PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them
in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha
service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or
place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss
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.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings.
Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old
ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries,
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.
■DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE
• Yamaha recommends that you regularly save data using
and storing the
Memory Cards
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA!
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or
modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

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.
