onboard Slice patterns or experiment with the SL-20's innovative
Harmonic Slicer feature, which generates percussive melodies, Loop
Record, and unique 3D Panning. Breathe new life into any instrument
with the innovative and very cool SL-20!
Groove and Melody Maker
The SL-20 transforms your music into percussive "chopped" grooves.
Fifty rhythmic patterns are onboard, with adjustable note attack and
duration, plus amazing Harmonic Slice effects. Create high-energy
patterns onstage in real-time, or use the SL-20 as a songwriting and
recording tool. Play the sliced sounds in realtime while capturing them
with Loop Record.
Flexible Control
An internal tap-tempo feature is included, as well as the ability to
sync to external MIDI clock. Sound characteristics of the SL-20 such as
attack, duration, effect level, and direct level can be controlled by
the onboard knobs or from an external Expression pedal.
Universal FX
The SL-20 is an addictive effect that inspires creativity. It's great
for guitarists, but it's equally useful for other instrumentalists as
well. Plug in a bass, keyboard, iPod, or any other instrument or
music-playback device. DJs and dance-music artists will also love the
SL-20 as a rhythmic-performance tool.
