J [UNDO/REDO] Button

You use this button to undo or redo all changes that you recorded into your song
during your previous recording pass. This feature is useful for undoing poor re-
sults, or for comparing “before” and “after” versions to determine which you want
to keep. The [UNDO/REDO] button operates only while the sequencer is in PLAY
STANDBY mode. (

p.183)

K Sequencer Controls

Use these buttons to control the sequencer. Button usage is outlined below. For
detailed information, refer to “Using the Sequencer,” (

L Job Grid

You use these buttons to access various SU700 jobs. These jobs let you carry out
a wide variety of editing, setup, and management tasks.

To select a job, you first press one of the job group selectors along the top of the
grid, and then press one of the job selectors along the left of the grid. You can then
carry out the job using the dial, cursor buttons, [CANCEL] or [OK] buttons, and
any other relevant controls.

For detailed explanations of all jobs, refer to Chapter 10, “Jobs,” on page 223.

M [SCENE/MARKER] Buttons

Operation depends on whether you have selected [SCENE] or [MARKER] with
the scene/marker switch.

If SCENE:

The SU700 lets you store up to eight scenes per song. A scene is an
entire environment of knob settings, mute settings, and effect set-
tings. To store the current environment, hold down one of the scene
buttons (from [TOP] to [G]) for approximately 1.5 seconds, until
the screen says

SCENE STORED

sponding scene button briefly.
