You can send MIDI messages to control the SL-2 from an external device.
You can also make the tempo of the SL-2 match that of the external device, so that the slice patterns on the SL-2 play back in sync with the external device.
Controlling the SL-2 using control change messages
Control number |
Function |
Explanation |
|---|---|---|
CC#16 |
EXP |
Controls the output level of the effect sound. This gives the same effect as when you’re operating an externally-connected expression pedal. |
CC#80 |
EFFECTS ON/OFF |
Turns the effects of the SL-2 on/off. |
CC#81 |
TAP TEMPO |
Sets the tempo of the SL-2 in time with the interval in which control change messages are received. |
Using MIDI clocks to synchronize with an external MIDI device
When the SL-2 receives a timing clock (F8H), a start message (FAH), a continue message (FBH) or a stop message (FCH), this device synchronizes its tempo to the external device.
- You can’t use the following operations to set the tempo of the SL-2 while it is synchronized to MIDI clocks.
- Tempo settings (tap tempo) using the pedal switch of the SL-2 or a footswitch connected to the SL-2
- Tempo settings by receiving control change messages (CC#81)
- Tempo settings made via MIDI clocks are not stored in this device.
- MIDI clocks are part of the MIDI system common information (system real-time messages). As such, they don’t have MIDI channel settings.
- When a start (FAH) message is received, the slice pattern is output from the beginning.
