2. 1 Using the SL as a MIDI Interface

The following sections are a guide to more advanced MIDI setups with the SL.

The multiple MIDI connections on the rear panel of the SL mean that the unit can be used as a MIDI interface, to send data from 

a sequencer to external MIDI equipment, whilst using the SL to control plug-ins running within the session. Simply connect the SL to 

a computer over USB in addition to connecting to the sound module using a standard MIDI cable (Fig. 3).

For this setup to work, the MIDI information being received by the SL must be sent to the relevant MIDI output. This is done by routing the

data correctly within the SL Global settings. For example, if the output in the sequencer MIDI track is set to input 1 of the SL (USBa – see

section 2. 2 for details) then this will need to be sent to the relevant MIDI Out port on the rear panel. In this case of Fig. 3 this will be MIDI

Out Port 1 (M1); so USBa should be set to M1. To access the page where these settings can be made, press the GLOBAL button, followed

by the SCROLL UP button to the left or right of the screens. For a more detailed explanation of the GLOBAL Menu, refer to section 6 of 

this Guide.

If wanting to use the SL to control plug-ins within the sequencer but not the attached sound module in the setup above (Fig. 3), the MIDI

data being sent by the SL when buttons are pushed or keys played will need to be sent to the USB ports (USBa and/or USBb – see section

2.2 for details) but not the MIDI Port 1 Out of the SL (M1). This is set up in either of the Template Edit Menus, Template Individual (EDIT

Mode) or Template Common (TEMPLATE Mode), depending on the complexity of the SL’s Template settings. For a more detailed explanation

of MIDI routing options, refer to section 5.1.1 of this Guide.
