The graphs show the relationship between the velocity value received by the zone input and the velocity value sent to the
SL-2001 output. The Linear curve does not translate the velocity value; the output value is identical to the input. The Shelf
curve has the effect of compressing the middle velocity range so that the output values tend towards the center of the range
(64). The two exponential curves will have the greatest effect on the "feel" of a MIDI keyboard. Use the other velocity para-
meters together with the curve parameter to experiment with the dynamic response.
The Scale parameter is used to expand or shrink the dynamic range of a sound module. A scale factor of 100% will have no
effect; increasing or decreasing this setting will have a corresponding effect on the dynamic response. Negative scale factors
are also available which will produce decreasing output velocity values for increasing input velocities. Two zones set for
positive and negative scale factors can produce a velocity cross-fade effect, where the mix between two sound modules is
controlled by the playing force on the keyboard.
The Offset parameter is used to add a constant value to the note-on velocity. This will have the effect of increasing (or
decreasing) the velocity (and therefore the loudness) of a note over the entire dynamic range. For decaying echo effects, use
several delayed zones assigned to the same sound module, and offset each zone by a more negative value.
The Velocity functions are not available if the zone is bypassed, and the parameter values are not displayed.
NOTES
The NOTES function affects the way in which MIDI note events pass through a zone. They may be completely blocked, or

notes may be selectively filtered in many useful ways.
Control Slider 1 selects various note filters. To pass all MIDI note events, adjust the slider to On. To block all note events for
the zone, select Off. Two additional settings allow only odd-numbered or even-numbered notes to pass (middle "C" is note
number 60). The "Kmap" setting is a special filter in which all 128 MIDI note numbers may be designated to be blocked or
passed. Use the Star switch to access the alternate screen and program the key map.

There are two ways to program the Key Map function. Control Slider 1 may be used to select a note, and Control Slider 2
determines if the note is On (passed) or Off (filtered). Alternately, the key map may be directly programmed from the key-
board. Press the Alpha switch to clear the key map and enable programming. As notes are played on the keyboard, each
note name will appear under Key#, and the Stat parameter will be set to On. Once all desired keys have been pressed, press
the Alpha switch again. The key map may be edited during or after loading using Control Sliders 1 and 2.
The second parameter on the main NOTES screen is the Note Assignment Mode. The normal setting for this parameter is Poly
(polyphonic). This mode allows multiple MIDI note-on messages to pass through the zone, which means that many notes
can be played simultaneously on the MIDI sound module. Three other monophonic note assignment modes are available
which only allow one note at a time to sound. LoNote only passes the lowest note received; if a new key is pressed which
is lower than the current low key, the new note will sound and the old note will turn off. HiNote only allows only the high-
est note to pass through the zone, and LstNt allows only the last note. The note assignment modes are very useful for live
keyboard performance. The performer may control three or four distinct sounds from the keyboard at once.
The NOTES functions are not available if the zone is bypassed, and the parameter values are not displayed.
VOLUME
Another very basic parameter in a MIDI system is the volume setting of all devices. The VOLUME screen is used to specify
