Yamaha Sampling Unit SU10

Yamaha Sampling Unit SU10

The Yamaha Sampling Unit SU10 is a compact sampler and sequencer. It ultimately is a portable notepad for musical ideas. It has a maximum of 4 simultaneous samples polyphony, 11.64 to 44.1 sampling rates, 54 to 19 seconds of sampling time (respectively), stereo input/output (using 3.5mm mini stereo plugs), 4 songs with up to 100 events in each and a maximum of 48 samples can be stored. The 12 key-pads are not only used for editing and programming, but also for triggering samples stored within any of the four banks (bank A, B, C or D). The SU10 also has a nifty ribbon controller that can be used to filter the samples cutoff, alter pitch, reverse, scale, crossfade, hold and scratch samples. It features a VCF type filter with 3 resonant settings and a bandpass, highpass, or lowpass shape. It can even be used to filter an external sound source. Fortunately, the filter is prone to crackles, distortion and noise which makes this a great tool for noise!! These were discontinued by Yamaha back in 1998. Can be powered by an AC adapter (12-volt center positive) or 6 AA batteries.
