The device name will be entered on the second line of the text display, starting at the far left end. The flashing "A" indicates
the current position of the cursor. Adjust Control Slider 1 until the desired character appears. Note that when the slider is
moved to the extreme upper or lower end, a new set of characters is accessible. Reversing the direction of slider motion and
moving back to the top or bottom end will enable access to the previous set of characters. The characters available for device
names (and preset names) include the complete alphabet in upper and lower case, numerals 0 through 9, and a variety of
punctuation marks and special symbols. These characters may also be entered by pressing the appropriate keys on the SL-
2001 keyboard.
To change the position of the cursor, use the left and right arrow keys C
for the name. When the name has been completely entered, press the Star switch to return to the main screen. The screen
will now display the name as it was just entered, along with the port and channel number.
To install a second device (for example, another keyboard on MIDI IN B) adjust the port and channel values as necessary,
press the Star switch, and enter the name of the new keyboard. The SL-2001 local keyboard is designated by the device name
"2001"; this name may not be edited or deleted. Additional keyboards in your system may be conveniently named Kybd2,
Kybd3, or you may choose to use the model name or number.
OUTPUT DEVICES
Synthesizers, sound modules, percussion modules, and other sound generators are output devices. Installation of these
devices follows the same procedure, except that additional information must be entered to describe the device. As an exam-
ple, we will install a MIDI sound module on MIDI OUT A, channel 1. Adjust the port and channel values as necessary and
press the Star switch to access the alternate screen.
As before, the 5-character device name is entered using Control Slider 1 to select the character and the arrow switches to
move the cursor position (characters may also be selected by pressing the appropriate keys on the SL-2001 keyboard).
Because we are installing an output device (MIDI OUT A was selected as the port) there are two additional parameters that
must be set.
The Prg (program) parameter has two values: Zone and Auxiliary. For synthesizers or any other sound generators, this para-
meter should be set for Zone. This means that each sound module receives MIDI program change commands from the asso-
ciated zone that controls it.
AUXILIARY DEVICES
Some MIDI devices (such as audio effects units or programmable EQ units) do not require MIDI note or controller informa-
tion, they need only to receive a MIDI program change command. For this type of auxiliary device, there is no need to ded-
). There are a total of five characters available
