MIDI SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION
The thirty-two SL-1100 internal presets may be loaded from an external computer or storage
device. The output of the storage device must be connected to the MIDI input of the SL-1100. If
the SL-1100 receives the correct system-exclusive identifier, the preset data will be loaded into
memory. If the identifier does not match, the system-exclusive data will be passed to the SL-
1100 outputs.
MIDI OUTPUTS: Connect sound modules and other MIDI devices to either of the two parallel
MIDI outputs (the data is identical on both outputs). To connect more than two devices, use the
MIDI through on each device to connect to the MIDI input of another device. The SL-1100 will
access up to sixteen separate MIDI channels under preset control. Sound modules with the
same channel settings will be treated as a single sound source by the SL-1100.
The thirty-two internal presets may be saved to an external computer or storage device. The
MIDI output of the SL-1100 must be connected to the MIDI input of the storage device. Consult
the section on Program Save and Load for additional information.
CONTROL VOLTAGE INPUTS: One input is provided for an external analog controller. An
optional control pedal is available from your dealer, or any DC control voltage source may be
used. The input voltage range is 0 to 5 volts DC, which corresponds to a MIDI control range of 0
to 7F hex. The control pedal is most commonly used to control master volume, but it may be
programmed to issue any MIDI control change message.
The illustration shows a typical MIDI setup for live performance. The SL-1100 is driving three
sound modules. In this example, Sound Module 1 is multi-timbral, and will respond to MIDI
messages on channels one through 8.
Sound Module 2 is two-part multi-timbral, and is set to respond to MIDI channels nine and ten.
Sound module 3 is not multi-timbral,and is programmed to receive on MIDI channel 11. With
this setup, every channel of the sound modules may be accessed independently by the SL-1100
(there are no overlapping MIDI channels).

DEMONSTRATION PRESET 14: This preset demonstrates a velocity cross-fade. For notes
played softly on the keyboard, only MIDI channel 1 should play at maximum volume. As the
notes are struck more forcefully, this sound will become softer, and the sound on MIDI channel
2 will become louder.
- Full-size 88-key weighted action with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch.
- Three digit LED display for preset number and parameter editing.
- Thirty-two internal presets; internal programs may be saved and loaded via MIDI system exclusive.
- MIDI input is merged into the MIDI output.
- Two parallel MIDI output jacks.
- Full-size Pitch and Modulation wheels. Wheels may be enabled and disabled for each keyboard zone.
- Programmable control slider. The slider can be programmed to issued and MIDI control change message.
- Input for optional pedal controller to control volume or other functions.
- Four programmable zones may be defined over any region of the keyboard.
- Presets may be changed with an external MIDI device.
- Independent MIDI program change messages issued by each zone.
- Zones programmable to transmit on any MIDI channel.
- Volume initialization messages for each zone.
- Velocity sensitivity control for each zone with positive and negative response.
- Aftertouch may be enabled or disabled for each zone under preset control.
- Programmable transpose for each keyboard zone.
- Power Requirements: 9VDC at 200mA (center contact positive).
The SL-1100 serves as the master controller for any group of MIDI instruments and accessories.
A MIDI input is provided which allows flexibility in multi-keyboard setups. Data from this input
is merged into the two MIDI outputs.
Four programmable keyboard zones provided fast and easy control over essential functions. A
large three digit LED displays the current preset as well as parameter data. All programmable
parameters may be accessed quickly via the four ZONE switches and the four FUNCTION
switches.
The SL-1100 will command up to sixteen different MIDI channels, with keyboard control of four
different channels simultaneously. The two parallel MIDI outputs are a convenient way to hook
up several MIDI devices without the use of MIDI splitters or routers.
MIDI INPUT: Messages received by this input are merged with the data from the keyboard zones and
sent to the two parallel MIDI outputs. These messages may include any of the following types:
