Playback
2. Hold down [PAD 3] briefly to play sample A3, then release the button to stop
the sound. Try 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.
You will notice that the sample plays continuously while the button is held, then stops when the
button is released. This is because this sample’s sounding mode is set to “Note Driven” (ON
when pressed, OFF when released), and the loop mode is set to “Whole Loop.” See pages 41, 43.
3. Now tap [PAD 11] very briefly to start play of sample A11.
Notice that playback does not stop when you release the pad, but continues to the end of the
sample. This is because the sample’s sounding mode is set to “Trigger.” (See page 44.)
4. Now try playing several samples at once.
The number of samples that can be played together at one time is referred to as the polyphony.
The SU10 can play a maximum of four monaural samples at once, although the number drops if
you select HI sampling grade or use the scale, scratch, filter, or crossfade features. If you try
playing too many samples at once, certain samples drop out. For more information about po-
lyphony, see page 26 below.
Special Play Features I
Now let’s try some of the SU10’s special playback features.
HOLD
Use the HOLD feature when you want to force one or more samples to play as if
in “Toggle” sounding mode (see page 43). The held sample(s) will play through to
the end or, if looped, will play continuously.
The HOLD feature only operates on samples with sounding mode set to “Note Driven.
1. To hear the effect most clearly, you should select a looping sample. Assuming
you have not yet changed the factory settings, you can try this with Pad A3. If
you are not now at BANK A, press [BANK] as necessary to get there.
2. Now press [PAD 3] to begin playback. With the pad still held down, press
[HOLD]. Then release both buttons. Sample A3 will continue to play in an
endless loop.
Notice that an H appears at the lower left of the LCD to indicate that the sample is being held.
