CHAPTER 1
2 TRACK BANK Selectors
You use the track bank selectors in combination with the sample track pads to se-
lect tracks for playback, recording, editing, and control.
The SU700 provides four track banks, each with ten sample tracks. This gives you
a total of 40 sample tracks. This means that each song can utilize anywhere from
1 to 40 samples.
3 Sample Track Pads
You use these 10 pads to control play on the sample tracks, and to select tracks for
sample recording, track editing, and track setup.
Each pad can be used to control a variety of operations. At any given time, each
pad controls a single operation only. You can switch the pad operation using the
PAD FUNCTION selectors (see item 5 below).
The pads for COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks include velocity sensors that
are effective for PLAY and LOOP RESTART pad functions. ( p.167, 301)
4 AUDIO IN Track Pad
You use this pad to set or release the mute for the AUDIO IN track, or to select the
AUDIO IN track during setup work.
5 MASTER Track Pad
Use this pad to set or release the mute on all other tracks, to restart looping on the
LOOP and COMPOSED LOOP tracks, or to select the MASTER track during setup
work.
6 PAD FUNCTION Selectors
The pad function selectors select the operation to be controlled by the pad.
Each track has a default pad function that is effective whenever you are working
at the main screen. You can set these defaults using the TRACK SET | MAIN job
( p. 231).
You can override the defaults by pressing any of these selectors during song re-
cording, playback, or standby. This will switch you to a function screen and will
cause all pads to switch to the selected function.
For detailed information about pad functions and their selection, see page 166.
For information about the difference between the main screen and the function
screens, see page 144.
