Usage Tips
●
When building a song segment (recording and then re-recording over the same sec-
tion), you will want to use a scene to store the environment that exists at the start
of the section, so that you can recall the environment before re-recording from the
start of that segment.
●
When building a song, you may want to use scenes to hold current settings as
you continue to adjust these settings.
●
You may want to set up multiple scenes temporarily as possible alternatives. You
can then recall each scene and see which one you like, and delete the ones you
don’t think you will use.
●
It’s easy to move the content of one scene into another. Assume you want to move
the content of scene D into the TOP scene, for example. Simply set the sequencer
into PLAY STANDBY, press the Scene D button briefly to recall scene D, and then
hold down the TOP scene button to copy the settings into the top scene.
Reviewing and Revising Scene Content
After you have stored a scene, you may at some point want to review or revise its set-
tings. You can carry out the review simply by recalling the (scene/setting in PLAY or
PLAY STANDBY) and checking each one of the settings. Change any of the settings
that you are not happy with, then store the results back into the same scene.
Additional Information About Scenes
●
Remember that SCENE-button actions that you record into the song are not
quantized. There is no way to adjust the timing of a recorded scene-recall
event. (If you are unhappy with the timing, delete or undo the event and then
record it again.)
●
The SU700 does not provide any indication to tell you whether a scene is currently
empty. The best way to check whether a scene is empty is to set various knob set-
tings to unusual values and then briefly press the scene button. If none of the knob
settings changes, then the scene in empty.
●
If you change the song position using , , or the dial while the sequencer is
playing the song (in PLAY mode), the sequencer will execute all recorded knob and
pad events that you pass, but will not execute recorded scene-change events.
●
Scene data is lost at power-off. If you wish to save you scenes, you must save all
SU700 content to a volume on disk. (
