I have an ASR X PRO w/ 8 outs in my studio linked to my PC through a JAZ drive (PC-->usb-->JAZ-->scsi-->ASR X) and basically I have Emulator X on my PC so i sample and chop up w/ my PC, then flip **** into the JAZ drive and can access it with my ASR X. My other ASR X is in the living room solo just SCSIed out to another JAZ, which I transport disks to and fro to bring samples from my PC to the living room. (its like a sketch pad, so I can chill and watch TV and hang while I bang out some butters, and then always bring that to the more complete setup and funk with it up there, plus it rols with when i travel).
Anyway, Im looking forward to this thread, as I need some tips and tricks to master the X.
All i can really advise you of is:
ASR X CITE seems to be a good web site for X users.

So I can be lazy and when I track things out, just push play and everything goes where it's supposed to. Dont you need the expander to control the volumes of each track in the ASR-X Pro?

s1ks said:In regards to the ASR X PRO being SCSIed out to a PC w/ WINXP:
Im really not sure if it would work as a direct link to the PC. What I intend to do is have a JAZ drive hooked up to my PC via USB and also to my ASR X PRO via SCSI. I will then have to dump files from the PC to the JAZ disk and then access the JAZ with the ASR X, its the best solution I could come up with, and JAZ drives sell for cheap on ebay nowadays, and hold upto 2 Gigs per disk. You can get JAZ drives for dirt, its the USB connect that will run you some $$$, but I feel for the convenience and storage capacity its well worth it.

It would not be a direct link from the ASR-X Pro to the pc. Linking the ASR to a drive via SCSI then the drive to the pc is the quickest way to transfer sounds from the pc. I have done this too, with a zip drive.
killahbeez said:Is the ASR-X Pro like the ASR-10 but in a drum machine form? does it have the same kick ass fetures like the ASR-10?
Sorry if it sounds stupid but I''m new to this.

That was the initial idea behind the ASR-X. It has a lot of the same features, minus the keyboard. The sequencers are different.
