Saving an ALL-SESSION file can take a few minutes, since itÕs saving so many things. In our tutorial,
itÕs saving the following separate files. ItÕs saving:
¥
all of the sounds you created in RAMÑDanceKit_01, SMPL1, SMPL1_01, SMPL1_02 and
SMPL1_03.
¥
the waves you sampled.
¥
the current System/MIDI setup.
¥
a sequence bank containing your sequence.
¥
an ALL-SESSION file to keep track of all of the above files.
When the ALL-SESSION file has been saved, the ASR-X Pro returns to the display shown in Step 2,
with ÒMYFIRSTÓ now shown as the file name.

Since everything youÕve done has been saved to floppy, you can safely turn off your ASR-X Pro and
restore your music whenever you power it back up. In fact:
1.
Turn off your ASR-X Pro.
2.
Turn it back on.

Since everything you do in the ASR-X Pro is stored in its RAMÑand RAM is cleared when you power
downÑyour ASR-X Pro no longer holds anything youÕve done in the tutorial. You can press the Track
Sound button, select the *CUSTOM SoundFinder category and look for your sounds, or press the
Transport Play button to play the sequence to verify thisÑthereÕs nothing there. LetÕs load it all back in.
1.
Locate and press the Disk/Global Load button.
After the ASR-X Pro loads the floppyÕs directory, the display shows:
ThereÕs our ALL-SESSION file.
2.
Turn the parameter knob to see all of the different types of files that were saved when you saved the
ALL-SESSION file.
N N N N o o o o t t t t e e e e : : : : You wonÕt see the sequence bank file, since itÕs a type of file that can only be loaded as part
of an ALL-SESSION load.
3.
Select the ALL-SESSION file.
4.
Press the Yes button.
The ASR-X Pro loads everything youÕve done back into your ASR-X Pro. Start by playing the
currently selected sequence, and then press the Track Sound button and check out the sounds in the
*Custom SoundFinder category, as well as DanceKit_01Ñfrom the DRUM-KIT category.
