2.3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF MENUS

2.3.1 Preset (1)

This menu is entered by pressing the leftmost MENU-button. Switching the keyboard ON will also

activate this menu. It serves to call up and store presets. A preset is the sum of all information defining a keyboard

configuration. All data about the 8 keyboard zones (i.e. external input or internal keyboard, UPPER/LOWER key,

MIDI channel, Output, Transposition, Velocity and After Touch table, active controllers, Program number, Bank

number, Volume), master-channel, tempo (MIDI clock), allocation of controllers, desired realtime-instructions

during preset call-up, preset pointer and preset name. 128 such presets can be defined by the user and stored for

call-up in the PRESET-menu.

After pressing the PRESET-menu-button the following message appears on the display:

PRS:XXX / PRESET-NAME

B:0YY / N:00Z / >PPP

The upper row lists the preset number selected (XXX=1...128) on the left, the name of the preset selected is

shown on the right. The lower row indicates the bank number on the left (YY=1...8), the

number within that particular bank is shown in the middle (Z=1...8) and the preset pointer is displayed on the right

(PPP=1...128). The preset pointer shows the number of the preset which the LMK4+ will jump to when the presets

are switched via one of the footbuttons (assuming this option is being utilized).

Each bank consists of 8 presets. A bank is selected via one of the 8 BANK-buttons, the number

within the bank is chosen by means of one the 8 NUMBER-buttons. With this method only 64 presets are available

(8 BANK-buttons x 8 NUMBER-buttons = 64 combinations). So the PRESET-menu-button itself is used to switch

between the presets 1...64 and 65...128. The button has to pressed to toggle between the two ranges.

Note: The term "bank" used in this context has nothing to do with the MIDI program bank that is selected by the

MIDI controllers #0 and #32. The MIDI association introduced the MIDI bank term after we used this term for the

bank/number structure of our keyboards. For details regarding the MIDI bank term refer to chapter 2.3.2

PROGRAM CHANGE / BANK SELECT.

Call-up of a Preset

The two bottom rows of buttons on the LMK4+ are used to call up a preset from the PRESET-menu. The upper

row of buttons is used to select the bank number, the lower row to select the number within the bank. Each bank

consists of 8 presets. In combination with the PRESET-menu-button for toggling between 1...64/65...128 all 128

presets can be adressed.

A preset is called up if one of the 8 NUMBER-buttons has been pressed after selecting the

bank with one of the 8 BANK- buttons and selecting the range 1...64/65...128 with the PRESET-menu-button.

Using the BANK-buttons or PRESET-menu-button alone will call -up the preset. Following this procedure each of

the 128 presets can be called up directly.

Once a preset has been called up it is loaded into the so-called work-memory. This memory always contains the

preset currently active. Only the values contained in the work-memory can be modified via the other menus. In

order to modify a preset it has to be called up and loaded into the work-memory, modified while residing in the

work memory and then be stored again in its modified form.

When a preset is called up the content of the work memory is overwritten. Similarily, when storing the content of

the work-memory in one of the preset-memory locations, the old preset stored there is overwritten.

In addition a preset can be called-up by receiving a suitable Program Change message at the MIDI input. The

MIDI channel of the Program Change message has to match to master channel of the LMK4+ adjusted in menu 3

and the preset change via MIDI input must be active (details see chapter 2.3.3: REAL TIME / MASTER

CHANNEL). If the presets of the LMK4+ seem to alter automatically check if incoming Program Change messages

are the reason for this behaviour.

If you do not want to alter the presets via incoming Program Change messages deactivate this function in menu 3.
