CHORD
The CHORD function is used to create multiple note messages from a single note message.
If Control Slider 2 is changed from the Off position, a second note message will be created for every note message received
by the zone. A third and fourth note may be introduced using Control Sliders 3 and 4. The control slider settings determine
the transpose interval for each of the additional notes. This interval is added to the overall transposition value set in the
TRANSPOSE screen. Any notes that are transposed out of the normal MIDI note range will not sound.
It is possible to produce more note-on messages than can be sounded simultaneously on the sound module; the keyboard
should be played accordingly. Note that a zero setting is available which produces a new note message identical to the one
received. On some synthesizers and sound modules, duplicate note messages will have no effect. When the Chord function
is not used, be sure that Control Sliders 2, 3, and 4 are set to the Off position.
The Chord function is not available if the zone is bypassed, and the parameter values are not displayed.
SPECIAL
The SPECIAL screen is reserved for new functions which may be available in future versions of the SL-2001 operating soft-
ware. Consult your dealer for information about software updates.
CONTROLS
The final group of SL-2001 edit screens contain all functions relating to the processing of MIDI control change messages by
the zone. If a zone is associated with the SL-2001 keyboard, all control change messages will originate from the SL-2001 local
controls (wheels, switches, sliders, etc.). The CONTROLS screen is used to assign the local controls to various destinations.
If a zone is associated with an external keyboard, control change messages originate from that instrument. The MIDI cc (con-
tinuous controller) and MIDI sw (switch) screens are used to assign these externals controllers (wheels, knobs, switches, etc.)
to various destinations.
The MIDI cc and MIDI sw screens do not function for zones associated with the SL-2001 keyboard, however the CONTROLS
screen may be used even for zones associated with external keyboards. Messages from the SL-2001 local controls will be
merged with the external MIDI data You may, for example, have a keyboard without Pitch and Modulation wheels.
The SL-2001 wheels could be used to add this controller information to the note information coming from the external key-
