Joystick Calibration:
To calibrate the pitch/mod joystick, slowly move it from the centre to fully left, then to fully right and
back to the centre again. Do not force the wheel at the end of its travel. Repeat this and look at the value under ‘Pitch’ on
the ReMOTE SL display. It should now reach 0 when the stick is fully left, 255 when it is fully right and 128 when it is at
rest in the centre.
Next, slowly move the joystick from the bottom, up to the top and then back to the bottom again. Do not force it at the
end of its travel. Repeat this and look at the value under ‘Mod’ on the ReMOTE SL display. It should now reach 127 when
the joystick reaches the top of its travel and 0 when it reaches the bottom.
Aftertouch Calibration:
To calibrate the aftertouch, press a keyboard key down with enough pressure to fully engage the
aftertouch mechanism and hold the key in that position. Whilst holding the key down, use encoder 4 to increase the ‘Set’
value from 0. Whilst increasing the ‘Set’ value, watch the ‘Read’ value, which will automatically start increasing from 0.
As soon as the ‘Read’ value reaches 127, stop increasing the ‘Set’ value and release the key. Try fully pressing some other
keys to make sure that the ‘Read’ value reaches 127 when the aftertouch mechanism is fully engaged. If it does not reach
127 then increase the ‘Set’ value so that it does (it may only require an increase of 1 or 2).
Keyboard Size Calibration:
A further calibration available on this page is setting the keyboard size of your unit. Press
the bottom and top keyboard keys at the same time. ‘Octaves’ and the number of octaves on the keyboard (2, 3 or 5) will
appear on the display to show that the ReMOTE SL has recognised the correct keyboard size. This should only need to be
done if the right-hand display shows the incorrect number of octaves when the ReMOTE SL is powering up.
Power: The power source is displayed underneath ‘Power’; ‘USB’, ‘PSU’ or ‘BATT’ will be shown. The power source cannot
be set from the Global menu. Use the power select switch on the back of the ReMOTE SL to set the power source.
BatChrg (Battery Charge):
This setting allows you to charge rechargeable batteries whilst the ReMOTE SL is being
powered from a PSU. Set this to ‘PSU Low’ to trickle charge the batteries, ‘PSU Max’ for faster charging or ‘OFF’ to turn
battery charging off.
BatVolts (Battery Volts):
The voltage of any dry cells inserted in the ReMOTE SL is displayed below ‘BatVolts’ on the left-
hand display.

The sixth page of the Global menu is the first of two pages for calibrating the drum pads. The eight values across the left-
hand display correspond to drum pads 1-8. The pad hit velocity value is shown on the top line (‘---‘ if the pad has not yet
been hit) and the calibration value is shown on the bottom line. This first page is for full velocity (maximum strength hit)
calibration:
Hit a pad at full strength to check the current calibration. If the hit velocity value above the pad goes to 127 too easily,
decrease the pad calibration value using the encoder or buttons underneath. This will reduce the sensitivity of the pad,
meaning you need to hit it harder to reach maximum velocity.
