Using Loop-Track Play - Yamaha SU200 Owner's Manual

Using Loop-Track Play

Use this feature to play loop samples from multiple pads simultaneously. The SU200 temporarily
adjusts the tempo settings for each sample so that all of these samples play out at the same tempo
(the same BPM setting).
• Some samples may produce noise when used with Loop T rack Play.
NOTE

Press the [LOOP TR PLAY] ("Loop Track Play") button.
Pads currently set for loop playback all begin playing in an endless loop. This operation is referred to as
Loop-Track Play.

When you set this button on, all samples currently set for loop playback
begin playing out continuously, and the corresponding pads light up. All
samples currently set to one-shot play remain off, and their pads remain
dark. (See page 29.)

Press one of the pads that is currently playing (that is currently lit up).
The pad goes dark, and the sample goes off. (The sample is muted.)
Press the pad again, and sample's playback resumes.
(During Loop-Track Play, the pads for your loop sample act in the same way as mixer MUTE buttons.)

Try pressing a pad for a non-looping sample (a pad set for one-shot playback).

Now that you have switched off loop-track play, try pressing pads 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 one at a time. Notice
that these pads are all set to different tempos. During loop-track play, the SU200 automatically syn-
chronizes the playback so that they all play out at the same tempo.
Note that it is also possible to synchronize sample playback using an external MIDI clock. To use these
feature, you need to set the SU200 for an external MIDI clock (using Job mode) and you need to con-
nect a MIDI clock device to the SU200's MIDI IN connector.
