MIDI OUT CONNECTIONS

ZONE SELECT
MIDI OUT Connections: The MIDI OUT jacks are where you connect your Studio Logic SL-880
Master Controller to your various MIDI sound sources. Using a standard 5 pin DIN MIDI cable,
connect the Studio Logic MIDI OUT to your MIDI input jack on your synthesizer, sound modu-
le or other MIDI equipped keyboard. You may use the THRU (daisy chain) feature on your MIDI
gear to connect to other MIDI modules if you like. Avoid daisy chaining more than 2 modu-
les, if possible, to reduce the possibility of MIDI log jam or timing delays. The Studio Logic
SL-880 conveniently is supplied with two parallel (identical) MIDI OUT jacks on the rear panel
to help reduce the possibility of timing delays when connecting to multiple MIDI sound modu-
les. When connecting multiple devices to your SL-880 allocate them equally across the two
MIDI OUT connections on this keyboard.

Description of Front Panel Controls and Features:
What are they, what do they do and how do I use them?
Located on the top panel there are the (3) ZONE buttons for the (1) enabling and disabling of
the three keyboard ZONES while in play mode and (2) selecting the ZONES while in EDIT MODE.
The LED indicators will be lit up when its corresponding zone is active or selected for editing.
In PLAY mode any combination of ZONES may be on or off at any point in time. However, in
EDIT mode the ZONE switches may only be used to select one ZONE at a time. Only one ZONE
at a time may be edited and therefore only one ZONE light may be lit at a time while in EDIT
mode. You are able to jump from ZONE to ZONE while in edit mode by depressing the corre-
sponding ZONE BUTTONS.
Please note that you may only press a zone button and disable or^nable a zone while no notes
are depressed on the keyboard or while the sustain pedal is being depressed.
