Chapter 8 Knob Functions

PITCH

Range:

-128

to

+127

Default:

+000

Works on: Sample tracks

Adjusts the pitch of the sample playback. Turn the knob right to increase the pitch, or
left to reduce it. Each increment corresponds to 20 cents (where 100 cents is equiva-
lent to 1 semitone).

On LOOP tracks only: If you set the track’s

BPM TRACKING

to

CHNG PITCH

, this

function is disabled and the SU700 automatically controls the pitch so as to match
the tempo. In this case the numerical setting is indicated on the screen as “---” and
the meter indication is fixed at the zero level. (Refer to the explanation of the TRACK
SET | SETUP job on page 236.)

ATTACK

Range:

000

to

127

Default:

Loop: 024
C-Loop, Free: 000

Works on: Sample tracks

Applies a fade-in to the sample. Higher values increase the length of the fade; 000 ap-
plies no fade at all.

A fade-in refers to a gradual rise in the sample level, starting at the note-on event (or
pad press). The following illustration shows the concept.

Attack=0 (No fade-in)
