TEMPLATES
Each Part works within a Template. In other words, each Part uses a Template to determine which MIDI messages should
send for each control and on which MIDI Channel and output it should send those messages. You can access and edit
Templates in Templates view. To access Templates view, press the Shift + Sessions buttons (Templates appears above the
Sessions button). A Template determines the type of MIDI message sent from each control. The Template contains mapping
data for:
• 16 Rotary Knobs (across two pages)
• 16 Pads (both hit and pressure)
• 8 Faders
• 16 Buttons
• The Modulation Wheel
• Footswitch, Expression and Sustain Pedals
You can manage and design custom Templates with Components; a standalone application available here:
components.novationmusic.com
With Components, you can configure each control to send one of many different MIDI messages with different ranges,
values and behaviours.
If a mapping is not enabled, the LED or screen associated with the control will be blank to show it is disabled
When a control with a mapping moves, a notification will appear on the far-right screen showing the message type as well
as the associated value (e.g.,0-127).
Part Settings
The SL MkIII lets you customise the destination of your Parts. The SL MkIII has eight Parts each with its own sequencer,
template, destination and more as explained in this section. You can configure elaborate setups using up to 16 external
devices or software. You can set these configurations with ‘Templates’ through the following process.
