Chapter 1 Recording Samples

This chapter explains how to record samples. You can record samples using either automatic start
(AUTO) or manual start (MANUAL). You can also re-record existing samples (resampling).

Recording a Sample (AUTO start)

Z
Make the connections required for sample recording. (See page 10.)
• If you connect up both LINE INPUT and MIC INPUT, the SU200 records from the MIC INPUT
NOTE
only. If you wish to record from LINE INPUT, be sure that the MIC INPUT jack is left empty.
X
Switch off all pads, and then press the [REC] button to enter Sampling mode.
Pressing the [REC] button a second time will move you to manual-start recording.
You can escape from Sampling mode by pressing the [EXIT] button.
C
Press the pad into which you want to record your new sample. (See page 20.)
If you wish to change the bank, press the appropriate bank button before selecting the pad.
NOTE • If a sample is already recorded on the pad you select, the display asks whether to delete it (as
in "Delete B-1?"). Press [+1/YES] to delete the existing sample, or [-1/NO] to cancel and
retain the existing sample.
V
Adjust settings as necessary. Select STEREO or MONO, and set the grade.
For more information about grades, see page 11.
• Remember that the SU200 can play a maximum of 6 MONO samples (or 2 high-
NOTE
grade MONO samples) at one time. A STEREO sample counts as two MONO sam-
ples.
• If you are recording from line input and have selected MONO, you should connect
the line from your audio source to the LINE INPUT (L) jack.
• Clicking noise may occur while settings are being changed. It is recommended that you
reduce the volume before adjusting the settings.
B
Adjust the input level by pressing the [-1/NO] or [+1/YES] button.
Input the sound that you are planning to record (through LINE or MIC input) while watching the
input-level meter on the display. If the indicated level is too high or too low, adjust by pressing [-1/NO]
or [+1/YES] as necessary.
–1/NO
• Clicking may occur during adjustment.

Chapter 1 Recording Samples
Recording automatically starts when the input level reaches a specified trigger level. This is
the method you used when recording your voice during the Quick Start tutorial. (See
directly below.)
Recording starts immediately when you press the [START/STOP] button. (See page 24.)
Use this feature to record from the SU200's own output. This feature allows you to mix mul-
tiple samples (together with effects, scratch, and filter) and record the result as a single new
sample. (See page 26.)
