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.
I SAMPLING: ANALOG LEVEL Knob
Turn this knob to adjust the input level when recording a sample from analog in-
put. The screen displays a level meter that will help you set an appropriate level.
