NOVATION REMOTE SL
Owner's Manual

Press either of the SCROLL UP buttons to access the fifth GLOBAL page, the first of two pages for calibrating the trigger pads. This is the full velocity (maximum strength hit) calibration:

127 64

--64

--64

--64

--64

--64

--64

--64

Hit a pad at full strength to check the current calibration. If the top value above the pad goes to 127 too easily, decrease the value below using the knobs or buttons underneath; this will reduce the sensitivity of the pad and mean you need to hit it much harder to reach maximum velocity. Press either of the SCROLL UP buttons to access the sixth GLOBAL page, the second of the two pages for calibrating the trigger pads. This is the soft hit threshold calibration:

40 20

--20

--20

--20

--20

--20

--20

--20

Hit a pad gently and view the top value above the pad. If a value is not being displayed when you hit the pad, it is because the threshold is too high. Use the knobs or buttons above the pad to lower the threshold. This will make the pad more sensitive. Press the GLOBAL button twice in any other Mode or once if in the first set of GLOBAL Edit pages to access the GLOBAL Keyboard Zones Edit Pages:

Zones ON

Zone 1

Low Note C-2

HighNote C4

Trnspose +12

VelCurve 3

MidiChan 3

Ports Ua M1 M2

These pages are identical to the Common settings in TEMPLATE Mode (see section 5.9) apart from the choices on the first option on both pages simply being ON or OFF with no GLOBAL. Setting Zones to GLOBAL in TEMPLATE Mode means that the Keyboard Zones settings for that Template will be whatever configuration is set in these pages of the GLOBAL Menu.

6. 1 Saving GLOBALS To save any GLOBAL settings, press the WRITE button whilst in GLOBAL Mode. Note that Mem Prot (Memory Protect) must be OFF for GLOBAL settings (or any settings) to be saved. You may notice that the power-up Template number is not an option in the GLOBAL Mode pages despite the right screen stating that it can be saved here. When WRITE is pressed in GLOBAL Mode and a save is carried out, the currently selected Template will become the power-up Template.

6. 2 Updating the OS To update the OS, the Template Dump and Operating System Control Page within GLOBAL Mode must be accessed. Press the GLOBAL button once (if in another Mode) followed by either SCROLL UP button three times to go to this page. Then, simply press the button under USBa Receive (Port 1) or USBb Receive (Port 2) to put the SL in Listen Mode (full explanation listed in section 6). Once done, the OS must be sent to the SL using an application that allows the transfer of Sysex Messages to USB devices. MIDI Ox is recommended for PC and Sysex Librarian for Mac. All OS updates on the Novation website, however, are bundled with an application for sending to the hardware but this does not work on every computer. It is therefore recommended that either of the free applications are downloaded from the following websites: http://www.midiox.com (MIDI Ox) or http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ (Sysex Librarian). With these applications, the OS file can simply be selected and then sent (or often �played�) through the relevant USB Port (1 or 2).
