3. Press to start song recording (to switch the sequencer into REC mode), and
get ready to press the CL1 pad to record the note event for your loop.
Watch the location indicator as the SU700 plays through the lead-in measures
and the first two measures of the song. Press the pad when the indicator is
reaches
003:1 , hold it for five beats, and release it just before the indicator
reaches 004:2 .
Allow the sequence to keep playing. Since the loop length is set to 16 beats, you
should now hear the note played every four measures (measure 7, measure 11,
and so on).
NOTE:
• Be aware that the SU700 quantizes the pad-press event (note-on event), but does not
quantize the pad-release event (note-off event). Provided that you hit the pad within a
one-eighth note interval on either side of 003:1, the SU700 will record the note-on
event at 003:1 exactly. But you want to be more precise when you release the pad,
since the SU700 will not adjust the timing of the note-off event.
• Since this is a looping track, you can record the pad input at any third measure in the
loop: 003:1, or 007:1, or 011:1, etc. (For more details about the COMPOSED LOOP
implementation, see page 136.)
• If the PAD SENS parameter (in the TRACK SETUP | SETUP job) is set to ON, the COM-
POSED LOOP and FREE track pads are velocity sensitive. This means that the loudness
of the recorded note will depend on the force with which you hit the pad (stronger
force produces a louder sound).
4. Press to stop recording.
◆ The sequencer stops recording. Press the button to return to the point at
which you started recording, and the main screen reappears.
Press the button to start playback, to determine whether the results are ac-
ceptable. Confirm that the sound of the CL1 track repeats every fourth mea-
sure (at 003:1, 007:1, 011:1, and so on). Then press
to stop the playback, re-
turning the SU700 to PLAY STANDBY mode.
● If you make a mistake while recording
The Undo function lets you cancel the result of a single recording operation (i.e.,
from stop
→
recording
→
stop). If you make a mistake while recording, press the
[UNDO/REDO] button once. All data recorded by the previous recording operation
will be cancelled, and you will return to the state prior to recording. If you then press
the [UNDO/REDO] button once again, the Undo operation itself will be cancelled. In
other words, the data will return to the state prior to when you pressed the [UNDO/
REDO] button.
