Your destination preference are stored in the Session, so changing Sessions will change these Destinations.

C. Channel

The MIDI channel for a Part is set using the Channel control. You can choose from channel 1 through 16.

Note: Channel 16 is used as a global channel for certain messages such as program change and song select. If you

set a Part to channel 16 and then change the Session on a connected device (such as Circuit), you might accidentally

also change the Session on SL MkIII and lose unsaved progress.

D. Input Monitoring

When Input Monitoring is on (it is off by default), MIDI note messages received by each Part (on the correct channel)

will forward to the Part’s destinations. External MIDI note messages will always be recorded by the internal Sequencer

regardless of this setting.

E. Edit Part Colour

The colour for a part can be changed by selecting a Part and pressing one of the eight coloured pads.

4. Arp

The SL MkIII’s Arp (Arpeggiator) gives you the ability to program classic, ‘machine-like’ arpeggios, perfect for techno

and many other electronic genres. Let’s rst look at initialising the Arp.

A. Turn Arp On/Off

To turn the arpeggiator on or off hold Shift and press the Arp button. This Arp button will light white indicating that it is on.

With the arpeggiator on, held notes on the keyboard will arpeggiate.

The Sequencer also routes to the arpeggiator. When recording to the Sequencer, held keys record into the Patterns as

long notes. Then, assuming Arp is still turned on, these long notes will be routed back into the Arp for playback.

B. Arp Latch

Using the Latch feature of the SL MkIII is a fun way of augmenting Arp’s functionality.

Pressing the ‘Latch’ button toggles Arp Latch on and off. When on, notes hold as keys are played, and their note-offs

are delayed until all arpeggiated notes are released, and a new note/s is played.
