The SL MkIII’s pads can now be used to make sequencer transposition a powerful performance tool. Pattern octave transpose Highly customisable mappings for hardware and software easily control everything. Or create your own templates in the software editor, and save them to the keyboard. I’m going to walk you through how to set up your SL MkIII with Pro Tools. Please ensure that your SL MkIII is connected to your computer and powered on. These will walk you through how to set up your SL MkIII with Cubase. Please ensure that your SL MkIII is connected to your computer and powered on.

We're going to show you how to set up your SL MkIII with Studio One 4. Please ensure that your SL MkIII is connected to your computer via USB and powered on. Bass Station II: Hold the 'Save', 'Patch left' and 'Patch right' buttons and power on the Bass Station IIEasily integrate hardware with your DAW – get the best of both worlds, recording any electronic performance from one studio centrepiece If you are not already, please try updating your firmware using the standalone version of Components. With the introduction of SI MKIII v1.3, you'll be able to utilise unquantised recording. v1.2 introduced micro-step editing (letting you position notes off the grid). This resulted in minute timing variations. Now with unquantised recording, you can record directly into these microsteps. V1.4 Firmware Update On this screen, you can edit the messages sent out by the Sustain, Footswitch, and Expression Pedals on your device: The Template Editor is broken into 7 sections for the following features on the device: Rotary Controls, Faders, Buttons, Pads, Wheels, Pedals, and Keys. Along the top row of the editor, you can save to Template Pool, store to PC and Store to SL MK3:

The first is a Scale mode, which allows the keyboard to be assigned one of 15 scale types with adjustable root note. There’s a choice of three ways the keyboard can be set to respond to these scales: display, in which the keyboard’s light guide displays the appropriate notes, but all keyboard notes remain active; snap, where notes played outside the scale jump to the nearest note in the scale; and filter, where notes outside the selected scale are de-activated. The primary stand‑alone mode is Sequencer. This puts you in charge of eight Parts, which are displayed along the bottom of the screens and selected with the adjacent buttons. Each Part is a MIDI control template selected from the pool of templates currently stored in the unit. Templates recall MIDI assignments for the buttons and faders, pads, mod wheel and two banks of rotaries. The factory set on my unit contained a generic template plus templates for all Novation’s synths and a host of other, mostly contemporary, synths and drum machines.The downside was it took work to set up, and relied on local settings files on your machine. With modern displays, and the move towards computer independence and integration with Components, I can understand why Novation would step away from Automap. It does leave something of a gap though that’s filled, or not, in different ways depending on your DAW. You can also set the MIDI channel for each rotary control. The 'Default Channel' is the channel that the template is set up on, you can as well set the parameter change on a separate midi channel.: If you’re using a PC, go to Option > Preferences > Link MIDI. Then, select the SL MKIII as a control surface, and select the input and output to Novation SL MKIII (MIDI2), which is how the InControl mode is displayed on PC. We're going to show you how to set up your SL MkIII with Reason. Please ensure that your SL MkIII is connected to your computer via USB and powered on.
