Parameter Storage

Whenever one changes from one menu to another the parameter of the preceeding
menu is stored non-volatile in the MKE memory. After the next power on these values
are chosen. These values are stored: Midi channel, transpose, program change
number, function of ST6, dynamic/non-dynamic operation.

Non-dynamic Operation

MKE was developed to be combined with velocity-sensitive keyboards manufactured
by Fatar. For certain applications (e.g. organ keyboards, bass pedals) it might be
desirable to turn off the Midi velocity and replace the variable velocity value in the
note on message by a fixed value.

To select the non-dynamic mode one has to operate one of the control buttons during
power on. Then the display shows "CoF" (abbreviation of "configuration") instead of
the software version number and the 6 LEDs work inverted, i.e. all LEDs light up
except the LED of the currently selected menu. The most left button (Midi channel
menu in normal operation) is used to adjust the fixed velocity value in the range
1...127 in combination with the up/down buttons. If this parameter is set to 0 (zero)
the dynamic mode is active again. The remaining 3 menu buttons have no function. If
the desired velocity value is adjusted the MKE is turned off. After about 5-10 seconds
it is powered again without operating one of the buttons. Now the normal operation
mode is called up (the display shows the software version) with the new velocity
value adjusted in the configuration mode.
