Sound Examples

Here are .mp3 sound examples of SU700, used as an effect processor.
The dried sounds are shown at the left, and SU700 effected sounds at the right.

The source sound is played by Roland D-110 and processed by SU700. No other equipments are used. I often used Amp Simulator, Canyon Reverb and Lo-Fi effects in these examples.

AKAI MPC60, influenced by Linn 9000, can be seen as the ancestor of all 'groove samplers'.

YAMAHA SU10 is the first model of the Sampling Unit series, made as a compliment to CS1x keyboard. SU200 is the updated version with Smart Media. All SU series have a ribbon controller.
SU700 inherits the FX section of A3000 rack sampler. (See A4000 page written by Don Solaris for the sounds of the upper version.)
