The sample length of the LOOP 1 and LOOP 2 tracks will be detected automatically by the SU700. In this example of creating a song — if samples were recorded correctly — the SU700 should have detected a LOOP LENGTH of 004 for LOOP 1 and 008 for LOOP 2, and a BPM value in the region of 172 for both. Alternatively, the SU700 may have detected a LOOP LENGTH of 002 for LOOP 1 and 004 for LOOP 2, with a BPM in the region of 86 for both. In this latter case, you will need to set the LOOP LENGTH manually to the correct value.

LOOP LENGTH=008 means that the loop is 8 beats long when calculated at BPM=172. If the display indicates the wrong loop length for the two loops, use the dial to correct the settings to LOOP LENGTH = 004 for LOOP 1, and LOOP LENGTH=008 for LOOP 2. The BPM will be recalculated automatically, and should be a value in the region of 172.

●Adjusting the volume balance

Here’s how to adjust the volume balance between the LOOP 1 track and the LOOP 2 track.

Procedure

1. Press the SOUND group [LEVEL] button.

2. Press the LOOP 1 pad. The display will numerically indicate the volume level that is currently specified for the LOOP 1 track.

Use the knob for the LOOP 1 track to set “LEVEL=127.”

3. Next press the LOOP 2 pad, and rotate the knob for the LOOP 2 track to set “LEVEL=075.”
