2. 3 Advanced routing with the SL
As the ReMOTE SL has two USB MIDI In ports and two USB MIDI Out ports (Ua and Ub), as well as two hardware MIDI Out ports,
complex MIDI setups are possible. Here is an example of one such setup with instructions on how to configure the SL for it:

- Sequencer running 32 plug-ins with 3 external sound modules also connected
In this example, the SL is controlling 16 different MIDI Instruments (plug-ins) on MIDI channels 1-16 on the SL USB Port 1 (USBa) and
another 16 on MIDI channels 1-16 on the SL USB Port 2 (USBb). So, if a Native Instruments Pro-53 is number 28 in that list, then the
output port for all controls on the Pro-53 SL Template will need to be sent to MIDI channel 12 and Port USBb. All assignable controls within
a factory preset Template will already be set to the Template Common MIDI Channel (‘ComnCHAN’) and Port (‘ComnPORT’), rather than
having an individual routing. This means that all the controls in that Template (all the assigned knobs, buttons, sliders etc.) can be set to the
same routing simultaneously, without having to change each control’s settings individually. To configure this, just press the TEMPLATE button
whilst the Pro-53 Template is selected, which will access the Template Common Menu:
(TEMPLATE Common Parameter Edit Screen)
On this screen, the Common MIDI channel and port can be set to 12 and USBb (Ub), respectively, as shown. Note that the Keyboard
MIDI channel and port should also be set identically.
