4.7 TEMPLATES
All the settings for every individual control accessed in Edit mode and the settings accessed in the Template menu can be
saved to the ReMOTE SL’s internal memory and recalled at any time. A group of saved settings is called a ‘template’.
As an example of using templates, you may have two synths (software or hardware) that you want to control from the
ReMOTE SL. You can set the ReMOTE SL up to control one of the synths and save all the settings as a template. Then
you can set the ReMOTE SL up to control the other synth and save the settings as a separate template. Now to switch
between controlling the two synths from the ReMOTE SL, you can simply switch between the separate templates you have
created for them.
There is space for 40 templates on the ReMOTE SL. Templates 1-33 are pre-programmed standard templates, designed
to work with popular software instruments. Templates 35-36 are blank user templates and templates 34, 37-40 are
Automap templates (see section 5.4 for more info on Automap templates). You cannot delete templates so that there are
less than 40 stored on the ReMOTE SL, however you can overwrite any template by re-saving one that is already stored on
the unit or by uploading one from your computer.
There are three ways to switch between the 40 templates:
DATA/SELECT Encoder:
Ensure that the DATA/SELECT encoder is set to ‘template’ (press the encoder to change its
current function) and then rotate it to select different templates.
Quick-Jump: Press and hold the PLAY mode button and then press the TEMPLATE button to use Quick-Jump to select
a different template. The names of 16 templates will appear on the left-hand ReMOTE SL display. The upper left-hand
row of buttons on the ReMOTE SL can be pressed to jump to one of the 8 templates shown on the top line of the
display and the lower left-hand row of buttons can be pressed to jump to one of the 8 templates shown on the bottom
line of the display. Templates 33-40 always appear on the bottom line of the display so that the Automap templates
are always available to jump to. Use the SCROLL buttons whilst in Quick-Jump mode to switch the top line between
templates 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 and 25-32.
Use Any Assignable Button or Drum Pad:
It is possible to set any assignable button (this excludes the ROW-SELECT,
SCROLL, OCTAVE and mode/menu buttons) or drum pad to switch to a different template. See section 14 for further
info on how to do this.
When you switch to a different template, the name and number of the template will appear briefly on the ReMOTE SL
displays before they switch to showing control names and values. To see the name and number of the currently selected
template, you can press and hold the PLAY mode button at any time - the number and name of the currently selected
template will show for as long as the button is held down.
The ReMOTE SL will start up on template 1 by default from the factory. To change the ‘start up’ template, select the
template you want the unit to load on start up, then press the GLOBAL menu button to access the Global menu and press
the WRITE button to save the global settings.
