<STEREO TO MONO>
This job changes a stereo sample (L-channel and R-channel waveforms) into a mon-
aural sample (one waveform). In most cases this operation will reduce the size of the
sample in memory, thereby increasing the amount of free memory available for addi-
tional sample recording. The amount of size reduction will depend on the size of each
channel’s waveform and the type of conversion you select.
This operation is available on stereo samples only.
After processing the waveform, the SU700 gives you a chance to listen to the results
to determine whether you wish to keep the change. If you are not pleased with the
sound you can cancel the job and retain the original waveform.
You can select from four types of conversion, as follows.
CH=L Deletes the right-channel data. Retains the left-channel data only.
CH=R Deletes the left-channel data. Retains the right-channel data only.
CH=L+R Mixes the left-channel and right-channel waveforms (and reduces
the resulting level by 3dB).
CH=L-R Subtracts the right-channel waveform from the left-channel wave-
form, thereby canceling out the sound component common to both
channels. This may be useful, for example, when you want to cancel
out a vocal component to produce a karaoke-type instrumental. The
effectiveness of this type of conversion depends on the content of the
original sample.
Procedure
Be sure that you have selected the song containing the sample(s) you want to work on.
1.
Press SAMPLE | PROCESS.
The track brackets indicate the currently selected sample track. The screen briefly
displays PROCESS, and then displays the name of the last process job that you se-
lected.
2.
If the screen displays a job name other than STEREO TO MONO, turn the dial so that
the name changes to SAMPLE TO MONO.
3.
Press [OK].
