SECTION 1.

Introduction:

Why and how do we use MIDI Controllers? What are Zones? Uses and Applications.

Congratulations on your new purchase of the SL-760 Studio Logic Master Controller by FATAR.

In this manual we will explain the concepts and techniques of using Master MIDI Controllers

to greatly expand your flexibility, creativity, control and productivity in your live or studio

keyboard setup. Whether you are using one multi-timbral sound module or a rack full of them,

this Master Controller Keyboard and all the other Studio Logic Controllers by FATAR will grea-

tly expand your professional and creative abilities.

The concept of a controller is to centralize your accessibility to your MIDI modules. It gives

you a central point of control over your slave modules in a given setup.

Have you ever tried to line up patches in your sound modules so that when you selected a

patch on your keyboard your other sound modules called up the right patch? Ever tried to

locate a patch position to write over a sound that you hopefully won't need later? Tired of

bending down to squint and see the display and program a module at the bottom of your rack?

All of these scenarios are greatly reduced when using a Master Controller.

The concept of ZONES, SPLITS and LAYERS is as follows:

A ZONE consists of a specified range of keys on your keyboard. That range of notes is assigned

parameter messages that are communicated to your slave module(s), this reduces the need to

write and store patches on your module. These parameters may consist of the following infor-

mation: patch number, volume setting, velocity curve, transposition value, pedal enable,

wheels enable, etc.... When a patch is selected on your Master Controller all of this informa-

tion is sent to your modules instantly. The Studio Logic SL-760 Master Controller by FATAR has

four (4) completely independent zones, meaning each zone can transmit all of its own infor-

mation on any given MIDI channel. The range of notes in each zone can be setup to be adja-

cent to another ZONES range of notes ( one ZONE ends, going up the keyboard, as another

ZONE starts) or assigned to overlap each other or any part of each other's ranges. Thus we

introduce the concept of LAYERS and SPLITS.

A SPLIT is when one ZONE's range of notes ends and another ZONE's begins. A simple exam-

ple would be Bass in the left hand and Piano in the right hand. A ZONE's range of notes can

be any amount of consecutive notes regardless of where another ZONE's notes begin. When

two or more ZONE's range of notes overlap we call this a LAYER.

LAYERS are the way we can build fat lush patches using the full potential of what your synths

and modules have to offer. Let's say we have a big pop ballad that needs your special touch?

We want to create a "Pad Piano" sound to cover the song. Assign each ZONE to cover the enti-

re keyboard's range of notes. Using the three ZONES, assign each of them to play a different

patch: (1) dark rich Electric Piano, (2) bright ringy Electric Piano, (3) slow attack String Pad

with the release rate up slightly. If one or more patches are not in the same octave as the

others it's easy to fix. Go to that ZONE's transpose feature and move it up or down 12 steps

to line it up properly with the others. Something sounds a little mushy when playing Piano

parts using the SUSTAIN PEDAL? Try going to the ZONE for the "non Piano" sound and expe-

riment with disabling the SUSTAIN PEDAL for that zone. Within moments you should have a

deep, rich, rather large and musically useful sounding patch to use on your ballad.

Are you beginning to see the possibilities here? Please step inside the manual and we'll take

you through the simple yet versatile features of the Studio Logic 760 Master Controller by

FATAR.
