The Digital Output will provide direct 44.1 kHz digital audio output of the Main Output mix when the current effect uses a 44.1 kHz sample rate. The Digital Input can be used for direct digital sampling from an external digital audio source at 44.1 or 48 kHz. The Digital Input and Output conforms to the S/PDIF standard. Note:

If you wish to record the 44.1 kHz digital output of the ASR-10 to a DAT recorder, the DAT recorder must be able to record from its digital input at 44.1 kHz. Some older/consumer DAT recorders do not record at 44.1 kHz as a copy protection scheme: these DAT recorders will not record the ASR-10’s 44.1 kHz digital output. 10) SCSI Interface This space is for the optional SP-3 SCSI kit that allows the ASR-10 to transfer data to and from a SCSI-compatible hard disk, CD ROM player, or exchange information with computers at very high speed.

11) Output Expander (AUX 1, 2, 3) This multi-pin connector is used to connect the optional OEX-6sr Output Expander box, which provides the ASR-10 with three pairs of stereo outputs (or 6 individual outs) in addition to the built-in stereo outputs. Each WaveSample, or an entire Instrument•Sequence Track , can be assigned to any of the three AUX stereo pairs and can be independently panned within the stereo field. 12) Mic/Line Switch This switch is used to change between either a mic (up) or a line (down) level input source. 13) Input Level Trim Control This knob allows you to amplify the level of the external signal source.
