GLOBAL FUNCTIONS
Functions in this category have parameters that are globally programmable, which means that there is only one set of values
stored in memory. These values are not dependent on the preset that is selected; they are the same for all presets. All glob-
al-programmable parameter values are stored permanently in memory, even if power to the SL-2001 is switched off. Any time
a Global-programmable parameter is changed, the new value is automatically saved in memory; there is no need to use the
Store Function with any Global-programmable parameter. The new value will remain in memory until edited again.
To modify any Global-programmable functions, enter Edit Mode and press FUNCTION switch 2 until the desired screen
appears.
DEVICES
The Devices screen is used to enter the name and description of all MIDI devices in the system under control of the SL-2001.
This information should be entered into the SL-2001 before any new presets are created. A detailed explanation of the device
installation procedure appears in Section 4.
CHAIN
The Chain screen is used to program sequences of SL-2001 presets. A double footswitch connected to the INC/DEC input is
used to step through the sequence in either direction.
Control Slider 1 is used to select the chain to be programmed or activated. There are twenty-six separate chains available (A
through Z) with eight steps per chain. Use Control Slider 2 to select the chain step number, and Control Slider 3 to set the
preset number for that step. Once all steps have been programmed, select the chain and step number as desired. When the
SL-2001 is returned to Perform Mode, the selected chain will be active. The current chain letter and step number will appear
in the top right corner of the text display. Pressing the INC footswitch at the end of a chain will cause the chain to loop
around to step number 1.
PRESET-CHANGE ENABLE
If the SL-2001 presets are to be selected via MIDI program change commands, it is necessary to specify the source of these
commands..

The SL-2001 uses a dynamic memory allocation scheme, which means that the storage space for a preset is dependent on the
number of functions that are active in that preset. It is possible (but very unlikely) that the memory space will become full
before all presets have been programmed. The Memory Used screen displays the percentage of memory that has been pro-
grammed.
The number on the second line indicates the percentage of preset storage memory that has been used. If this number ever
approaches 99%, consider erasing some presets which are not needed to allow space for newer presets.
This screen may also be used to erase data from memory. Use control slider 4 to select the data to be erased. Select Card to
erase the entire contents of a memory card currently inserted into the card slot (the switch on the card must be set for Enable).
Select All to erase all internal presets and global variables. Select PrstXX or CardXX to erase the current preset.
If the MEMORY-USED screen is entered while a Memory Card preset is active, the indicated percentage refers to the mem-
ory card space.
MEMORY TRANSFER
This utility function is used to transfer a complete set of 64 SL-2001 presets (plus all global-programmable settings) to or from
the memory card. It is also possible to save or load SL-2001 memory to/from a computer via a system-exclusive operation.
Before using the function, make sure that the card has been firmly inserted into the slot on the front panel.
Use Control Slider 1 to select either a Save or Load operation. If presets are to be saved to the card, the Write Protect switch
on the card must be set to Enable. The Alpha switch is used to start execution of the operation. When finished with the card
save operation, set the switch back to Protect.
For system exclusive transfers to a computer, first set the computer to record incoming data. The Alpha switch will start the
transmission of data. The sys-ex data will appear on all four MIDI outputs.
To load the SL-2001 memory via sys-ex, the Alpha switch must be pressed before the data is transmitted from the computer.
Any of the four MIDI inputs will accept the sys-ex data.
