CHANGING THE SETTINGS:

Program Change Button -The program change function is used to select which preset sound
you want from your MIDI module.You can select the program change number by pressing and holding the
Program Change button and entering the number in the second octave/numeric entry field which corre-
sponds to the preset sound you desire.When you release the Program Change button, the message will be
sent.Values run from 1-128.
The SL-990 XP will transmit the program change when you let go of the button.
Example: If you want to play sound No. 56 on the MIDI device, hold down the Program Change button,
enter the number 56 on the numeric entry field and let go of the Program Change button.
The SL-990 PRO will now play with sound No. 56.
Bank Select Button - The bank select function allows you to change the patch bank of your
MIDI module or keyboard. Due to different manufacturer approaches to this function, the format for
entering this parameter depends on the model and manufacturer of your MIDI module or keyboard.
Please refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart found in the manual of your MIDI module or keyboard
for information on the format that your unit requires.
1) If your module requires a value sent only on control channel 32, you will simply need to press and
e n g l i s h
2
hold the Bank Select button, and enter the bank number desired in the second octave/numeric entry
field. When you release the Bank Select button, the message will be sent.
2) If your module requires values to be sent on control channel 32 and control channel 0, you will need
to press and hold the Bank Select button, and first enter the value needed for cc; 32 in the second octa-
ve/numeric entry field. Then, while continuing to hold the Bank Select button, press the key labeled "-
/H" (indicates that what follows is the "higher byte") and then enter the value needed for cc;0 in the
second octave/numeric entry field.When you release the Bank Select button, the messages will be sent.
The SL-990 XP will transmit the bank change when you let go of the button.
Shape Key – Now let's consider the programming of the shapes, of the curves of the dynamics,
that is.
If you want to adapt your own masterkeyboard to the response to the dynamics of the expander or
the MIDI device, or if you want to adapt the keyboard response to your own touch on the keyboard,
the SL-990 in the Shape mode offers 4 different kinds of curves:
PRO
- Shape N°1 has a linear response and corresponds fairly closely to most of the MIDI devices on sale.
- Shape N°2 has a less sensitive response and you must therefore play with a little more pressure; in
some cases this can be described as more expressive; it can also be useful to use this if the Midi recei-
ving device is too sensitive.
- Shape N°3 has an even less sensitive response than the previous one.
- Shape N°4 has a less sensitive response than shape N°3.
NOTE: Together with the Bank Select command, the SL-990
number entered. This is because not all MIDI devices will switch the bank unless they subsequently
receive a Program Change.

MEMORY FUNCTIONS

The SL-990 can store MIDI settings in 100 memory locations for quick recall.
PRO
To store a setting, hold down both the 1) Bank Select and 2) MEMORY buttons and enter the memory
location number that you wish to store the settings to on the second octave/numeric entry field.
The SL-990 will store your settings in the memory location when you let go of the buttons.
PRO
To recall a setting stored previously, hold down the MEMORY button and enter your chosen memory
location number.
The SL-990 PRO will quickly recall the stored setting when you let go of the button.
NOTE: If you become confused during programming and cannot remember what you have done,
press the Bank Select button and enter the number 1 on the second octave/numeric entry field imme-
diately after turning on the SL-990 PRO . When you let go of the button, the SL-990
Change command with number 1 and a Bank Select command with number 1 so that you can be sure
of finding the MIDI device in a known and controllable setting.
