EDITING A PRESET
To edit an existing preset, enter Edit Mode and select the desired edit screen with the appropriate FUNCTION switch. As an
example, we will use the first screen of function group 4 (ZONE).In this example of an Edit Mode display, there are four
parameters shown. The current value of each parameter appears below the parameter name, and may be changed with the
corresponding control slider (while in Edit Mode, any MIDI control functions assigned to a control slider are disabled). The
zone digit is present because these functions are zone-programmable (when editing a zone-programmable function, be sure
that the correct number is displayed or the wrong zone may be inadvertently changed).
There is a Star on the third parameter of this screen. The Star is used in several functions to indicate that there is an alter-
nate screen which can be accessed by pressing the Star switch. The alternate screen contains additional parameters that are
related to the main screen but which are not always used. To get back to the main screen press the Star switch again. While
in Edit Mode, any MIDI control functions assigned to the Star switch are disabled.
The Alpha switch is also used in Edit Mode, usually to initiate special operations like memory load or save. Its function will
be designated on the screen where it is used. While in Edit Mode, any MIDI control functions assigned to the Alpha switch
are disabled.
CREATING NEW PRESETS
Creating an entirely new preset requires three steps: configure the zones, program each zone, and program any desired mis-
cellaneous Preset-programmable functions. The specific details of zone functions and miscellaneous preset functions is cov-
ered in reference sections 7 and 8. After learning how to create basic presets in this section, scan sections 7 and 8 to become
familiar with the many powerful functions available, and consult specific explanations as needed. Before any presets are cre-
ated, all devices used in the MIDI system must be designated by a five-character name and entered into the SL-2001's device
list. The MIDI port and channel associated with each device is also entered.
DEVICE INSTALLATION
The DEVICES screen is used to enter the name and description of all MIDI devices in the system. This information should
be entered into the SL-2001 before any new presets are created. For every device in the system, the SL-2001 must know the
port to which it has been connected and the MIDI channel on which the device is transmitting or receiving. SL-2001 presets
are then easily created by referring to the device name only; the port and channel are implied by the name and need not be
displayed.
