QUICK REFERENCE
For basic operation please follow the guidelines below. The SL-2001 includes eight demonstration presets which may be
used after the instrument is installed into your MIDI system.
1. Connect voltage adapter into a power outlet (make sure voltage specification on power adapter matches your line volt-
age). Connect adapter cable to SL-2001 power jack.
2. Connect MIDI cables before switching on any MIDI devices. To use the demonstration presets, connect a sound module
to each of the four MIDI outputs A-D. Each sound module should be set to receive on MIDI channel 1.
4. Apply power to all MIDI devices in the system.
5. Switch on the power to the SL-2001.
To change SL-2001 presets, make sure that the unit is in Perform Mode (red light on EDIT switch is off) . To change the pre-
set, press any of the eight PRESET switches. To change to a different bank, press the left or right arrow switches
( < > ) until the desired bank number is displayed before pressing one of the eight PRESET switches. Presets are arranged
in eight banks of eight, for a total of 64 presets (11 through 88). An optional memory card is available which holds 64 addi-
tional presets.
Local controllers (front panel sliders, Star and Alpha switches, footswitches A through C, and control voltage inputs 1 and 2)
will issue MIDI control change commands depending on the selected preset.
MIDI devices may be switched on and off using the eight ZONE switches.
To edit a preset, enter Edit Mode by pressing the EDIT switch. Press the appropriate FUNCTION switch to access the desired
function (press several times if necessary until the desired screen appears on the text display). If a star (*) appears in the dis-
play, an alternate screen may be accessed by pressing the Star switch. Adjust the parameter with the appropriate control slid-
er. To change parameters for a specific zone, first select the appropriate zone by using the left and right arrow switches. The
selected zone is indicated by the zone digit(s) following the preset number.
IMPORTANT: Before the SL-2001 can be effectively programmed for your MIDI system, all MIDI devices must be properly
"installed" into the SL-2001 operating system. Refer to the DEVICES function in section 4 for information on this procedure.
DEMONSTRATION PRESETS
The SL-2001 comes from the factory with 8 demonstration presets in locations 11 through 18. The demonstration presets are
intended for use with four MIDI sound modules . Each sound module should be set for MIDI channel 1, and each should
each be on a separate MIDI output. The demonstration presets illustrate several of the most useful SL-2001 functions, and
are summarized below. When the demonstration presets are selected with the PRESET switches, the sound modules should
change programs automatically. The actual program number on each sound module may not match the number of the pre-
set selected on the SL-2001. These program numbers may be easily changed; see the operation guide sections on Edit Mode
and the Program function.
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 11: All four sound modules are active and receiving note information from the keyboard. The
ZONE switches may be used to turn off selected sound modules to hear different combinations of the modules. The four
control sliders on the front panel are used to adjust the volume level for each sound module (refer to the CONTROLS func-
tion in section 8 for information on programming sliders and control pedals).
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 12: All four sound modules are active, but the keyboard is divided into four zones, with a dif-
ferent sound module active in each zone (refer to the ZONE function in section 8 for more information).
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 13: All four sound modules are active, but each key that is played on the keyboard is assigned
to a different sound module. (refer to the NOTES function in section 8 for more information).

DEMONSTRATION PRESET 14: All four sound modules are active, but MIDI information for modules 2, 3, and 4 is delayed,
with module 2 set for the shortest delay and module 4 set for the longest. The two wheel controllers may be used to change
pitch or add modulation; this MIDI data will be delayed along with the note information, creating a unique effect (refer to the
DELAY function in section 8 for more information).
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 15: This preset demonstrates the velocity switch function. For notes played softly on the key-
board, only the first sound module will play. As the keys are struck more forcefully, module 2, module 3, and finally mod-
ule 4 will sound (refer to the VELOCITY function in section 8 for more information).
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 16: This preset uses only MIDI sound module numbers one and two, and demonstrates what is
known as a velocity cross-fade. For notes played softly on the keyboard, only sound module number 1 should play at max-
imum volume. As the notes are struck more forcefully, sound module 1 will become softer, and sound module 2 will become
louder (refer to the VELOCITY function in section 8 for more information).
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 17: This preset demonstrates MIDI delay combined with multiple key transpose settings to pro-
duce an arpeggio for every note that is played on the keyboard. Only sound module #1 is used in this preset. For best results,
this module should be capable of playing eight or more notes simultaneously (refer to the TRANSPOSE function in section 8
for more information).
DEMONSTRATION PRESET 18: The SL-2001 is capable of generating long MIDI delays with independent time settings for
each sound module. This preset has zero delay for the first sound module, and delays of 2.5, 5, and 7.5 seconds for the sec-
ond, third, and fourth modules respectively.
SL-2001 SPECIFICATIONS
* Full-size 88-key weighted action with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch.
* 48-character LCD display with backlight
* Sixty-four presets stored internally; optional memory card for 64 additional presets.
* Four MIDI inputs may be used for additional keyboards, MIDI accessories, sequencers, etc. The
inputs may be merged in any combination into any of the outputs. All SL-2001 master
keyboard functions are available for the external keyboards.
* Four fully independent MIDI outputs, for a total of sixty-four MIDI output channels.
* Two programmable control wheels, left wheel has spring-return and center detent. Each wheel may be
programmed to issue up to eight different messages per preset.
* Four programmable control sliders. Each slider can be programmed to issued as many as eight different
messages per preset.
* Three programmable switch inputs. Each switch may be programmed to issue any MIDI switch message,
or used to enable/disable any of the keyboard zones.
* Preset increment and decrement inputs.
* Two programmable voltage inputs. Each input may be programmed to issue up to eight MIDI control
messages per preset.
* Eight keyboard zones may be defined over any region of the local or external keyboards. Each zone is fully
