• 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
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• 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.

ENGLISH
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.
●
Various playback features
In addition to playing samples back exactly as recorded, the SU200 also offers various types of special play-
back.
• Play part or all of a sample repeatedly. (Loop play)............................................................................. Page 29
• Play a sample backwards. (Reverse play)............................................................................................. Page 29
• Select the part of the sample that plays back. (Start point/end point)............................................... Page 30
The following illustration shows how playback works when you have set up start and end points and selected
loop play.

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 play-
back.)
■
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 con-
troller 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 (
→
Page 19)
Apply filtering or an effects (TECH MOD, DIST/LO-FI, or DELAY) to input from an external
audio source.
●
Includes resampling capability (
→
Page 26)
Mix multiple samples (together with effects, scratch, and filter) and record the result as a single
new sample.
●
Includes a memory-card slot (
→
Page 40)
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 avail-
able.

Internal Configuration
The SU200 consists of three internal blocks.
●
Sampler Block
Records samples from sound input from a microphone, CD player, or other audio device, and allows
editing and processing of the recorded samples.
●
Effector/Filter Block
Applies an effect or filter to the sound output from the sampler block. The SU200 provides six effect
types: some of them standard effects, and others newly designed specifically for use with sample play-
back.
●
Controller Section
Provides the various controls used for realtime playback. Includes pads for playing samples, and the rib-
bon controller and Effect Control knobs for applying effects.

Memory Configuration
The SU200 can store a maximum of 24 samples (8 pads × 3 banks) in its internal memory. You can
also save your SU200 samples into memory cards (see page 42).
Modes
The SU200 has three main operating modes.
●
Pad-Play Mode
The SU200 enters this mode immediately following power-on. This is the mode you use to play and edit
your samples. All operating procedures presented in this manual assume that you are starting from
Pad-Play mode.
●
Sampling Mode
This is the mode you use to record samples. You enter this mode by pressing the [REC] button, so that
the REC indication appears in the display.
●
Job Mode
You use this mode to make various settings: pad settings, memory-card settings, and so on. You enter
this mode by pressing the [JOB] button.
• If you lose track of the current mode when working at the panel, you can return to Pad-Play
mode by pressing the [EXIT] button one or more times (depending on the mode you are cur-
rently in).

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.

Chapter 1 Recording Samples
Chapter 1 Recording Samples
This chapter explains how to record samples. You can record samples using either automatic start
(AUTO) or manual start (MANUAL). You can also re-record existing samples (resampling).
●
Automatic Recording automatically starts when the input level reaches a specified trigger level. This is
the method you used when recording your voice during the Quick Start tutorial. (See
directly below.)
●
Manual Recording starts immediately when you press the [START/STOP] button. (See page 24.)
●
Resampling Use this feature to record from the SU200's own output. This feature allows you to mix mul-
tiple samples (together with effects, scratch, and filter) and record the result as a single new
sample. (See page 26.)
Recording a Sample (AUTO start)
Z
Make the connections required for sample recording. (See page 10.)
• If you connect up both LINE INPUT and MIC INPUT, the SU200 records from the MIC INPUT
only. If you wish to record from LINE INPUT, be sure that the MIC INPUT jack is left empty.
X
Switch off all pads, and then press the [REC] button to enter Sampling mode.
●
Pressing the [REC] button a second time will move you to manual-start recording.
●
You can escape from Sampling mode by pressing the [EXIT] button.
C
Press the pad into which you want to record your new sample. (See page 20.)
If you wish to change the bank, press the appropriate bank button before selecting the pad.
• If a sample is already recorded on the pad you select, the display asks whether to delete it (as
in “
Delete B-1?
”). Press [+1/YES] to delete the existing sample, or [-1/NO] to cancel and
retain the existing sample.
V
Adjust settings as necessary. Select
STEREO
or
MONO
, and set the grade.
For more information about grades, see page 11.
• Remember that the SU200 can play a maximum of 6 MONO samples (or 2 high-
grade MONO samples) at one time. A STEREO sample counts as two MONO sam-
ples.
• If you are recording from line input and have selected MONO, you should connect
the line from your audio source to the LINE INPUT (L) jack.
• Clicking noise may occur while settings are being changed. It is recommended that you
reduce the volume before adjusting the settings.
B
Adjust the input level by pressing the [-1/NO] or [+1/YES] button.
Input the sound that you are planning to record (through LINE or MIC input) while watching the
input-level meter on the display. If the indicated level is too high or too low, adjust by pressing [-1/NO]

About the Recording Trigger Level
The illustrations below show how the trigger level works.
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.).
M
Press the [START/STOP] button to enter recording standby.
<
Input the sound you are recording (through the microphone or from the device con-
nected to the LINE INPUT).
Recording starts automatically when the input level hits the trigger level.
>
When you have finished recording, press the [START/STOP] button to stop. The
SU200 returns to Pad-Play mode.
• Sampling automatically stops if you run out of recording time (if the remaining-time display
falls to
00_00_0
).
?
Listen to the results by pressing the pad that you selected at Step 3 above.
• If pads recorded at different grades are played together, the pad(s) recorded at lower grades
may sound noticeably “noisy.” You can avoid this problem by recording all samples at the
same grade.
• If you notice noise at the end of the sample during playback, adjust the end point to a less
noisy location.

Chapter 2 Playing the Pads
Using the [HOLD] Feature
Use this feature when you want changes in effects and other settings to apply to a single selected
pad, regardless of the order in which you are playing the pads.
If you do not use the HOLD feature, changes you make in effects and other settings will apply to the
last pad that you pressed. If you have "held" a pad, however, then all changes apply only to that pad
(until you release the hold).
To select a pad to be held. hold down the [HOLD] button and press the pad button. To release the
hold, just press the [HOLD] button once again.
If you have held a pad, the screen will display an mark.
●
For example, assume that hold is off. You press pad 1, and then make an effect setting. The new setting
applies to pad 1. Now you press pad 2, and then enter another setting. This time the setting applies to pad 2
(since that is the last pad you pressed). The target changes each time you press a different pad.
●
Now assume that you hold down the [HOLD] button and press pad 1óso that pad 1 is held. Then you release
both buttons. Next, you press various other pads and make various settings. In this case all settings apply
to pad 1 only.
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 important issues
related to this type of playback.
• Bass-phrase samples or bouncing rhythm-phrase samples may produce noise when used with
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:
Hold the pad down and press
the [HOLD] button.
You can stop playback by press-
ing the same pad or the [HOLD]
button once again.
NOTE
Loop 1 Loop 2
Loop 1 Loop 2
Pad 1
Pad 2
Chapter 2 Playing the Pads
33
ENGLISH
●
If pad 1 is set to 2bar while pad 2 is still set to 1bar:
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.
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
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
Z
Connect a MIDI device (such as a sequencer or keyboard) to the SU200. Switch on
the power to the MIDI device and the SU200.
X
Enter Job mode and set the MIDI clock setting to
EXT
(external). (See page 39.)
C
Start Loop-Track Play.
●
If using a sequencer (such as the Yamaha RMIx):
SU200 starts Loop-Track Play automatically when the RMIx starts pattern play. The Loop-Track Play is synchro-
nized with the RMIx tempo.
●
If using a MIDI keyboard (such as the Yamaha CS6x):
Press the SU200’s [LOOP TR PLAY] button while using the CS6x arpeggiator. The SU200 will start Loop-Track Play
in sync with the tempo from the CS6x.
V
Stop Loop-Track Play.
●
If using a sequencer (such as the Yamaha RMIx):
Stop the RMIx pattern. Loop-Track Play stops automatically.
●
If using a MIDI keyboard (such as the Yamaha CS6x):

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
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 fil-
ter) 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.)
● 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).
● 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).
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
This effect breaks the pad’s sample (the part between the start point and end point) into multiple pieces, and rear-
ranges these pieces into a different order. Use this as an easy way to create new drum patterns out of existing 1-bar
and 2-bar drum-pattern samples.
• Type.................... Controls how the sample is broken up. Turning knob 1 to the right increases the number of
pieces (reducing the size of each piece).
• Variation............. Turning knob 2 to the right increases the amount of reverse playback with the rearranged
pieces.

●
DELAY
This effect adds a delay.
• DELAY LEVEL
.. Turn knob 1 to control the sound level of the delayed sound component.
• TIME
................... Turn knob 2 to control the delay time: the time between the start of the original playback and
the start of the delayed playback. The delay time changes in accordance with the sample’s
tempo (BPM).
●
FILTER
The filter removes a specific frequency range from the sample output, producing a change in the sound quality.
• CUTOFF
............ Turn knob 2 to make the sound brighter or darker.
• RESONANCE
... Turn knob 1 to apply distinctive resonance characteristics to the sound. Turning the knob
heightens the overtones, resulting in a twanging sound similar to that produced by an analog
synthesizer.
●
SCRATCH
This feature lets you use the ribbon controller to scratch out a selected sample. Rub the ribbon up or down to play the
sample forward or in reverse, emulating the scratch sound produced by manually turning a vinyl disc.
●
TIME
(real-time tempo change)
This feature changes the playback tempo in real time while introducing a distortion effect.
• 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, how-
ever, when using the scratch or TIME feature.
• Loop Remix, Slice, TIME, and scratch do not work on audio input.
• Loop Remix and Slice may generate noise when used with certain types of sound.
• Loop Remix and Slice have no effect on pads that are set to one-shot play.
• If you use Loop Remix on a sample for which loop-track play is off, you may notice a slight
change in the sample's tempo.

Chapter 5 MIDI Features
This chapter explains the SU200’s MIDI features.
About MIDI
What is MIDI?
MIDI (for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”) is a standard, internationally recognized interface for music-related dig-
ital communication among electronic instruments, computers, sequencers, and related devices. The interface allows dif-
ferent 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 broadcast-
ing: multiple channels are transmitted, and the viewer selects any one of these channels to be received. If you wish to con-
trol 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.
• 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).
• 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
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.
• 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.
• 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.

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 pack-
age) 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 Mem-
ory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory Card is lost or damaged.
42
Chapter 6 Using Memory Cards
You can use memory cards to save and load sample data. You control memory-card operations
using the SU200’s Job mode.
Saving Data into a Memory Card
The SU200 offers the following two methods for saving sample data into a memory card.
●
Volume Save: Save all data from all SU200 samples into the card.
●
Wave Export: Save a selected sample into the card as a WAV file.
The “volume save” will save all samples together with all related settings.
• These operations do not save settings related to the EFFECT CONTROL knobs and ribbon control-
ler.
• If the memory card does not have enough free space to hold the save, the SU200 displays an error
message (see page 52) and cancels the save operation. If you wish to proceed, you must use a dif-
ferent card or delete one or more files from the current card.

Displayed Messages
The SU200 displays a number of different messages. This section explains the most important of
these messages.
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 mem-
ory 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 dis-
play. 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.
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 pos-
sible 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 opera-
tion (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.
You attempted to execute an operation that requires an exist-
ing sample (deletion, extraction, etc.), but the pad you
selected is currently empty.
If attempting to use time-stretch: You selected the same pad
as both master and slave.
If attempting to copy a sample: You selected the same pad
as both the source and the destination.
You attempted to use a pad containing a high-grade sample
when carrying out a function (such as resampling) that does
not support high-grade samples.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
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 distor-
tion. (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] but-
ton is pressed.
• The clock setting may be set to
EXT
(see page 39).
Cannot record samples. • Is LINE INPUT or MIC INPUT correctly connected? (See page
10.)
• The Protect function may be on. (See page 53.)
Cannot start sample recording
(AUTO start).
• The trigger level may be set too high. (See page 23.)
Sample recording starts too soon
(AUTO start).
• The trigger level may be set too low. (See page 23.)
Available sampling time seems
too low.
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.)
Cannot control the SU200 from
an external MIDI device.
• 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.)
Cannot play SU200 samples from
an external MIDI keyboard.
• 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
×
8 pads)
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.
