This resulting rhythm only affects the timing of the played notes and does not change the order in which they are
played.

Additional Arp Notes
While using Up/Down 1 with octave range greater than 1, if moving in the down direction, reducing the octave range
to 1 will cause the Arp to continue falling through all the octaves until 1 is reached, at which point it will stay within the
1-octave range. (Those familiar with Novation’s Mininova will recognise this be-haviour). If moving in the up direction,
the arpeggiator will reset to the first oc-tave after it has completed all the notes in the sequence within the current oc-
tave it is playing in.
When using Up/Down 2, if the top/bottom note is released after it has played just once, Arp will immediately switch
direction and play the next high-est/lowest note only once and continue in that direction. This behaviour main-tains
timing if the top note is removed and replaced with another note.
When switching between directional arpeggiator types during playback, Arp will not reset position but will continue
moving in the same direction (if supported by the new Type) until it reaches an extremity. For example, if switching
from Down type to Up/Down 1 Type, the arpeggiator will continue moving down until it reaches the lowest note.
5. Global Settings, Page 1: MIDI Settings
Press the Global button to enter the Global Settings View. Any settings changed in this View affect the whole device
and do not change with the Session. These settings save when the device is turned off via the power switch. If the
power cable is removed, however, these settings will not be saved.
Press the Up/Down arrows next to the screen to navigate through three pages of global settings and information.
A.
Velocity Curve
You can change the responsiveness of your SL MkIII keyboard via the ‘Velocity Curve’ setting:
1.
Navigate to the Global Settings menu by simply pressing Global.
2.
The menu item labelled ‘Velocity Curve’ will indicate the current velocity curve.
3.
Next, choose from the following velocity options:
• Low
• Low+
• Normal
•
• High
• Fixed
‘Low’ skews MIDI toward lower values. In other words, while it is quite easy to render low velocity values, getting ve-
locity values of, say, 127 will require a lot of physical force. With ‘Low +’ it is slightly easier to get higher velocities; with
‘Normal’ and ‘’ achieving higher velocities gets progressively easier.
‘High’ means that velocities skew the most readily toward high values. Even when pressing keys very lightly, it is
difficult to achieve low velocities. This could be, for example, a helpful feature for a player with a light touch who wants
their velocities to lean toward higher values.
•
Fixed Velocity
Lastly, if you select ‘Fixed’ the same MIDI velocity will be output regardless of how hard or soft you press a key. A
menu item next to Velocity Curve called ‘Fixed Velocity’ will appear when Fixed is selected, and this is where you
specify the MIDI velocity to be sent for each key press.

MIDI Clock Rx
Similar to the case of MIDI Clock transmission (see the following section), the following steps enable or disable the
receiving of external MIDI clock messages:
