Reference
• Is your playback device (powered speakers, etc.) correctly con-
nected?
• The volume on the SU200 or the playback device may be set too
low.
• The pad volume setting (see page 51) may be too low.
• Check that batteries are correctly installed, or that the power
adaptor is correctly connected. (See page 12.)
• Are batteries fresh? If batteries are old, try replacing them.
• You may be trying to play an empty pad (a pad that does not
contain a recorded sample).
• Are the sample's start and end points set correctly?
• If you are using the filter, try changing the cutoff (see page 37).
Some cutoff settings may cause all sound to go off.
• The volume on the SU200 or the playback device may be set too
high.
• Are batteries fresh? If batteries are old, try replacing them.
• Use of an effect or filter at certain settings may produce distor-
tion. (See page 36.)
• You may have set the input level too high when you were
recording the sample.
• The clock setting may be set to EXT (see page 39).
• Is LINE INPUT or MIC INPUT correctly connected? (See page
10.)
• The Protect function may be on. (See page 53.)
• The trigger level may be set too high. (See page 23.)
• The trigger level may be set too low. (See page 23.)
Sampling memory is running low. You can economize on memory
use as follows.
• Reduce the sampling grade. (See pages 22, 24.)
• Record in MONO rather than STEREO. (See pages 22, 24.)
• Delete unnecessary samples. (See page 34.)
• Be sure that the SU200's MIDI channel setting matches the
channel setting of the external device. (See page 39.)
• Be sure that the clock setting is set to EXT . (See page 39.)
• Be sure that the SU200's MIDI channel setting matches the
channel setting of the external device. (See page 39.)
• Remember that the SU200's 24 virtual pads (3 banks
are mapped to the 24 white keys from C1 to E4 on the external
keyboard. Keys outside of this range do not produce any sample
playback.
