm modulating (let's say filter cutoff on track 5) will be reset to its original value. So if I tweak the cutoff from 0 to -> 47, once the sequence loops it automatically jumps back to 0. Is there a way to keep a parameter at the last externally assigned value? > >

No, not when using a hardware control surface with the ASR-X sequencer playing back in 'loop' mode. This is a 'feature' of the ASR-X that was hotly debated some years ago. The ASR-X is indeed resetting the MIDI CC #'s to the default values at the start of your sequence.

The behavior you've observed will not be an issue when either a) adjusting a parameter from the front panel of the ASR-X using the Value knob or b) using an external sequencer in conjunction with the ASR-X and your control surface. An alternative is to make a linear song with the ASR-X sequencer of sequences strung together without allowing the song to 'loop' from bar1.

You might want to review the ASR-X Pro Reference Manual as there are tables on pages 120-121 documenting a) MIDI Controller Reception Behavior (also, see The ASR-X and MIDI Controllers) b) Reset All Controllers (MIDI CC #121) Reception Behavior - when Track ParamReset=Off vs. On and c) Track ParamReset Behavior when a new sound for a track is selected.
