10 KEYPAD,

(H) AND (-),

(ON) AND (OFF):

As you have most likely figured out by this point the Studio Logic Master Controller SL-880
uses the keyboard itself in EDIT mode as the 10 KEY KEYPAD and data entry source. The keys
in the central octave, starting at the middle C, are assigned to specific functions for data entry
in EDIT mode and are clearly labeled as indicated in the diagram below. While you are in the
EDIT mode and using the numerical keypad the keyboard itself does not transmit MIDI notes
and performance information. You must exit the EDIT mode to play notes from the keyboard.

Programming the Studio Logic SL-880 Master Controller:

Creating musically useful Patches and how to do it.

Before we get into some programming examples and tips, the following information is about

the design architecture and how the Studio Logic SL-880 Master Controller operates.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

When your Master Controller is switched on for the first time it will transmit the following
default settings: ^

ZONE #1 ON, Zones #2,#3 OFF. The three zones are set to transmit on MIDI channels

1 through 3 respectively, their SPLIT is set to the full extension of all 88 keys and all
switchable commands are in the ON position.

All ZONES set to SHAPE #1, VELOCITY = 4, TRANSPOSE = 0.
VOLUME SETTINGS OF 127 if no VOLUME PEDAL is connected. If a VOLUME

PEDAL is connected whatever position the pedal is in will be transmitted.

SUSTAIN OFF. (PEDAL is enabled but in the off position, CC 64 - 0)

PITCH BEND value = 0, MODULATION WHEEL value =0

GENERAL RESET

To reset the unit to the above factory settings:

Power up the keyboard while holding down all three UP-DOWN-ENTER buttons, hold for a few

seconds then release all three buttons, c
