Novation ReMOTE SL COMPACT, User Manual

Page: 42 / 70

The fourth page of the Global Menu is for template dumping and operation system control, as follows:
Template Dump: The first two options on this page allow you to dump templates in sysex format from the SL Compact to
your computer or another MIDI device for backing up or editing in the Template Editor software. The first option allows you
to dump a single template. Rotate ENCODER 1 to select which template you want to dump (range is Current, 1-40), then
press the button above to send the template. Press the button above ‘All’ to send all templates.
Send Globals: Press the button above this option to dump the Global settings in sysex format.
Ports: This option sets where Template and Global sysex dumps are sent to. The choices are the same as the options
for ‘MIDITo’ on Page 2 of the Global Menu (See page 40).
Midi O/S (Operating System): Press the buttons directly above Send or Receive to transmit or listen for an operating
system (OS) sysex dump on the MIDI In and Out connectors on the back of the SL Compact.
USB1 O/S (Operating System): Press the button above Receive to prepare the SL Compact to receive an OS sysex
dump on USB Port 1. This will activate a screen where you can confirm or cancel the OS update using the EDIT or WRITE
buttons respectively.
The fifth page of the Global Menu is for calibration of the wheels and keyboard aftertouch, as well as showing the current
power status of the SL Compact, as follows:
To calibrate the pitch wheel, slowly move it from the centre up to the top, then to the bottom and back to the centre again.
Do not force the wheel at the end of its travel. Repeat this and look at the value under ‘Pitch’ on the SL Compact display.
It should now reach 255 when the wheel reaches the top of its travel and 0 when it reaches the bottom of its travel.
To calibrate the mod wheel, slowly move it from the bottom, up to the top and then back to the bottom again. Do not force
the wheel at the end of its travel. Repeat this and look at the value under ‘Mod’ on the SL Compact display. It should now
reach 127 when the wheel reaches the top of its travel and 0 when it reaches the bottom of its travel.
To calibrate the aftertouch, press a keyboard key down with enough pressure to fully engage the aftertouch mechanism and
hold the key in that position. Whilst holding the key down, use ENCODER 4 to increase the ‘Set’ value from 0. Whilst
increasing the ‘Set’ value, watch the ‘Read’ value which will automatically start increasing from 0. As soon as the ‘Read’
value reaches 127, stop increasing the ‘Set’ value and release the key. Try fully pressing some other keys to make sure that
the ‘Read’ value reaches 127 when the aftertouch mechanism is fully engaged. If it does not reach 127 then increase the
‘Set’ value so that it does (it may only require an increase of 1 or 2).
A further calibration available on this page is setting the keyboard size of your unit. Press the bottom and top keyboard keys
at the same time. ‘Octaves’ and the number of octaves on the keyboard (2 or 4) will appear on the display to show that the
SL Compact has recognised the correct keyboard size. After carrying out the above calibrations press WRITE to save
the settings.
The current power source is displayed below ‘Power’. This reads either USB or PSU depending on whether power is supplied
over USB or using an external PSU
