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.

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.

Connect up headphones or an output audio device. (See page 10.)

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.

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.

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

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 .

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.)

Press the pad again, and sample’s playback resumes. (During Loop-Track Play, the pads for your loop sample act in the same way as mixer MUTE buttons.)

Tap three or four times.

Press the [LOOP TR PLAY] button again to stop sample playback.

LOOP TR

PLAY

Now that you have switched off loop-track play, try pressing pads 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 one at a time. Notice that these pads are all set to different tempos. During loop-track play, the SU200 automatically synchronizes the playback so that they all play out at the same tempo.

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.

Quick Start

Applying Effects or Filter to Realtime Audio Input

The “Audio In” feature lets you pass sound from a CD player, MD player, or other audio device through the SU200. You can switch the sound throughput on and off, and mix it with playback from sample pads 1 to 8. You are also free to apply an effect or ﬁlter to the sound as it passes through the SU200.

Make the necessary connections.

Switch off the SU200 and connect up a CD player or other audio source device. Also connect up an audio output device such as powered speakers or headphones. (See page 10.)

Switch on the power to the audio devices and to the SU200.

Start playback from the audio input device, and the press the AUDIO IN pad on the

Recording trigger level

ABC D E

As you can see, recording starts when the input level hits the recording trigger level for the ﬁrst time. At higher trigger levels, you will require a higher input level to start the recording. It is important to avoid setting the trigger level too low: at low trigger levels, recording start may be triggered too soon by unintentional noise (room noise, noise on the line, etc.).

You can stop playback by pressing the same pad or the [HOLD] button once again.

Loop-Track Play

Use this feature to play loop samples from multiple pads simultaneously. The basic operation was described in the Quick Start tutorial (see page 18). This section explains some impor tant issues related to this type of playback.

• Bass-phrase samples or bouncing rhythm-phrase samples may produce noise when used with

NOTE

Loop Track Play. An alternative approach in such cases is to use the job mode's time-stretch feature (instead of Loop Track play) to synchronize the BPMs of the samples you want to play together. Note, however, that if you do this, you will not be able to adjust the sample BPMs in real time).

Changing the loop-track playback tempo (BPM)

You can freely adjust the tempo used for loop-track play. The basic operation was described in the Quick Start tutorial (see Step 3 on page 18). Please note the following points.

• The SU200 remembers the most recent loop-track playback tempo. When you resume loop-track play, the tempo restarts where it left off. (The tempo setting is retained even after the power is switched off.)

• Some tempo distortion may occur if all of the selected loop samples are EXLG (extra long).

Changing the sample’s tempo (bar-length) setting

The SU200 lets you set a sample’s loop length to 1 bar or 2 bars (1 bar = 1 measure). This setting affects Loop-Track Play only. If you set the length to 1 bar, the sample loops once every bar. If you set the length to 2 bars, the sample slows down and loops once every two bars.

For example, assume that you have set pads 1 and 2 for loop playback (see page 29).

●

If pad 1 and pad 2 are both set to 1bar, Loop-Tray Play looks like this:

Pad 1 Pad 2

Loop 1 Loop 2 Loop 1 Loop 2

Chapter 2 Playing the Pads

Page 33

●

If pad 1 is set to 2bar while pad 2 is still set to 1bar:

Pad 1 Pad 2

Loop 1

Loop 1 Loop 2 Loop 3 Loop 4

Loop 2

You can change the bar-length setting from Pad-Play mode; simply select the pad and then press [-1/NO] or [+1/YES] to switch the setting. Note that the bpm (beats-per-minute) setting changes accordingly.

–1/NO

ENGLISH

Try changing some of the bar settings. Press the [LOOP TR PLAY] button after making each change, so that you can hear how the sound changes.

• You cannot convert from 1-bar to 2-bar if the 1-bar sample has a bpm above 115. You cannot

NOTE

convert from 2-bar to 1-bar if the 2-bar sample has a bpm lower than 120.

Switching an effect to a different pad without changing the playback state

To switch the effect to a different pad during Loop-Track Play without changing the playback state, hold down the [HOLD] button and press the pad that you want to move the effect to. Note that in this case the pad press will have no effect on the playback state of the pad’s sample (does not switch muting off or on, etc.). For more information, see page 36.

Controlling Loop-Track Play from a MIDI device

Chapter 4 Effects

You can use the SU200’s ribbon controller and EFFECT CONTROL knobs to apply an effect or ﬁlter to playback of any sample or to real-time audio input. The basic operation is described in the Quick Start tutorial (see page 17). This chapter provides a more detailed explanation about the effects, the ﬁlter, the scratch feature, and the time-stretch feature.

• The scratch effect cannot be used in combination with the TIME effect, but can be used with

NOTE

any of the other effects or ﬁlters.

• Effects, ﬁlters, and scratch do not operate during playback of high-grade samples.

Selecting the Pad that Receives the Effect or Filter

As explained in the Quick Start tutorial (see page 17), you select the pad that receives the effect (or ﬁlter) by (a) pressing the pad, and then (b) pressing the appropriate effect button. Note however, that pressing the pad also causes the pad’s sample to start or stop playback. In many cases—such as when you are in the midst of a performance and multiple pads are playing—you may want to move the effect to a different pad without starting or stopping playback of that pad’s sample. You can do this by holding down the [HOLD] button while pressing the pad.

The following example shows how this works. Assume that the effect is originally assigned to pad 1, and that pads 1 though 5 are playing, with all other pads silent.

● Hold down the [HOLD] button and press pad 2. This cancels the effect for pad 1 and moves the effect to pad 2. The

pad-2 sample continues playing. (Since you were holding [EXIT] down, playback did not stop when you pressed the pad.)

A-2

● Hold down the [HOLD] button again and press pad 7. The effect now moves to pad 7. Again, the pad-7 playback

state remains unchanged (the pad-7 sample remains off).

A-7

● Now hold down the [HOLD] button once again and press the AUDIO IN pad. The effect will now apply to your audio

input. The current audio-input state remains unchanged (in this case, remains off).

AUdIO

Pressing the [HOLD] button together with a pad also sets that pad as the “held” pad. (See page 32.)

Effects, Filter, and Scratch

As you can see from the panel, you are free to use any of the effects listed below. You can control the characteristics of each effect by turning EFFECT CONTROL knobs 1 and 2.

LOOP REMIX

About MIDI

What is MIDI?

MIDI (for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”) is a standard, internationally recognized interface for music-related digital communication among electronic instruments, computers, sequencers, and related devices. The interface allows different types of devices from different manufactures to exchange music performance data, music voice data, and other music-related information.

MIDI Channels

A single MIDI cable carries up to 16 channels of performance data. The channel concept is the same as with TV broadcasting: multiple channels are transmitted, and the viewer selects any one of these channels to be received. If you wish to control the SU200 from an external MIDI device, therefore, you need to set the SU200’s MIDI Receive channel to match the external device’s Send channel.

MIDI Features Supported by the SU200

Use the clock from an external sequencer to control the timing of Loop-Track Play.

●

External Sequencer (RM1x, etc.)

MIDI INMIDI OUT

• To use this feature, you need to set the SU200’s clock setting to EXT . (See page 39).

• In some cases, playback may not operate correctly if BPM is set to 60 or below.

Use an external keyboard to control pad play (to turn pads on and off).

●

MIDI Keyboard

MIDI INMIDI OUT

• To use this feature, you must set the keyboard’s output channel and the SU200’s receive channel to the same channel number. (See page 39.)

• The 24 white keys from C1 to E4 on the MIDI keyboard correspond to the SU200’s 24 virtual pads. (See next page.)

• Playback may be somewhat late if all of the playback samples are EXLG (extra long).

Chapter 6 Using Memory Cards

Handling the Memory Card(SmartMedia

TM*

)

Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.

* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

Compatible Memory Card Type

3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory Cards are not compatible with this instrument.

Memory Capacity

There are ﬁve types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the memory capacity exceeding 32MB can also be used if it conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Memory Card Card: another name of SmartMedia) Forum.

Inserting/Removing Memory Cards

•

To insert a Memory Card:

Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section (gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully insert the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it is ﬁtted in place.

• Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction.

NOTE

• Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot.

•

To remove a Memory Card:

Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to conﬁrm that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory Card out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being accessed*, a message (keep PwrOn) to indicate that it is in use appears on the instrument’s display.

* It includes saving, loading, formatting and deleting. Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically access

the Memory Card to check the media type when you enter job mode on.

CAUTION

• Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card and possibly the Memory Card itself.

Formatting Memory Cards

Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it must ﬁrst be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is unnecessary for you or not, beforehand.

• The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may become unusable with other instruments.

NOTE

Chapter 6 Using Memory Cards

About the Memory Cards

To handle Memory Cards with care:

• There are times when static electricity affects Memory Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts such as a door knob and aluminum sash. Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card slot when it is not in use for a long time. Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend or apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way. Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card or put any metallic plate onto the metal part. Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on the Memory Card, rendering it unreadable. Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect):

• To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of the Memory Card. Conversely speaking, to save data on the Memory Card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the Card. Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.

Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory Card is lost or damaged.

The batteries are running low and need to be replaced. For information about how to replace the batteries, see page 12. Upon displaying this message, the SU200 also sets on memory protection (see page 51), disabling all operations that write new data into memory and preventing entry into job mode. These operations remain disabled until the batteries are replaced.

Do not switch the power off while this message is on the display. Switching the power off at this time may cause loss or corruption of your data.

This message appears if SU200 sample memory becomes full while sample recording or resampling is in progress.

■Initializing the Memory

This message appears when you attempt to carry out sample recording, resampling, deletion, or extraction while memory protection is ON. (To enable these operations, you must switch protection OFF. See page 51.)

This message appears immediately following power-on if the SU200 detects corruption in its recorded data. This type of corruption can be caused, for example, by switching off power while the SU200 is in the process of writing data.

The SU200 does its best to restore the bad data, but it is possible that some or all of your recorded data may be lost. If you ﬁnd that the data is very corrupted, please reinitialize the SU200’s internal memory as shown below.

The SU200’s receive buffer became full during reception of MIDI data (the SU200 was not able to keep up with the incoming data load). To correct the problem, reduce the quantity of data you are transmitting to the SU200.

An error occurred during reception of MIDI data. Check the cable connections and the MIDI settings at the SU200 and at the sending side.

You attempted to execute a card-related operation while no memory card was present in the slot.

You attempted to execute a ﬁle-related memory card operation (load from card, or delete from card), but the ﬁle you speciﬁed does not exist on the card.

You attempted to save data into a memory card, but the card is already full. If you wish to save new data to the card, you must ﬁrst free up space by deleting one or more ﬁles from the card.

The SU200 was unable to write data to the memory card. This error occurs when you attempt to format or save to a memory card that is write-protected or damaged.

The memory card is damaged.

The SU200 does not support the memory card's format. (The card was formatted by another device and cannot be read by the SU200.)

The ﬁle on the memory card is corrupted or is unsupported.

Troubleshooting

Problem

No sound • 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.

Sound is distorted. • 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 distortion. (See page 36.)

• You may have set the input level too high when you were recording the sample.

Loop-Track Play doesn’t start when the [LOOP TR PLAY] button is pressed.

Cannot record samples. • Is LINE INPUT or MIC INPUT correctly connected? (See page

Cannot start sample recording (AUTO start).

Sample recording starts too soon (AUTO start).

Available sampling time seems too low.

Cannot control the SU200 from an external MIDI device.

Cannot play SU200 samples from an external MIDI keyboard.

• The clock setting may be set to EXT (see page 39).

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.
