VELOCITY
The Velocity edit screen contains all parameters related to the velocity value of a MIDI note message.
Control Slider 1 is used to set the Velocity-Switch function. This function filters out MIDI note messages based on their veloc-
ity value. When set to All, note messages will pass through the zone regardless of their velocity value. Other settings will
only pass note messages that are above or below a certain velocity value (the range of velocity values for a note-on message
is 1 to 127). The velocity-switch function can be set to pass only notes of velocity greater (or less than) 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96,
or 112. Using the velocity-switch function on two zones simultaneously, the performer can switch between two different
sounds by varying the keyboard playing force. Several zones may be set for increasing switch values, which would allow
the performer to bring in up to eight separate sound layers as the keyboard is played more forcefully.
The Curve, Scale, and Offset parameters are used to modify the dynamic response of a velocity-sensitive sound module. This
has the effect of changing the “feel” of the MIDI control keyboard. The velocity values for note-on messages may be trans-
lated via four different curves. This translation affects the dynamic response by modifying each velocity value before it is sent
to the sound module. The four curves available are Linear, Shelf, +Exponential, and -Exponential.

The PROGRAM screen (and also VOLUME and TRANSPOSE screens) display settings for four zones at once. Note that there
are now two zone digits (14) indicating that you are viewing zones 1 through 4.
The top line of the display shows the output devices to which zones one through four are assigned. The bottom line indi-
cates the number of the program that will be selected on each device as a SL-2001 preset is entered (the letter P distinguish-
es this screen from the VOLUME, TRANSPOSE, and AUX PROG screens). Use the four control sliders to adjust the program
numbers. Program change commands will be issued as the slider is moved. If no program number initialization is desired,
adjust the control slider until two dashes appear under the device name. Setting the slider to this position will also enable
external program change commands to pass through the zone (as long as they are on the same MIDI channel and input port
as the zone). The format of each program number is determined by the Format parameter in the Device Installation (Star)
screen. These numbers should therefore appear exactly as they do on the front panel of the actual MIDI devices.
If a zone is bypassed, the top line of this screen will indicate the output port to which the path is assigned. Program change
commands cannot be issued from a bypassed zone.
In the example screen, zone four is assigned to a device called Rvrb (for Reverb). Normally, a reverb or other effects unit
would be installed as an auxiliary device (see section 6). This would still allow MIDI program initialization of the device,
leaving the zone free for other functions. Some more sophisticated audio effects units are able to respond to MIDI control
change commands (for example, the wet/dry mix on a reverb unit). In this case, we would use a zone so that the reverb
parameter can be controlled in real time using one of the SL-2001 local controllers or a MIDI control (see section 8).
To select program numbers for devices assigned to zones five through eight, press the right arrow switch ( > ); the zone dig-
its will display 58. If more than one zone is assigned to the same output device, the program number may only be entered
for the first zone connected to the device; the program numbers will be blank under the duplicate names. This prevents con-
flicting program numbers from being sent to one device.
