4: SPLIT

The LMK4+ handles up to 8 different keyboard areas (split areas, split zones, split range) simultaneously.
Overlaps of the zones are possible (i.e. some keys are used by more than one zone). Each zone is assigned a
MIDI channel and to one of the 2 MIDI outputs. The SPLIT-menu
is used to define the parameters of each of the 8 keyboard zones. The SPLIT-parameters are as follows:

• LOWER and UPPER key

• MIDI

channel

• MIDI output 1 or 2 or both

• Transposition

• Velocity-response

curve

• Aftertouch

curve

• Program

number

• Bank Select number (= Controllers #0 and #32)

• Volume

In addition in this menu is defined if the zone is used for the (internal) keyboard or the (external) MIDI input.

5: CONTROLLER ASSIGN/ACTIVITY

This menu has 2 different functions:

• Assignment of controllers (i.e. Sliders, Wheels, After Touch etc.) to MIDI-functions

• Activation of the controllers in the keyboard zones

First, each controller is assigned a particular MIDI-function (i.e. pitch bend, modulation, volume, sustain, etc.).
Then the user can decide for each individual keyboard zone whether or not the respective controller is active in
that keyboard zone, i.e. whether or not the corresponding data of the controller will be transmitted on the MIDI
channel and MIDI output of that keyboard zone.

6: USER DEFINED CONTROLLERS

In this menu user-selected controllers (UD1...UD8), which can be used in menu 5, are defined.

7: PRESET PARAMETERS/NAME

In this menu the following preset-parameters are defined:

• Name of the preset

• Preset-pointer (=Number of the next preset reached when switching presets with footswitch)

• Realtime parameters of the preset (i.e. transmission of START, STOP, CONTINUE or none of these when the

preset is called up)

• Scale Black Parameter (Adjustment of velocity-response of the black keys)

• Manual DUMP-function (Dumps contents of Preset-memory via MIDI)

• Transferring the volatile memory data into the non-volatile memory after receiving a MIDI dump

• ATP-Parameter (Positive/negative pitch-bend when aftertouch-sensor has been assigned to pitch-bend-

function)

8: PANIC

This menu provides a PANIC-button which can be used in any operational mode. In addition, the
menu also provides 16 "pseudo-panic-buttons" (for the 16 MIDI-channels) to be used in the event of
one of the instruments connected to the LMK4+ not recognizing the "ALL NOTES OFF"-instruction.
