D. Swing Sync Rate
Changing the Swing Sync Rate adjusts the length of the swing period. The setting denes the tempo interval by which
the Swing parameter will shift alternate notes. The default is set to 1/16, meaning that the Sequencer and Arp will
swing in pairs of 1/16ths. Triplet sync rates are denoted with a “T” after the sync rate.
E. Tap Tempo
You can dene a tempo by pressing the Tap button at the intended tempo. You must press the Tap button at least
three times before a tempo is calculated. If the device is synced to an external clock, tap tempo will be unavailable.
9. Transport
Located at the far right side of the SL MkIII is a row of buttons known as the ‘Transport’.
A. Start/Stop/Continue
The following points explain how to start, stop or continue the Sequencer in all modes (excluding InControl mode).
Note that these messages will only send if MIDI Clock Tx is on:
1. Pressing the Play button will start Sequencer playback and send a MIDI Start message.
2. Pressing the Stop button will stop Sequencer playback and send a MIDI Stop message.
3. Holding Shift and pressing Play will start Sequencer playback from the current position and send a MIDI Con-
tinue message.
4. Pressing Play while the Sequencer is running will send a MIDI Stop message followed by a MIDI Start mes-
sage. Pressing Play will restart the sequencer from the beginning of the Session.
i. External Control
You can control The SL MkIII’s Transport externally. If the device receives any of the following external messages then
the Sequencer will respond accordingly:
1. If a Start message is received, Sequencer playback will start.
2. If a Stop message is received, Sequencer playback will stop.
3. If a Continue message is received, the Sequencer will begin playback from the current position.
4. If a Start message is received while the sequencer is playing the message is ignored.
Note that the above messages (known as system Real time messages) are received at the MIDI In or USB MIDI In
ports.
B. Song Position
The SL MkIII’s internal song position can also move according to an external source. Providing you have stopped the
Sequencer, if either the MIDI In or USB MIDI In ports receive a Song Position Pointer (SPP) the internal song position
will update, and the message will retransmit.
If the sequencer is running, however, the SL MkIII ignores song position messages.
