Procedure
Be sure that you have selected the song containing the sample(s) you want to work on.
1. Press SAMPLE | PROCESS.
▼ The track brackets indicate the currently selected sample track. The screen briefly
displays PROCESS , and then displays the name of the last process job that you se-
lected.
2. If the screen displays a job name other than BIT CONVERT, turn the dial so that the
name changes to BIT CONVERT. Then press [OK].
3. Select the track containing the sample you want to work on by pressing the appropri-
ate bank selector and/or pad.
NOTE:
If you select an empty track, the screen displays
NO SAMPLE . If you select a sample
that has 8-bit resolution, the screen displays IMPOSSIBLE , indicating that it is not pos-
sible to reduce the resolution. In either case, you can simply select a different sample by
pressing the appropriate bank selector or pad, or you can cancel by pressing the [CAN-
CEL] key as necessary.
4. If the selected sample has a bit resolution of 16 bits, the screen presents the follow-
ing display to indicate that it is possible to reduce the resolution to 8 bits.
5. Press [OK] to execute the conversion.
▼ The SU700 converts the waveform. The screen displays a “processing” pattern
while processing is in progress. When processing is finished, the screen displays the
word
FINISHED .
6. You can now press the pad to listen to the sound of the converted waveform. If you
are pleased with the result, press [OK] to store the waveform into track memory,
overwriting the original waveform. If you are not pleased with the result, press
[CANCEL] to discard the result and retain the original waveform.
▼ The job terminates and the main screen appears.
