Storing a Preset

The data of the work-memory can be stored via the PRESET-menu. It can be placed in one of the

128 preset-memory locations by pressing the PRESET-menu-key and the PANIC-menu-key (first and last menu-

button) simultaneously. The following message appears on the display:

STORE MODE OK?

Also, all 8 LED's will be illuminated as a warning! Next the desired BANK-button and possibly the PRESET-menu-

button (to alter the range 0...64/65...128) to be pressed, followed by a NUMBER-button. The content of the work-

memory is now stored into the preset-memory location thus selected.

CAUTION! Any preset stored at that location will be overwritten, i.e. it will be irretrievably lost! Store presets only in

locations that do not contain presets which are still needed. If any MENU-button is accidentally pressed the LED's

will go off and the storage process will NOT take place.

Storing/Downloading of the Preset-memory contents via MIDI (DUMP/REQUEST)

In order to store or download the content of one or all presets via MIDI the LMK4+ must be connected via MIDI In

and MIDI Out to a MIDI-capable computer with appropriate "Dump"-software capable of

requesting, storing and transmitting data to and from the LMK4+ (e.g. PC or MAC with MIDI interface, ATARI ST).

MIDI-OUT 1 of the LMK4+ is connected to MIDI-IN of the computer, MIDI-OUT of the computer is connected to

MIDI-IN of the LMK4+.

Note: During data transmission of any kind between computer and LMK4+ no other data can be transferred (like

Note on/off, Controller, Program Change). So it does not make sense to play on the keyboard or to operate one of

the controllers during a data transmission.

There are three ways to store preset-data via MIDI:

1. Manual dump of all presets (TRANSMIT-MULTI-DUMP)

This feature is covered by a menu-item in menu 7 ("PARAMETERS"). When pressing the fourth

BANK-button while in main menu 7, all stored data in the LMK4+ is dumped via MIDI-OUT in accordance with the

Exclusive System Specifications of LMK4+. MIDI-OUT of the computer and MIDI-IN of the LMK4+ do not have to

be connected in this case. However, the computer must be in the appropriate standby-mode in order to properly

receive and store the incoming data.

2. Requesting dump of all presets via MIDI-IN (TRANSMIT-MULTI-DUMP)

This option requires the sending of a DUMP-request by the computer to the LMK4+ via MIDI-IN. Once the LMK4+

receives the request it dumps the content of the entire PRESET-memory via MIDI-OUT 1 (again in accordance

with the exclusive system specs). Except for the fact that it is triggered by an external request this data-dump is

identical to the manual dump described in the previous paragraph.

3. Dump-request for a single preset (TRANSMIT-DUMP)

Identical to item 2 except only the data for one preset is transmitted (as opposed to the content of

the entire preset-memory).

There are two options to load data from hardisk/diskette into the LMK4+:

1. Downloading new data for the entire preset-memory (RECEIVE-DUMP)

Note: This function will overwrite all preset-data stored in the LMK4+ at the time. If the existing data hasn't been

saved yet on disk/diskette, this must be done prior to using this function or loss of all old data will result. After

receiving the dump the data are stored in the volatile memory (RAM) of the LMK4+ and are automatically

transferred to the non-volatile part of the memory (EEPROM). This process requires about 2 minutes. During this

period it is not possible to play on the keyboard or operate one of the controllers or to receive MIDI data. A

message in the display informs about the state of memory transfer.

2. Downloading data for a single preset (RECEIVE-DUMP)
