ZONE FUNCTIONS
The zone functions contain a separate set of parameters for each zone. This means that every SL-2001 preset has eight sep-
arate storage areas to save the parameters for each zone. Whenever a zone-programmable function is edited, the zone digit(s)
will appear after the Preset digits. Always check the zone display before editing any parameters, otherwise you might begin
to modify the wrong zone. The best way to identify the current zone is to temporarily go to the ZONE function screen (FUNC-
TION switch 4) and check the output device to which it is assigned. Use the left or right arrow (< > ) switches to changes
zones if necessary. Also check that the zone you are editing is active (the indicator on the ZONE switch must be lit) so that
the results of the edit will be audible.
Once all zones have been edited or programmed as desired, the Store function must be used to save the changes into a SL-
2001 preset. The zone copy function is useful tor creating presets, as many zones will have similar parameters (see section
4 under "Storing Presets").
To modify a zone-programmable function, enter Edit Mode and select the desired screen using FUNCTION switches 4
through 8.
ZONE
The SL-2001 operates by routing MIDI data from the master (or external) keyboards to the sound modules via eight MIDI
processors or "zones". To establish these links, the zones must be configured to receive the information from the perfor-
mance device and send it the output devices.
The ZONE function is used to configure the eight zones as needed for the preset. The zone configuration is the most basic
of all SL-2001 functions and should be edited or checked before any other parameters are modified. After selecting the ZONE
edit screen, the left and right arrow switches (fs' ©) can be used to quickly scan the input and output assignments for each zone.
Note that the zone digit is displayed to indicate the number of the zone currently being edited. Control Slider 1 is used to
select the zone input device, and Control Slider 2 is used to select the output device. In the example screen, Kybd2 is now
able to send MIDI information to Mod#3 via zone number one. All of the MIDI devices installed during the Device Installation
will appear on Control Slider 1 or 2. Selecting devices from this list is equivalent to programming the zone input and output
for a specific MIDI port and channel (implicit in the device name). MIDI units installed as Auxiliary devices may be selected
for a zone output, although in most cases they will be accessed only on the AUX PROG screen.
