Presenting the SU200. The most power-packed phrase sampler in its class.Once you get your hands on its intuitive sampling interface, awesome effects, impressive remixing functions and realtime controllers, you'll be creating and mixing loops in no time - even if you've never owned a sampler before. That's because the SU200 is loaded with an outstanding array of features that make it easier than ever to create killer dance tracks.
its amazing "LOOP REMIX" function lets you change the groove of your loops as you play them - ON THE FLY. And by simply pressing the "LOOP TR PLAY" button, your sample loops will instantly play back in perfect sync - regardless of their original BPM! if you've been wanting to lay down your own sample-based grooves, check out the SU200 and you'll agree - it's one HOT box!

Features

- Resampling!

This incredible function lets you mix together multiple samples into a single new sample. Acting essentially as a digital multitrack recorder, the Resampling function records all of your pad taps, knob tweaks and sample scratches as you play them. You can then play back your newly created sample and "overdub" more samples and effects on top of it by simply repeating the Resampling process. Just imagine the infinite number of loops you can make by combining this function with LOOP REMIX!

- Loop Track Play (Automatic BPM Sync Of Multiple Loops)

The SU200 is the only sampler in its class that can automatically synchronize your sample loops on demand - even if they are sampled at different speeds! Simply turn on the Loop Track Play function and you'll be able to make a perfect mix by muting and unmuting sample pads. Up to 6 loops can play back simultaneously, giving you enough sound power to create full-fledged tracks. Let's give it a try:

- Loop Remix!!

Creating slammin' rhythm loops has never been easier! LOOP REMIX lets you instantly create hot new variations of your sample loops. Best of all, it can be applied as the loop is playing, allowing you to alter the groove on the fly. Never before has a phrase sampler offered such impressive realtime groove control.

- Scratch!!

The SCRATCH function lets you play a sample back and forth on the Ribbon Controller as if you were scratching a record! The Ribbon Controller can also be used to control the currently selected effect in realtime.

Note:When the Ribbon Controller is not assigned the Scratch function, it controls the same effect parameter as that assigned to Effect Control Knob 2.

- MIDI Clock Sync

Connect the unit to an external MIDI clock source (such as Yamaha's RM1x Sequence Remixer or CS6x Control Synthesizer) and your sample loops will play back seamlessly in tempo with your sequenced tracks or arpeggiated rhythms.

- Awsome Effects Box

Not just a sampler, the SU200 makes a way-cool effects box, too! Just plug an external audio source, such as a microphone, synthesizer or turntable, into the SU200 and assign the signal to one of its digital effects, or even the powerful resonant filter. Using the Effect Control Knobs and Ribbon Controller, you can add dazzling new textures to the audio signal in realtime. The AUDIO IN pad lets you freely bring the external sound in and out of the mix.

- Studio Mode HIgh Quality(44.1kHz) Sampling

To ensure the highest possible sound quality when recording to DAT or other type of recording medium, the SU200 provides 44.1 kHz sampling - up to 42 seconds, as a matter of fact. If you need more sampling time than that, or if you're looking for that lo-fi underground sound, you can record at a lower sampling rate: 22 kHz...11 kHz...or all the way down to a grungy 6 kHz for a massive 333 seconds of sampling time.

- Operation Made Easy

Unlike phrase samplers with LED displays (which show just a few characters of information at a time), the SU200 has a backlit LCD that displays all your essential information at once. At a glance, you'll know your current pad status, BPM, beat count and more. Plus the SU200's bright, illuminated red buttons cut through the darkest of club environments to let you know exactly which pads and functions are currently selected.

- Wav File Import/ Export

Equipped with a SmartMediaslotâ„¢, the SU200 allows you to import and export WAV files, opening up a whole new world of possibilities - use sound files downloaded from the Internet, transfer samples to your computer for editing, exchange samples with friends and more!

- Audio Sampling CD Included!

The SU200 is bundled with an audio CD loaded with cutting-edge beat phrases, drum sounds and bass lines. All the essential sounds for creating fresh techno and hip-hop tracks packed into one CD.
