Select Template
To change the Template for a Part:
1 . Press Shift and Sessions buttons to enter the
Templates view .
2 . Select the Part you want to change using the soft
buttons below the screen . By default, these Parts
have the label ‘MIDI’ .
3 . Use the left-most rotary to select a Template . The
rectangle around the selected Template will turn
grey while the Template loads, and white when the
Template has fully loaded .
If the Template doesn’t yet have a name, it will appear
as ‘Template X’ . To rename a Template you can use the
Components software (See “Components” on page 28) .
Select Destination
Each Part can go to one or more destinations . These
destinations can be MIDI or analogue CV/Gate/Mod . To
change the destination for a Part:
1 . Press Shift and Sessions buttons to enter the
Templates view .
2 . Select a Part using a soft button below the screens .
3 . Set the rotary knobs above USB, DIN 1, DIN 2, CV/
Gate one or CV/Gate two to change them (options
listed below) .
• USB: Off/On
• DIN: Off, 1, 2 or Both
• CV/Gate: Off, 1, 2, or Both
The Session stores your destination preferences, so
changing Sessions will change these Destinations .
Channel (MIDI Channel)
The SL MkIII doesn’t have a global MIDI channel, each Part
has its own MIDI channel . The MIDI channel for a Part is set
using the Channel control on the third screen . Move rotary
knob six to change the MIDI channel from 1 to 16 .
Note: Channel 16 is used as a global channel for certain
messages such as program change and song select . If you
set a Part to channel 16 and then change the Session on a
connected device, you might accidentally also change the
Session on SL MkIII and lose unsaved progress .
Input Monitoring
When Input Monitoring is on (it is off by default), MIDI
note messages received by each Part (on the correct
channel) will forward to the Part’s destinations . The internal
Sequencer will always record external MIDI note messages
regardless of this setting .
Edit Part Colour
To change the colour for a part, select a Part and press one
of the eight coloured pads .
