Quick Start; Playing Samples - Yamaha SU200 Owner's Manual

Playing Samples

The SU200 comes with samples recorded for all pads. You are now ready to start using the pads to
play these prerecorded samples.
Z
Make the necessary connections.
Connect up headphones or an output audio device. (See page 10.)
X
Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch on the SU200's rear panel.
The SU200 displays YAMAHA SU200 and then enters Pad-play mode.
You can turn the power off by pressing the switch a second time.
CAUTION
• Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to the
instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the SU200 for a long time,
make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the
batteries from the instrument.
C
Pressing each pad plays a different sample.
For example, try pressing and holding pad 1.
Notice that the pad lights up and that a drum rhythm pattern repeats (loops) as long as the pad is held
down. The playback stops when the pad is released.
Next, try pressing pad 8.
The pad lights up and you hear a cymbals sample, which plays once through and then stops.
Notice that pad 1 is set for loop play: it continues to play the sample repeatedly as long as it is held
down. Pad 8 is set for one-shot play: it plays the sample once through only. You are free to set each pad
to play either loop or one-shot, and you can change the setting any time you wish. (See page 29.)
NOTE • The SU200 provides eight pads and three banks,
allowing you to store and play up to 24 samples.
(Switching the bank changes you to a whole dif-
ferent set of samples.) In the examples given here
we are using bank A.
• The SU200 can play a maximum of 6 standard (or
lower) grade monaural samples at one time, or up
to 2 high-grade samples at one time. The maxi-
mum number may decline, however, when using
the scratch or time stretch.
