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.
• 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.)
• 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.
