A zone may be programmed to operate only in a specific region of the master or external keyboard. Use Control Slider 3 to
set the lowest desired note, and Control Slider 4 to select the highest note desired. This range may also be programmed by
selecting the notes on the keyboard for that zone. Press the Star switch to access the alternate screen. Press the two keys
that correspond to the highest and lowest notes desired for the zone. You must play these notes on the instrument specified
on the screen. After the second note is pressed, the display will automatically revert to the main ZONE screen with the new
settings as programmed.
In some applications it may be desirable to pass MIDI information on all 16 channels directly from one MIDI input to a MIDI
output. If a zone is bypassed in this manner, none of the MIDI processing functions are available; the zone functions only
to direct the data to a specific output.

To bypass a zone, use Control Slider 1 to select an input port. Control Slider 2 will now display only the four output ports A
through D. The note range parameters do not apply to a bypassed zone and are not displayed. The only other function avail-
able is ZONE CTL.
ZONE CTL
The eight ZONE switches on the SL-2001 front panel may be used at any time to activate or disable a zone.

While creating or editing a preset, it is often desirable to turn off some of the zones so that the effects of the edit are more
clearly audible.The zones may also be controlled by the five local switches (A, B, C, Star, and Alpha). The ZONE CTL screen
is used to select the source of control for the zone.
Use Control Slider 1 to select any of the local switches as a control source for the zone. If None is selected, the state may
only be changed using the front-panel ZONE switch.
Control Slider 2 is used to select the control polarity. A positive (+) polarity means that when the switch controlling the zone
is on, the zone will be enabled. If a negative polarity is selected, turning on the control switch will disable the zone. By set-
ting one zone for positive control and a second zone for negative control, the zones will alternate. This is useful for switch-
ing between two different MIDI sound modules without having to use a second SL-2001 preset.
DELAY
All messages entering a zone may be delayed before they are sent to the SL-2001 output.
Delay
80 mS
Use Control Slider 1 to select the delay time. This value will be displayed as milliseconds (mS, one thousandth of a second)
or as seconds. Maximum delay setting is 10 seconds.
Many unique special effects may be created using multiple zones. Slapback echo, decaying echo, rhythmic echo, arpeggia-
tion, and many other effects can be produced using the delay, velocity, transpose, and other zone parameters. It is even pos-
sible to separate MIDI note messages from controller messages using two zones, and apply a different amount of delay to
each message type. The zone copy function is useful in creating these effects, as each zone used for the effect will be near-
ly identical.
The delay function is not available for zones that are bypassed, and the parameter values are not displayed.
PROGRAM
The most fundamental parameter in a MIDI system is the program number for each device. The PROGRAM screen is used
to specify the program number issued to each device at the instant a SL-2001 preset is selected.
