How to Set the Quantize Value
To change the quantize setting, proceed as follows. Note that you can change the
quantize setting at any time when working at the main screen or a function screen,
regardless of the sequencer’s current state.
Note that the quantize setting is a temporary state (
→
p.137); it cannot be saved into
scenes or onto disk. The SU700 simply retains the current setting until you change it
or switch the power off.
1. Hit any pad-function selector, any of the four knob-function buttons that support
this feature, or (if you are currently working at a function screen) any pad. The
NOTE area of the screen will then display QUANTIZE=setting (where setting is
either a note image or else is blank, indicating that quantizing is off).
2. Press the [NOTE] button (if necessary) so that the QUANTIZE area is blinking.
3. Turn the dial to adjust the value.
The default value (at power-on) is blank (quantizing off).
Using Scenes
Scenes are an extremely important feature of the SU700. This feature makes it pos-
sible for you to prepare and then instantly recall entire setup environments, both
within your recording and during performance. You will probably use scenes exten-
sively both while building and while performing your songs. The SU700 allows you to
store up to eight scenes for each song.
What Do I Use Them For?
●
To store a “top” or “startup” environment, so that you can be sure that the song will
always begin replay using the same setup. If you do not store a top scene, the setup
used at the start of song replay will be more or less unpredictable. (See “What is a
Top Scene...,” below.)
