SU700 Usage Hints 329
I want to adjust the content of an existing scene.
1. Recall the scene.
2. Make the required adjustments.
3. Store the scene back into the same location (the same scene button).
Changing the scene abruptly cuts off the current effect sounds (reverb, delay, etc.).
Effects set up within the new scene take a while to become audible.
●
It may take the SU700 a few moments to switch the effects. Avoid changing the
scene while reverb or other prolonged effect sound is still audible.
●
After changing the setup, wait a few moments before playing tracks that depend on
the new effects.
How can I quickly select a track for solo play?
Switch the mute on for the MASTER track (so that all tracks are muted), then switch
the mute off on the track you want to use for solo play.
How can I get good centering on realtime audio input supplied through a microphone
(or other single-channel connection)?
Apply a mono-input insertion effect.
Examples:
●
Use the ROTARY effect, with DEPTH=0, LOW GAIN=0, HI GAIN=0, LEVEL=70.
●
Use the AUTO PAN effect, with L/R DEPTH=0 , F/R DEPTH=0 , LEVEL=127 .
I want to set up pads so that I can use them to play different notes (pitches) of the same
“instrument.”
●
Use the TRACK EDIT | TRACK COPY job to copy the same sample onto consecu-
tive tracks, and adjust pitch settings so that the pitch increases as you move from
one pad to the next.
Example:
1. Record (or load) an appropriate bass sample onto the first FREE track (FREE 1).
2. Press SOUND/[PITCH] on the Knob Function panel, and adjust the
PITCH value
to get the first sound in your scale. (Example: PITCH=00 )
3. Copy the sample from on FREE 1 onto each of the other FREE tracks in the bank
(FREE 2, 3, and 4).
4. Set a higher PITCH value on FREE 2. (Perhaps PITCH=20 ).
5. Set an even higher PITCH value on FREE 3. (Perhaps PITCH=25 ).
6. Set a still higher PITCH value on FREE 4. (Perhaps PITCH=35 ).
The sequencer doesn’t start playback or recording when I press the button.
●
The SU700 will not respond to the button if you have set it to work with exter-
nal synchronization. To restore local control, set the SYNC value (in the SYSTEM
| MIDI job) to INTERNAL.
