330 SU700 Usage Hints
How can I get good distortion sounds?
●
Apply distortion-type effects (such as DISTORTION and AMP SIM ).
●
If you want to build distortion directly into a sample: First set the effects to get the
distortion you want, and then resample the result onto another track.
●
Using the SAMPLE | PROCESS/ NORMALIZE job, normalize the sample to a value
greater than 100%.
I’d like to get a rougher, lo-fi sound:
●
Apply an appropriate lo-fi effect (such as LO RESO or ATK LOFI).
●
Use resampling to capture the sound of lo-fi effects directly into a sample.
●
Use the SAMPLE | PROCESS/ BIT CONVERT or FREQ CONVERT jobs to reduce
the sample resolution or sampling frequency.
I notice that the JOB/[KNOB RESET] button changes the sound more than I expected.
You may have been using a filter type other than LPF.
I’m running out of sample memory.
●
Try saving you data to floppy disk and then reloading it.
●
Use the SAMPLE | PROCESS/ TRIM job to delete the unused leading and trailing
ends from your samples.
●
Use the SAMPLE | PROCESS/ STEREO TO MONO job to convert stereo samples to
mono.
●
Use the SAMPLE | PROCESS/FREQ CONVERT or BIT CONVERT job to reduce
sample resolution or sampling frequency on some or all of your current samples.
I want the sample to continue playing even after I release the pad.(The track contains a
snare sound; I want the entire sound to play out even if I touch the pad only briefly.)
●
Set a high release value (using the SOUND/[RELEASE] knob function.
The track’s playback volume is too low even though the LEVEL setting is at its maxi-
mum.
●
You probably set the gain too low when recording the sample.
●
Use the SAMPLE | PROCESS/ NORMALIZE job to increase the sample’s volume.
I recorded some note-on and note-off events into the song, but the events are not repro-
duced during playback.
●
You tried recording events over recorded ribbon scratch action.
The SU700 ignores note events that occur while a scratch event is in progress.
When recording songs, do not record note events and ribbon scratch events on the
same area of the track.
