Aftertouch Calibration; Keyboard Size Calibration; Power Source; Writing Global Settings - Novation SL MkII User Manual

Aftertouch Calibration

To calibrate the aftertouch press a keyboard key down with enough pressure to fully engage the aftertouch mechanism
and hold the key in that position. Whilst holding the key down, use encoder 4 to increase the 'Set' value from 0. Whilst
increasing the 'Set' value watch the 'Read' value, which will automatically start increasing from 0. As soon as the 'Read'
value reaches 127 stop increasing the 'Set' value and release the key. Try fully pressing some other keys to make sure that
the 'Read' value reaches 127 when the aftertouch mechanism is fully engaged. If it does not reach 127 then increase the
'Set' value so that it does (it may only require an increase of 1 or 2).

Keyboard Size Calibration

This option is not displayed on the LCD, but a further calibration available on this page is setting the keyboard size of your
unit. Press the bottom and top keyboard keys at the same time. 'Octaves' and the number of octaves on the keyboard (2,
3 or 5) will appear on the display to show that the SL MkII has recognised the correct keyboard size. This should only need
to be done if the LCD shows the incorrect number of octaves when the SL MkII is powering up.
Power
The power source is displayed underneath 'Power'; 'USB', 'PSU' will be shown. The power source cannot be set from the
Global menu. Use the power select switch on the back of the SL MkII to set the power source.

WRItInG GLoBAL SEttInGS

To save all global settings, press the WRITE button whilst in the Global menu. It is important to do this after calibrating
the joystick, aftertouch, keyboard size or drum pads. Remember that global settings can be saved regardless of whether
memory protect is set to 'ON' or 'OFF'.

The second row of buttons below the sliders can either be used as transport control, or for use within the current
template (either as Automap or Advanced mode MIDI buttons).
When lit, the buttons will be available as transport controls. This will also be indicated in the Automap HUD when in
Automap Mode.
In Advanced Mode you can edit the MIDI message the Transport Buttons send in the same way as any other control.
