Midi Channel button The MIDI Channel function is used to select which MIDI channel you

want the CMK-161 to send messages on.You can select the MIDI channel number by pressing and hol­ding the MIDI Channel button and entering the number in the second octave/numeric entry field
which corresponds to the channel you desire. Values run from 1-16
The SL-990 XP will transmit on the chosen channel when you let go of the button.
Example: If you want to transmit on MIDI Channel 8,hold down the MIDI Channel button,enter the
number 8 on the numeric entry field and let go of the MIDI Channel button.

sent. Values run from 1-128.
The SL-990 XP will transmit the program change when you let go of the button.
Example:If you want to play sound No.56 on the MIDI device,hold down the Program Change but­ton,enter the number 56 on the numeric entry field and let go of the Program Change button.
The SL-990 XP will now play with sound No.56.

Bank Select Button - The bank select function allows you to change the patch bank of your
MIDI module or keyboard. Due to different manufacturer approaches to this function, the format for
entering this parameter depends on the model and manufacturer of your MIDI module or keyboard.
Please refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart found in the manual of your MIDI module or keyboard for
information on the format that your unit requires.

1) If your module requires a value sent only on control channel 32,you will simply need to press and hold
the Bank Select button, and enter the bank number desired in the second octave/numeric entry field.
When you release the Bank Select button,the message will be sent.

2) If your module requires values to be sent on control channel 32 and control channel 0,you will need
to press and hold the Bank Select button,and first enter the value needed for cc;32 in the second octa­ve/numeric entry field.Then,while continuing to hold the Bank Select button,press the key labeled “-/H”
(indicates that what follows is the “higher byte”) and then enter the value needed for cc;0 in the second
octave/numeric entry field.When you release the Bank Select button,the messages will be sent.
The SL-990 XP will transmit the bank change when you let go of the button.

NOTE: Together with the Bank Select command,the SL-990 XP also sends the last Program Change
number entered. This is because not all MIDI devices will switch the bank unless they subsequently
receive a Program Change.

Transpose Button - The Transposition function is used to transpose the output of the SL-990 XP.
The transposition range is +/- 24 semitones. You can select the transposition amount (up or down) by
pressing and holding the Transpose button and entering the number in the second octave/numeric
entry field which corresponds to the transposition amount you desire.Please note that to enter nega­tive (down) transposition amount you must first enter “-“,which can be found on the “Bb”key (-/H)
When you let go of the button,the SL-990 XP will now be transposed by the amount chosen.
If you want to cancel the transposition and return to a value of 0,just press the Transpose button once
without entering any number.
Example: If you want to obtain a transposition of pitch to 7 semitones higher (a 5th),hold down the
Transpose button, enter the number 7 on the numeric entry field and let go of the Transpose button.
The SL-990 XP will now play 7 semitones higher.(EX;A played “C”will sound as a “G”).

MEMORY FUNCTIONS

The SL-990 XP can store MIDI settings in 100 memory locations for quick recall.
To store a setting,hold down both the 1) Bank Select and 2) MEMORY buttons and enter the memory
location number that you wish to store the settings to on the second octave/numeric entry field.
The SL-990 XP will store your settings in the memory location when you let go of the buttons.
To recall a setting stored previously,hold down the MEMORY button and enter your chosen memory
location number.
The SL-990 XP will quickly recall the stored setting when you let go of the button.

NOTE: If you become confused during programming and cannot remember what you have done,
press the Bank Select button and enter the number 1 on the second octave/numeric entry field imme­diately after turning on the SL-990 XP. When you let go of the button, the SL-990 XP will send a
Program Change command with number 1 and a Bank Select command with number 1 so that you can
be sure of finding the MIDI device in a known and controllable setting.
