● About This Manual ● 1 1 About This Manual The purpose of this manual is to help you quickly master the operation of your SU10. Although compact, your SU10 offers a surprising array of playback, edit- ing, and utility functions. Y ou may need to refer to this manual fairly often in the beginning, but the concepts and operating principles shoul[...]

2 ● Precautions ● 2 Precautions PLEASE READ ALL PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR SU10. 1. NEVER switch power off while the LCD is displaying the Keep PwrOn mes- sage. This message indicates that the SU10 is writing to nonvolatile memory . Switching power off at this time may result in loss of all data in the SU10. In some cases this message may la[...]

● Overview and Basic Concepts ● 3 This chapter presents a very brief overview of basic concepts relevant to under - standing and operation of the SU10. What is the SU10? The SU10 combines the functions of a digital stereo phrase sampler with a variety of add-on features that significantly enhance its effectiveness in a performance environment. [...]

4 ● Overview and Basic Concepts ● Samples The SU10 stores up to 48 samples. A sample is a digital recording of an acoustic waveform (or two waveforms, if stereo), together with playback parameters that determine how the sound is played: the type of loop applied, the direction of playback, the start and end points, and so on. The following conce[...]

● Overview and Basic Concepts ● 5 Note that the quality of the recording improves as the rate of reading — called the sampling frequency — increases. Although higher sampling frequencies give bet- ter quality , they also consume more memory and therefore reduce available re- cording time. The maximum sampling rate available on the SU10 is 4[...]

6 ● Overview and Basic Concepts ● External Modes The SU10 also supports two “external” modes that are entirely independent of its sampling capability . These modes are provided primarily for live performance environments, and operate on an analog signal that passes through the SU10 in real time. Songs The SU10 includes a sequencing feature [...]

18 ● Playback ● 2. Hold down [PAD 3] briefly to play sample A3, then release the button to stop the sound. T ry this several times. If necessary , adjust the volume using the slider , the [-1] or [+1] button, or the volume controls on your external speakers or amp. ▼ Y ou will notice that the sample plays continuously while the button is held[...]

● Playback ● 19 HOLD SONG 1 1 3. Now try playing some other samples along with the held sample. Y ou can play from the same bank, or you can switch to some other bank. ▼ Remember that there is a limit to the number of samples you can play at one time. When y ou attempt to play too many samples, the SU10 will alw ays force off non-held samples[...]

20 ● Playback ● 2. If necessary , press [BANK] to change the bank. Then press the pad correspond- ing to the sample you want to play .

● Playback ● 21 Special Features II: Ribbon Controller The SU10’ s ribbon controller is probably its most distinctive feature. Y ou can use the ribbon to control pitch, filter , or crossfade during replay of samples and songs. Y ou can also use it to play a special “scratchpad” during sample play . Finally , you use the ribbon as an effec[...]

22 ● Playback ● Filter Pla y This feature applies a filter to samples and songs, with the ribbon providing dy- namic control of the filter cutoff frequency . Y ou select the filter type and reso- nance directly from within the filter -play function: the SU10 will remember the settings when you terminate filter play , then restore them when you [...]

● Playback ● 27 Playing a Song Y our SU10 can memorize and replay up to four songs . Each song is an arbitrary sample playback sequence that you have recorded into memory . The LCD always indicates the number of the currently selected song. When playing a song, you can choose to have the song play once only , or else repeat indefinitely until s[...]

28 ● Playback ● 3. Press [STOP] to interrupt the playback. 4. Press [PLAY] to resume playback from the point of interruption. 5. Press [STOP] to interrupt playback again. 6.

● Playback ● 29 External Performance Modes The external performance modes are an added feature that allow you to apply a dynamic filter or a DJ-like scratch effect to a realtime signal as it feeds through the SU10. Please keep in mind that these modes are not sampling modes, and have nothing to do with samples and songs as described above. Befo[...]

30 ● Playback ● External Filter This mode applies filtering to realtime input as it feeds through the SU10. Y ou use pads 1 to 4 to select or change the filter type, and pads 7 to 9 to select or change the resonance. Y ou use the ribbon to dynamically change the filter cutoff fre- quency . Procedure 1. Press [SHIFT] + [EXTERNAL FILTER] . The sc[...]

The section from the Loop Point to the End Point then plays out repeatedly . Actual wave start Actual wave end Start point End point Loop point Note that it is possible to set the Loop Point to an earlier positi[...]

● Editing ● 43 Please note the following important points. • The Loop Mode setting determines how playback proceeds while the sample is ON, but the Sounding Mode setting determines the sample’ s ON/OFF ac- tion. If Sounding Mode is set to “T rigger ,” the sample will not loop. • The Start Point, Loop Point, and End Point can all be ch[...]

44 ● Editing ● • Trggr ( T rigger -driven) Pressing the pad (or sending a MIDI Note On) causes the sample to play once through, from Start Point to End Point. The sample does not loop. (But if Loop Mode is set to RLoop or RShot the sample will play in reverse.) Pressing the pad again (or sending another MIDI Note On) while play is in progress[...]

● Editing ● 45 This feature is useful for • Preventing simultaneous play of clashing sounds. • Reducing risk of accidental sound dropouts caused by too many samples play- ing at once. • Operational efficiency: Y ou can use a single pad to simultaneously stop play of one sample and start play of another . This operation would otherwise re-[...]

46 ● Editing ● ST AR T POINT [ StPnt ] Purpose: Sets the playback start point. V alues: 0 ,...,(127 less than endpoint) T o set: T ouch the ribbon; or press or hold [–1] , [+1] .

When you enter this function, the LCD displays a message such as the follow- ing: SpltTo x x ? Change the destin[...]

52 ● Editing ● COMP A CT [ Compct ? ] Purpose To compact a sample means to remove all of its leading and trailing waveform data — that is, all waveform data existing ahead of the Start Point or Loop Point (whichever is first), as well as all data existing after the End Point. By clearing this extraneous data, you free some memory for addition[...]

● Editing ● 53 ▼ Y ou may notice that the Start Point (or Loop Point) value may not return to e xactly 0 follo wing compacting, but may be as high as 1 (for a stereo sample) or 3 (for a monaural sample). In the same way , the End Point may be 1 to 3 units ahead of the actual wa ve end. This is because the SU10 can only delete data in 2-unit ([...]
