Some jobs are used to enter new settings, while other are used to execute operations. Note that most setting changes become effective immediately—even if you use [CANCEL] to escape from the job. To execute an operation, however, you must always press [OK]. Details are provided in the procedures below.

Note that you can switch from one job to another at any time by pressing another job group selector or job selector. The SU700 will immediately display the top screen for the new job you have selected.

So long as power remains on, the SU700 will remember “job flow” selections that have no effect on actual operation, and will recall these the next time you run the job. For example, if you open the DISK LOAD job and then select LOAD SAMPLE at the first level, the SU700 remembers this selection even if you press [CANCEL]. The next time you open this job the screen automatically begins by displaying LOAD SAMPLE.

While you are working at a job screen, the SU700 disables use of all buttons other than (a) the job group selectors and job selectors, (b) the [OK] and [CAN- CEL] buttons, and (c) any controls directly related to the job screen you are working at. Pad-function selectors, knob-function buttons, and sequencer buttons remained disabled for normal use until you terminate the job and return to the main screen.

Be sure to save important data to disk to avoid inadvertent data loss. Remember that the SU700 loses almost all information-including many job settings-when you switch power off.
