ZONE FUNCTIONS
The zone functions contain a separate set of parameters for each zone. This means that every SL-2001 preset has eight sep-
arate storage areas to save the parameters for each zone. Whenever a zone-programmable function is edited, the zone digit(s)
will appear after the Preset digits. Always check the zone display before editing any parameters, otherwise you might begin
to modify the wrong zone. The best way to identify the current zone is to temporarily go to the ZONE function screen (FUNC-
TION switch 4) and check the output device to which it is assigned. Use the left or right arrow ( < > ) switches to changes
zones if necessary. Also check that the zone you are editing is active (the indicator on the ZONE switch must be lit) so that
the results of the edit will be audible.
Once all zones have been edited or programmed as desired, the Store function must be used to save the changes into a SL-
2001 preset. The zone copy function is useful for creating presets, as many zones will have similar parameters (see section
4 under “Storing Presets”).
To modify a zone-programmable function, enter Edit Mode and select the desired screen using FUNCTION switches 4
through 8.
ZONE
The SL-2001 operates by routing MIDI data from the master (or external) keyboards to the sound modules via eight MIDI
processors or “zones”. To establish these links, the zones must be configured to receive the information from the perfor-
mance device and send it the output devices.
The ZONE function is used to configure the eight zones as needed for the preset. The zone configuration is the most basic
of all SL-2001 functions and should be edited or checked before any other parameters are modified. After selecting the ZONE
edit screen, the left and right arrow switches ( ß © ) can be used to quickly scan the input and output assignments for each zone.
Note that the zone digit is displayed to indicate the number of the zone currently being edited. Control Slider 1 is used to
select the zone input device, and Control Slider 2 is used to select the output device. In the example screen, Kybd2 is now
able to send MIDI information to Mod#3 via zone number one. All of the MIDI devices installed during the Device Installation
will appear on Control Slider 1 or 2. Selecting devices from this list is equivalent to programming the zone input and output
for a specific MIDI port and channel (implicit in the device name). MIDI units installed as Auxiliary devices may be selected
for a zone output, although in most cases they will be accessed only on the AUX PROG screen.

The top line of the screen displays the names of the Auxiliary devices (the letter A in the lower corner distinguishes this screen
from the Program, Volume, and Transpose screens which are very similar in appearance). Control Sliders 1 through 4 are
used to select the program number that will be issued to each device as the SL-2001 preset is entered (program changes will
be issued as the sliders are adjusted). These program numbers should match the numbers displayed by each actual MIDI
device; if not, the program format was incorrectly entered during device installation (see section 4). If no program change is
desired, adjust the slider until two dashes appear under the device name. To select program numbers for devices five through
eight, use the Star switch to access the alternate screen. Unlike the Program, Volume, and Transpose screens (section 8), the
order of the names has no correlation with the Data Paths. If there are less than five Auxiliary devices, the alternate screen
will not be displayed.
SWITCH MODES
The SL-2001 provides five local switches which may be programmed to perform many useful functions during Perform Mode.
Each switch (A, B, C, Star, and Alpha) may be set for either a momentary response or toggle mode. In Perform Mode the cur-
rent state of all switches is displayed on the SL-2001 front panel. Switches A, B, and C appear in the text display; the Star and
Alpha switches each have LED indicators.
Use Control Slider 1 to select the name of the switch. Control Slider 2 sets the mode (Toggle or Momentary). In Toggle Mode,
a switch will change state every time the footswitch is pressed and released. In Momentary Mode, the switch will change
state when the footswitch is first pressed, and then revert to its original state when the footswitch is released. Control Slider
3 is used to set the initial state of each switch as the preset is entered.
