CHAPTER 1

2 TRACK BANK Selectors

You use the track bank selectors in combination with the sample track pads to se-

lect tracks for playback, recording, editing, and control.

The SU700 provides four track banks, each with ten sample tracks. This gives you

a total of 40 sample tracks. This means that each song can utilize anywhere from

1 to 40 samples.

3 Sample Track Pads

You use these 10 pads to control play on the sample tracks, and to select tracks for

sample recording, track editing, and track setup.

Each pad can be used to control a variety of operations. At any given time, each

pad controls a single operation only. You can switch the pad operation using the

PAD FUNCTION selectors (see item 5 below).

The pads for COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks include velocity sensors that

are effective for PLAY and LOOP RESTART pad functions. (→ p.167, 301)

4 AUDIO IN Track Pad

You use this pad to set or release the mute for the AUDIO IN track, or to select the

AUDIO IN track during setup work.

5 MASTER Track Pad

Use this pad to set or release the mute on all other tracks, to restart looping on the

LOOP and COMPOSED LOOP tracks, or to select the MASTER track during setup

work.

6 PAD FUNCTION Selectors

The pad function selectors select the operation to be controlled by the pad.

Each track has a default pad function that is effective whenever you are working

at the main screen. You can set these defaults using the TRACK SET | MAIN job

(→ p. 231).

You can override the defaults by pressing any of these selectors during song re-

cording, playback, or standby. This will switch you to a function screen and will

cause all pads to switch to the selected function.

For detailed information about pad functions and their selection, see page 166.

For information about the difference between the main screen and the function

screens, see page 144.

Chapter 1

SU700 Components, Connections, and Startup

16 Chapter 1 SU700 Components, Connections, and Startup

7 Knobs

You use these knobs to control the values of multiple parameters (or knob settings)

on each track. At any given time each knob controls a single parameter only. You

use the KNOB FUNCTION panel (see item 9 below) to switch the parameter con-

trolled by the knobs.

When you are working the main screen, each knob controls its default parameter.

You can set these default separately for each track using the TRACK SET | MAIN

job (→ p.231).

8 [RIBBON TRACK] Button

You use this button when you want to change the track(s) controlled by the rib-

bon. You select the track(s) by holding down the button and pressing the appro-

priate pad.

If you press the pad for a sample track, then the ribbon will work on all four

tracks associated with that pad (the tracks in Banks 1, 2, 3, and 4 for that pad). If

you press the pad for the AUDIO IN or MASTER track, then the ribbon will oper-

ate on that track only.

9 NOTE Display and Button

The bottom right corner of the display indicates relevant Quantize or Resolution

interval. If necessary, you can adjust the setting by pressing the [NOTE] button

(so that the indication starts blinking) and then turning the dial. Intervals are in-

dicated using note images (

, , etc.).

Exception: To set the resolution for the ROLL pad function, you must first press the

[NOTE] button, and then hold down the [ROLL] button while turning the dial.

0 BPM Display and Button

The center right line of the screen indicates the song’s current tempo, in BPM

(beats per minute). You can change the tempo by pressing the [BPM] button (so

that the BPM indication starts blinking) and then turning the dial.

A MEASURE Display and Button

The top right corner of the screen indicates the current song location, by measure

and beat. One way to change the location is to use the

, , and buttons, as

described above. Another way is to press the [MEASURE] button (so that the mea-

sure indication starts blinking) and then turn the dial.

B Ribbon Controller

You can set the ribbon up to control a single selected function with respect to a

single pad. You select the track set using the [RIBBON TRACK] button; see be-

low.

Chapter 1 SU700 Components, Connections, and Startup 17

CHAPTER 1

Once you have set this up, you can rub your finger along the ribbon to control the

selected function on the corresponding track. For example, if you set the function

to LEVEL then you use the ribbon to adjust the level on the track.

Available functions include most of the knob functions, and a special scratch func-

tion that lets you scratch out the sound of a selected track—the same kind of

sound that you would get by manually turning a vinyl record forward or back-

ward. For more information about ribbon use, see page 172.

C [CANCEL] and [OK] Buttons

Use these buttons to confirm or cancel various operations, or to move forward or

backward through the various job screens. Actual operation varies according to

the SU700’s current state.

D Dial

Use this dial to enter and adjust various values. Actual operation varies according

to the SU700’s current state. The value that can be adjusted by the dial is usually

shown in blinking format on the display.

E [BPM COUNTER] button

This button makes it easy to set the tempo to match the tempo of external play-

back that you may be preparing to record or play along with. To get a tempo read-

ing, simply tap on the counter along with the beat (hitting the counter once at

each beat). The SU700 detects a BPM value from your taps, and flashes this value

in the BPM area on the screen. If you wish to keep the new tempo, press [OK]. (If

you do not press [OK], the SU700 will restore the previous setting.)

F Cursor Buttons (

and )

Use these buttons to move the cursor position when editing names on the screen,

or to move from one parameter to another when working at setup screens con-

taining multiple parameters.

G MASTER VOLUME Knob

Turn the knob to adjust the output level to the STEREO OUT jacks. Note that this

adjustment does not affect the output level to any of the outputs on the optional

AIEB1 board.

H SAMPLING: STANDBY/START/STOP Button ([SAMPLING] button)

Use this button to begin and end sample recording. For details about how to

record samples, see the explanation beginning on page 156.

J [UNDO/REDO] Button

You use this button to undo or redo all changes that you recorded into your song

during your previous recording pass. This feature is useful for undoing poor re-

sults, or for comparing “before” and “after” versions to determine which you want

to keep. The [UNDO/REDO] button operates only while the sequencer is in PLAY

STANDBY mode. (→ p.183)

K Sequencer Controls

Use these buttons to control the sequencer. Button usage is outlined below. For

detailed information, refer to “Using the Sequencer,” (→ p.162). Also refer to

modes (→ p.139).

L Job Grid

You use these buttons to access various SU700 jobs. These jobs let you carry out

a wide variety of editing, setup, and management tasks.

To select a job, you first press one of the job group selectors along the top of the

grid, and then press one of the job selectors along the left of the grid. You can then

carry out the job using the dial, cursor buttons, [CANCEL] or [OK] buttons, and

any other relevant controls.

For detailed explanations of all jobs, refer to Chapter 10, “Jobs,” on page 223.

M [SCENE/MARKER] Buttons

Operation depends on whether you have selected [SCENE] or [MARKER] with

the scene/marker switch.

If SCENE: The SU700 lets you store up to eight scenes per song. A scene is an

entire environment of knob settings, mute settings, and effect set-

tings. To store the current environment, hold down one of the scene

buttons (from [TOP] to [G]) for approximately 1.5 seconds, until

the screen says SCENE STORED. To recall a scene, press the corre-

sponding scene button briefly.

CHAPTER 1

If you store a scene into the [TOP] button, this scene will automati-

cally be recalled when you return the song to its start position.

You can use the [INIT] scene button to initialize (clear) the content

of any scene. Simply hold down the [INIT] button and then press

the scene button that you want to initialize. (→ p.180)

Note that you can store and initialize scenes only while the se-

quencer is in PLAY or PLAY STANDBY mode. You can recall scenes

at any time.

For more information about scenes, refer to page 176.

If MARKER: Use markers [1] to [8] to store song positions or to immediately

jump the song to a stored position. These buttons only work while

the sequencer is in PLAY or PLAY STANDBY mode.

To store the current position, hold down one of the marker buttons

for about 1.5 seconds, until the screen says MARKER STORED. To

jump to that position, press the same button briefly.

N SCENE/MARKER Switch

Use this switch to select the operating mode of the [SCENE/MARKER] buttons.

Set the switch to the left if you want the buttons to control scenes; set to the right

if you want the buttons to control markers.

O KNOB FUNCTION Panel

When you press one of these buttons during song standby, recording, or playback,

the display automatically switches to the corresponding function screen, and all

knobs automatically get control of the selected parameter. You can adjust the

value on each track by turning the corresponding knob (and using the bank selec-

tors as necessary to switch the bank).

You can also use these buttons to make selections within certain jobs; for ex-

ample, to select the default knob functions for the TRACK SET | MAIN job.

For detailed information, refer to Chapter 8, page 193.

P Edit Function Panel

You can use these buttons to perform various tasks: to set up each of the three ef-

fect blocks, to switch off any of the effects, to reset knob settings on selected

tracks, and to insert or delete characters within a name you are editing. For de-

tailed information, see Chapter 9, page 213.
