PROGRAM
To create or change a SL-1100 preset, it is necessary to enter Edit Mode. Most of the parameters
in the preset are associated with one of the four keyboard zones. The procedure for changing
any of these zone parameters is as follows:
1) Enter Edit Mode by pressing and holding one of the four ZONE switches.
2) Press the FUNCTION switch which is labeled with the desired parameter.
3) Release both switches. The ZONE switch will blink to indicate that its parameters are
editable. Pressing any FUNCTION switch repeatedly will cycle through the three parameters
available on the switch.
4) Change the current value with the CSL/DATA slider.
5) Press the blinking ZONE switch to exit Edit Mode.
There is no Store function on the SL-1100; any parameter that was changed in Edit Mode is
automatically updated in internal memory. Note that the Zone switches must be in the desired
state before entering edit mode. These are the settings that will be stored into the preset upon
returning to Perform Mode. To change the stored Zone switch settings for a preset, set the
Zones as desired, and enter Edit Mode using any combination of a Zone switch and a Function
switch. Press the blinking switch to exit Edit Mode, and the new Zone settings will be saved.
Each keyboard zone on the SL-1100 has several parameters which must be set to access the
desired sound from the sound module. The following sections describe the purpose of each
zone function.
These functions are used to set the range of active keys for the zone. To set the lowest active
key, press and hold the desired ZONE switch. Press the FUNCTION 1 switch, then release both
switches. The Zone switch will blink, and the LED display indicates the lowest active key. Use
the DATA slider to set a new value. To set the highest active key, press FUNCTION switch 1
again. The LED display now will indicate the highest active key which may be changed with the
DATA slider. Press the blinking switch to exit the edit mode.
For convenience, an alternate programming method is available which is faster than setting the
key limits with the slider. First press and hold the ZONE switch to be edited. Press the
FUNCTION 1 switch. Release both switches. The ZONE switch will now blink, and the LED
will display the lowest active key. Play two keys on the keyboard (the order does not matter) to
program the new low and high keys. The Edit mode will terminate automatically.
The Program function is used to issue a MIDI program change command at the instant a SL-1100
preset is selected. The Program number is set independently for each of the four keyboard
zones. To set the MIDI program, press and hold the desired ZONE switch, and press the
FUNCTION 2 switch. Release both switches. The ZONE switch will blink. The display will
indicate the MIDI program ( 1 through 128). Change the setting with the DATA slider (the
program change commands will be issued as the slider is moved). If no program change is
desired select the dash (-). Press either blinking switch to exit the edit mode.
For convenience a special Program Change function is available from Perform Mode. Press and
hold a ZONE switch, then simply enter the program number (1 through 128) on the labeled
black keys (the digits will appear on the display as they are entered). When the ZONE switch is
released, the entered program number will be issued on the channel corresponding to the zone.
The current MIDI Bank number may be selected in a similar fashion. Press and hold a ZONE
switch, then momentarily press the black BANK key. Enter the desired bank on the numbered
black keys. A Bank Select message will be issued when the ZONE switch is released.

ZONES
OPERATION

MODE
The SL-1100 is designed with four independent keyboard zones. Each zone is intended to control a
different sound by transmitting messages on a unique MIDI channel. Each zone may be active over
the entire keyboard, or limited to any desired set of (adjacent) keys. The diagram below shows an
example of how different sounds in one preset might be “mapped” across the keyboard.
Notice that the relationship between zone number and MIDI channel number is arbitrary; the channel
associated with each zone may be different in each SL-1100 preset. To simplify the creation of presets
it may be helpful to use consistent MIDI channels numbers for the zones all presets.
The SL-1100 has two modes of operation, Perform Mode and Edit Mode. Some of the switches and
sliders have different functions depending on the mode (refer to the front panel illustration).
During live performance or recording sessions, the SL-1100 will usually be in Perform Mode. In
this mode, the four upper left switches (PRESET / FUNCTION) are used to select one of the
thirty two presets. Press any of these switches to change the current preset. There are 8 banks
of four presets; to change to a different bank, press the left or right arrow switches (PRESET)
until the desired bank number is displayed.
The four ZONE switches are used to enable or disable certain sounds. For example, a piano
sound may be active on Zone 1 during part of a musical performance. At some point during the
song, the Piano sound is switched off, and a solo instrument sound is switched on using Zone
switch 2. The same result could be achieved by switching to a different SL-1100 preset, but it is
more efficient to use the zone switches for basic sound switching.
The left control slider on the front panel acts as a general purpose controller when the unit is in
Perform Mode. The MIDI controller number for the slider is stored as part of the preset data.
