Loading a Session Using Program Change

It is possible to load a Session by sending a ‘program change’ message to the device on channel 16. By default, the 

indicated Session will load instantly. If 64 is added to the program ID the session load will be cued (during playback, 

see Cued Session Switch). 

G. 

Loading a Session Using Song Select

It is possible to load a Session by sending a ‘song select’ message to the SL MkIII while the Sequencer is stopped. 

The session to load is indicated by the song id. 

H. 

Save Lock

The ‘Save Lock’ feature allows you to lock the device to prevent saving Ses-sions. To do this, turn the unit on while 

holding Shift + Save buttons. When the device is turned off using the power button, the setting will save. If save lock is 

on, the LED lighting the Save button will be off, indicating that Sessions cannot save. To turn save lock off, repeat the 

same procedure.

12. Scales

A. 

Enable/Disable Scales

Scales View provides an excellent entry point for beginners to start learning the fundamentals of chords and scales. It 

also serves as an excellent refresher for intermediate players whose knowledge of harmony has become rusty.

Hold Shift then press the Scale button to enable/disable Scales View.

When Scales View is active notes will adhere to whatever scale you select, whether playing the keys or using the Se-

quencer. These scales range from tradi-tional scales of Western music (C Major, E Dorian etc.) to non-Western ones 

like Marva. You can switch between scales in the Scale Settings (see Scale Settings).

When Scale is enabled the LEDs above the keys have the following behaviour:

• 

Root notes light brightly.

• 

Notes in the scale light dimly.

• 

Notes outside of the scale are off (unlit).

In other words, with Scales View on, playing keys (either dimly or brightly lit) guarantees that you are playing notes 

within your chosen scale. 

B. 

Scale Settings

Pressing the ‘Scale’ button brings many Scale Settings onto the screens.

i. 

Root Note 

The left-most option labelled ‘Root’, lets you change the root note of the scale. Turn the rotary knob above to set the 

root of the scale from the following chromatic notes: C, C#, D, E, Eb, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, and B.
