Features
The SU700 is an ideal tool for artists in need of sampling and sequencing capabilities
for their recording and performance work. Here is just an abbreviated list of what’s
included.
Forty-two tracks. With 40 sample tracks plus 2 special tracks, you can make your
songs as complex as you wish.
Three different sample track types. LOOP tracks that generate automatic con-
tinuous loops; COMPOSED LOOP tracks that let you build your own custom loop
phrases; and FREE tracks that are ideal for adding fills and playing along in real
time.
AUDIO IN track lets you mix realtime vocals into your songs. You can control
the sound of the realtime audio using both the knob functions and the effects.
Intuitive, playable controls. Use pads and knobs to control an astonishing num-
ber of functions on each track. You can record all control actions as sequence data,
or you can apply controls on the fly during realtime performance. Special ribbon
controller can be set to “scratch out” samples, or can be set to control level, pitch,
or virtually any other parameter.
Powerful sampling capability. Provides high-quality sampling at any of five dif-
ferent sampling frequencies.
Triple-block effect system applies up to three effects at any given time. Select
from a total of 43 great-sounding Yamaha effects. Set effect parameters for the
effect itself, for the effect block, and for each track.
Scene memory stores up to eight scenes. Each scene holds an entire set of knob
settings, mute settings, and effects. You can recall scenes instantly during perfor-
mance, and you can record scene changes directly into your song.
Ample MIDI support. Use an external sequencer to control and synchronize
SU700 track play; or use the SU700 to control playback from an external tone gen-
erator.
Easily expandable. Supports up to 64MB of expansion memory. Optional SCSI
board (ASIB1) enables connection to external SCSI storage device. Optional I/O ex-
pansion board (AIEB1) adds digital and optical input/out and six assignable analog
outputs.
Colorful, easy-to-read fluorescent display gives you all the feedback you need to
maintain full control of the SU700’s power.
