If Scratch: If you set the ribbon to control the scratch function, the SU700 maps the
first part of the sample along the span of the ribbon, starting from the bottom of the
ribbon. If you set your finger on the bottom of the ribbon and run it upwards, you
can scratch out the sound in the forward direction. If you run your finger in the other
direction, you can scratch the sound out backwards.

Recording Ribbon Events
Any ribbon action you apply during song recording will be recorded, just like regular
knob action, into the corresponding track. If you select a knob function that supports
quantizing ( p.174), then the ribbon-generated input will be quantized. If you use
the "scratch" function on a looping track (LOOP or COMPOSED LOOP track), the
handling is the same as for a pad "roll": the scratch sound temporarily cancels out the
loop sound.
Using Ribbon Controller in Real Time
You can use the ribbon controller while the sequencer is in STANDBY or PLAY mode
to adjust the knob setting or to scratch out the sound. Note that if you use the scratch
function while the song is playing, the handling is the same as for a pad "roll": the
scratch sound temporarily cancels out the sound recorded on the track.
