DRUM PAD notE (DRUMnotE)

This option only applies to the drum pads and allows you to set them up to send MIDI note data when hit. The velocity value 
sent is always dependent on how hard you hit the drum pads and cannot be set to a fixed value. The Ports, MidiChan and 
Name settings are the same as for Control Change (CC) so see that section for information on these settings.

Note:

 This is the same as for ‘NOTE ON/OFF’ so see that section for information on this setting.

Auto-Off: 

This sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) that a note off message is sent after the drum pad has been hit.  

It can be set to ‘NONE’, in which case a note off message is not sent at all, or from 10ms to 16383ms.

Off Sync:

 This sets the timing reference for the note off message that is sent after the drum pad has been hit. It can be 

set to ‘TIMER’, in which case the note off message will be transmitted after the number of milliseconds Auto-Off is set to 
(or if Auto-Off is set to ‘NONE’ no note off message will be sent at all). The other options allow you to set a note length, 
in which case the SL MkII will ignore the Auto-Off setting. Instead it uses MIDI clock as a timing reference and sends a 
note off message after the selected note length has passed. If you are recording notes into a sequencer then you will 
need to make sure that you are sending MIDI clock from the sequencer to the SL MkII and that the SL MkII is set to sync 
to incoming MIDI clock. The range of the note length setting ranges from 32nd triplet to 12 bars. When selecting a note 
length, ‘T’ indicates a triplet note length and ‘D’ indicates a dotted note length.  

SyStEM REAL tIME (REALtIME) 

The Ports and Name settings are the same as for Control Change (CC) so see that section for information on  
these settings. 

The available options for this setting are standard MIDI system real time messages: start (RT-Start), continue (RT-Contu), 
stop (RT-Stop), active sensing (RT-Actvs) and system reset (RT-Reset).  

PItCH BEnD (PItCHBnD) 

This option only applies to the X-Y touchpad and horizontal (pitch) axis of the joystick. No other controls on the SL MkII can 
be assigned to send pitch bend messages. There are no options for limiting the control value as this can be done on the 
instrument you are controlling by altering the pitch bend up/down range (if the option is available). The Ports, MidiChan and 
Name settings are the same as for Control Change (CC) so see that section for information on these settings.

tEMPLAtE

This option is different to the others describe above in that it is not a type of MIDI message. Instead this option allows you 
to set any control button, drum pad or the sustain pedal to switch to another template on the SL MkII. No MIDI message is 
sent when you operate a Template control.
