2. OPERATION (Software)

2.1 Switching the Keyboard ON

When the keyboard is switched ON a message regarding the software version will appear on the

display for several seconds (e.g. "LMK4 V1.00"). In addition the LED's will flicker for several seconds. After that the

keyboard will go into preset-mode (see below for details) and will call up preset no. 1.

NOTE: When the keyboard is activated for the very first time, the presets will contain random

values since the RAM contains random data. In order to completely initialize the keyboard (i.e.

to set all 128 presets to the same standard values) you have to follow the procedure described in the appendix.

Normally it is not necessary to initialize the memory as this is performed during the final check of the device in the

factory.

2.2 Menu Structure

There are 8 menus available. They are selected via the 8 uppermost buttons. These are referred to

as MENU-buttons. Pressing one will access the corresponding menu. The LED's serve as visual

indicators of the menu selected. You leave a menu simply by pressing another MENU-button. The 8

MENU-buttons correspond to the following menus (from left to right):

1 PRESET

2 PROGRAM CHANGE

3 REALTIME/MASTER CHANNEL

4 SPLIT

5 CONTROLLER ASSIGN/ACTIVITY

6 USER DEFINED CONTROLLERS

7 PRESET PARAMETERS/NAME

8 PANIC

When the keyboard is switched on it will always go to the PRESET-menu. In the next few

paragraphs we will briefly discuss the functions of each of the 8 menus, followed by the operating

procedure for each menu.

1: PRESET

The LMK4+ keyboard allows the storage and recalling of up to 128 complete keyboard settings, referred to as

"presets". Each preset contains data about all 8 keyboard zones with their respective

MIDI-channels, transpositions, allocation and activation of controllers, velocity-response curves, program numbers,

volumes, preset-name, etc. The PRESET-menu is used to call up or store the

presets. The detailed description of the PRESET-menu also includes information on the

MIDI-DUMP-function of the LMK4+.

2: PROGRAM CHANGE / BANK SELECT

This menu serves to send program numbers (MIDI-program change instructions) and bank select data (i.e. MIDI

controller #0 and #32) in direct mode to select the programs and banks of the MIDI-instrument(s) connected to the

LMK4+. The program change and bank select instructions are transmitted via the MIDI-master-channel selected at

the time (also refer to menu 3).

Independent of this, in menu 4 each of the 8 keyboard zones can be assigned a program and bank number which

is sent on the MIDI-channel of the keyboard zone when PRESET is called up (see menu 4: SPLIT).

3: REALTIME / MASTER-CHANNEL

This menu is used to directly transmit MIDI-realtime information (i.e. START, STOP, CONTINUE,

CLOCK) and to select the MIDI-master-channel on which the LMK4+ transmits the direct-mode

program changes and bank select data.
