Introduction:
W hy and how do we use MIDI C ontrollers? W hat are Zones? Uses and Applications.
C ongratulations on your new purchase of the S L-760 S tudio Logic Master C ontroller by F AT AR .
In this manual we will explain the concepts and techniques of using Master MIDI C ontrollers
to greatly expand your flexibility, creativity, control and productivity in your live or studio
keyboard setup. W hether you are using one multi-timbral sound module or a rack full of them,
this Master C ontroller Keyboard and all the other S tudio Logic C ontrollers by F AT AR will grea-
tly expand your professional and creative abilities.
The concept of a controller is to centralize your accessibility to your MIDI modules. It gives
you a central point of control over your slave modules in a given setup.
Have you ever tried to line up patches in your sound modules so that when you selected a
patch on your keyboard your other sound modules called up the right patch? E ver tried to
locate a patch position to write over a sound that you hopefully won't need later? Tired of
bending down to squint and see the display and program a module at the bottom of your rack?
All of these scenarios are greatly reduced when using a Master C ontroller.
The concept of ZO NE S , S PLITS and LAYE R S is as follows:
A ZO NE consists of a specified range of keys on your keyboard. That range of notes is assigned
parameter messages that are communicated to your slave module(s), this reduces the need to
write and store patches on your module. These parameters may consist of the following infor-
mation: patch number, volume setting, velocity curve, transposition value, pedal enable,
wheels enable, etc.... W hen a patch is selected on your Master C ontroller all of this informa-
tion is sent to your modules instantly. The S tudio Logic S L-760 Master C ontroller by F AT AR has
four (4) completely independent zones, meaning each zone can transmit all of its own infor-
mation on any given MIDI channel. The range of notes in each zone can be setup to be adja-
cent to another ZO NE S range of notes ( one ZO NE ends, going up the keyboard, as another
ZO NE starts) or assigned to overlap each other or any part of each other's ranges. Thus we
introduce the concept of LAYE R S and S PLITS .
A S PLIT is when one ZO NE 's range of notes ends and another ZO NE 's begins. A simple exam-
ple would be Bass in the left hand and Piano in the right hand. A ZO NE 's range of notes can
be any amount of consecutive notes regardless of where another ZO NE 's notes begin. W hen
two or more ZO NE 's range of notes overlap we call this a LAYE R .
LAYE R S are the way we can build fat lush patches using the full potential of what your synths
and modules have to offer. Let's say we have a big pop ballad that needs your special touch?
W e want to create a "P ad Piano" sound to cover the song. Assign each ZO NE to cover the enti-
re keyboard's range of notes. Using the three ZO NE S , assign each of them to play a different
patch: (1) dark rich E lectric Piano, (2) bright ringy E lectric Piano, (3) slow attack S tring P ad
with the release rate up slightly. If one or more patches are not in the same octave as the
others it's easy to fix. G o to that ZO NE 's transpose feature and move it up or down 12 steps
to line it up properly with the others. S omething sounds a little mushy when playing Piano
parts using the S US T AIN PE DAL? T ry going to the ZO NE for the "non Piano" sound and expe-
riment with disabling the S US T AIN PE DAL for that zone. W ithin moments you should have a
deep, rich, rather large and musically useful sounding patch to use on your ballad.
Are you beginning to see the possibilities here? Please step inside the manual and we'll take
you through the simple yet versatile features of the S tudio Logic 760 Master C ontroller by
F AT AR .
