Standard templates can be grouped together to allow quick switching between them in Play Mode. This feature is useful
where the software or hardware you are controlling has lots of parameters and you need to create more than one template
to allow access to all of them. To quickly switch between grouped templates, repeatedly press any GROUP SELECT SWITCH.
As an example, there are three factory programmed V-Station templates on the SL Compact. In the first template,
ENCODERS GROUP A are assigned to the parameters for oscillator 1, in the second they are assigned to the parameters
for oscillator 2 and in the third they are assigned to oscillator 3. Try selecting one of the V-Station templates and repeatedly
press the ENCODERS GROUP A SWITCH. You will see the parameter names change between 'Osc1', 'Osc2' and 'Osc3' as
you switch between the templates in the group. When a grouped template is selected a number will appear in the bottom
left-hand corner of the SL Compact display to indicate which template in the group is currently selected. You will see this
change from 1-3 as you switch between the V-Station templates using the ENCODERS GROUP A SWITCH.

THE QUICK MENU

When in Play Mode, pressing the MENU button accesses the Quick Menu which contains several important settings. Press
the MENU button once more to exit the Quick Menu and return to Play Mode. The Quick Menu display looks as follows:
Template
Bank
Program

55
Template – shows the currently selected Template. Change this to select a different Template
Bank – this setting allows you to send MIDI bank change messages from the SL Compact. Bank change messages are sent
as a CC0 (Bank MSB) and CC32 (Bank LSB) pair. The Bank MSB value is always set to 0 and the Bank LSB value is as
displayed. The MIDI channel and the MIDI ports on which the messages are sent are determined by the KeybChan and
KeybPort settings in the Template Menu (see page 57)
Program – this setting allows you to send MIDI program change messages from the SL Compact. The MIDI channel and the
MIDI ports on which the messages are sent are determined by the KeybChan and KeybPort settings in the Template Menu
(see page 57)
Transpose – shows the amount in semi tones by which the keyboard is transposed. This can be set to any value from -64
to +63
TempoBPM – This setting controls the tempo of the SL Compact's internal timing reference. If you are sending MIDI clock
from the SL Compact to other MIDI software or hardware then this setting will only have an effect over the synced devices
if the SL Compact clock source status is INTERNAL and RECEIVING. See the 'BPM Status' section below for information on
how to check the clock source status. This setting has an additional function when using the SL Compact in Automap
mode. If the Automap Universal Server software and a ReWire host application are running on your computer then the
tempo in the ReWire host will follow the TempoBPM setting on the SL Compact. The BPMPort setting in the Global Menu
must be set to ON for this to work so that ReWire tempo messages are sent when the TempoBPM setting is changed (See
page 41)
ComnChan – this setting allows you to change the Common MIDI channel of the Template (this setting is also found in the
Template Menu). This is the MIDI channel that any individual control with MidiChan set to 'ComnCHAN' will transmit on, and
is therefore useful for changing the setting of multiple controls at the same time. See page 57 for further details
