of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear
to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do
not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place
it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug
itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing
so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker,
since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove
the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should
come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and
consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or
chemical burns.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for
all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume
levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum
levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat
(such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or
speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the
other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents,
cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic
or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use
(4)-7
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only.
Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never
insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable
volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing
loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

What is Sampling?
The SU200 records sound from a microphone or from input from a CD player or similar audio device. This
recording process is called sampling , and the recorded sounds are called samples . You can record a sample
into each pad, and play the sample back by pressing the pad. The SU200 can store up to 24 samples (3 banks
×
8 pads) in its internal memory.
Samples are stored in digital form, just like recordings on an audio CD. The SU200 is capable of CD-quality
recording.

SU200 Features
The SU200 provides more than just standard sampling. This page introduces you to some of the
special features included on the SU200.
Loop-Track Play: Play loop samples in unison, all at the same tempo (BPM)
■
( → Pages 18, 32)
Although each sample has its own tempo setting, you can use this feature to play out multiple
samples all at the same tempo. (You can also use an external MIDI clock to synchronize the playback.)
Powerful Effects and Filter ( → Pages 17, 36)
■
Use the Loop Remix effect to rearrange break beats in real time. Or select from other dynamic
effects, or apply a filter. You can control the characteristics of each effect using the ribbon controller and Effect Control knobs.
Clear User Interface
■
• The backlit display makes it easy to view your panel settings.
• Pads light up when pressed, so that you can easily see which pads are playing.
• Effect buttons ([DIST] to [FILTER]) and the [SCRATCH] button light up when pressed, so that
you can easily identify the effect that is currently selected.
Apply effects and filtering to realtime audio input (
Apply filtering or an effects (TECH MOD, DIST/LO-FI, or DELAY) to input from an external
audio source.
Includes resampling capability (
Mix multiple samples (together with effects, scratch, and filter) and record the result as a single
new sample.
Includes a memory-card slot (
Use a memory card (SmartMedia card) to save and load sample data or WAV files.
Allows simultaneous playback of samples recorded at different grades
You can record a sample in any of four grades (quality levels). This allows you to economize on
memory: use low grades for sounds that are not affected by the quality level, and use high grades
for sounds that require high resolution (cymbal sounds, etc.). You can play all of these samples
back at the same time.
Can operate on battery power
You can use the SU200 outdoors and in other locations where power connections are not available.

Modes
The SU200 has three main operating modes.
●
Pad-Play Mode
The SU200 enters this mode immediately following power-on. This is the mode you use to play and edit
your samples. All operating procedures presented in this manual assume that you are starting from
Pad-Play mode.
●
Sampling Mode
This is the mode you use to record samples. You enter this mode by pressing the [REC] button, so that
the REC indication appears in the display.
ENGLISH
●
Job Mode
You use this mode to make various settings: pad settings, memory-card settings, and so on. You enter
this mode by pressing the [JOB] button.
• If you lose track of the current mode when working at the panel, you can return to Pad-Play
NOTE
mode by pressing the [EXIT] button one or more times (depending on the mode you are currently in).

Quick Start
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.
Make the necessary connections.
Z
Connect up headphones or an output audio device. (See page 10.)
Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch on the SU200’s rear panel.
X
The SU200 displays YAMAHA SU200 and then enters Pad-play mode.
You can turn the power off by pressing the switch a second time.
STANDBY
ON
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 remov e the
batteries from the instrument.
Pressing each pad plays a different sample.
C
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.)
• The SU200 provides eight pads and three banks,
NOTE
16
allowing you to store and play up to 24 samples.
(Switching the bank changes you to a whole different 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 maximum number may decline, however, when using
the scratch or time stretch.

Using Loop-Track Play
Use this feature to play loop samples from multiple pads simultaneously. The SU200 temporarily
adjusts the tempo settings for each sample so that all of these samples play out at the same tempo
(the same BPM setting).
• Some samples may produce noise when used with Loop Track Play.
NOTE

Press the [LOOP TR PLAY] (“Loop Track Play”) button.
Pads currently set for loop playback all begin playing in an endless loop. This operation is referred to as
Loop-Track Play .

When you set this button on, all samples currently set for loop playback
begin playing out continuously, and the corresponding pads light up. All
samples currently set to one-shot play remain off, and their pads remain
dark. (See page 29.)

Press one of the pads that is currently playing (that is currently lit up).
The pad goes dark, and the sample goes off. (The sample is muted.)

Note that it is also possible to synchronize sample playback using an external MIDI clock. To use these
feature, you need to set the SU200 for an external MIDI clock (using Job mode) and you need to connect a MIDI clock device to the SU200’s MIDI IN connector.
