Now try moving to different song locations. Press [FWD/>>] to move forward
through the song, [BWD/<<] to move back, or [TOP] to jump back to the top of
the song. (These operations are available only while song playback is stopped.)
The LCD meter always shows the current location in the song. You can begin
playing from any position by pressing [PLAY].
Song playback operates exactly as if you were playing the pads at the console
in real time. The only exception is that song action is never transmitted over MIDI
OUT. In all other respects, playing a song is functionally equivalent to pressing and
releasing the corresponding pads.
• You are free to combine pad play with song play. But you should avoid pressing a
pad while the corresponding sample is being sounded from within a song, since
this will cause the song sample to shut off.
• Song playback is available with FILTER, CROSSFADE, and PITCH play. These
effects apply to song samples just as they do to pad-played samples.
• Avoid using [HOLD] while a song is sounding, as the HOLD action will apply to
the sounding samples. Since HOLD acts as a toggle switch, it may cause some
samples to stay on too long while shutting others off immediately.
• Stopping a song at midpoint switches off all currently playing song samples. If
you then restart from the same point, the interrupted samples do not resume. In
general, the sound at any given timepoint within the song (as indicated by the
time meter) may vary according to where you started the replay.
• The SU10's polyphony determines the maximum number of sounds that can play
out at once. Playing a song with FILTER or SCRATCH, or at HI sampling grade,
may cause some of its sounds to drop out. Combining pad and song action may
also cause sounds to drop out.
• If you edit or delete any of the samples used by the song, the song's sound changes
accordingly.
