devices connected to LMK4+ if the bank message is supported and which values for Controller #0/32 are used.
Normally only a few combinations of controller #0 and #32 are allowed to select one of the program banks
availabe. Some manufacturers also use only Controller #0 or #32 to select a program bank. Other manufacturers
designate this function as page, page select or variation.

If the sliders are assigned to other MIDI functions in menu 5 these are temporarily turned off during the
Program/Bank menu is selected as the sliders are used for Controller#0/#32 data. As soon as the Program/Bank
menu is left these functions are activated again.

All Program-Change and Bank-Select messages in this menu are sent on the MIDI-master-channel defined in
menu 3.

Program-Change, Controller#0 and #32 can be defined for each split zone separately and stored in the presets.
See chapter 2.3.4 for details.

2.3.3 Realtime / Master-Channel (3)

This menu is selected by pressing the third MENU-button from the left. It is used to send MIDI-Realtime messages
and to select the MIDI-master-channel.

REALTIME / M_CHAN
S/T/C/K/ - / - / - /P

The bottom line is a symbolic representation of the functions which can be activated in this menu via
the BANK-buttons. The 8 letters and blank spaces correspond to the 8 BANK-buttons. A function is
activated by pressing the appropriate BANK-button. The abbreviations are as follows:

S= Start
T= Stop
C= Continue
K= Clock
P= Panic

The first four functions are suitable for controlling sequencers, drum-machines and other devices controlled by
MIDI-Realtime messages. When pressing the keys for START, STOP or CONTINUE, the corresponding MIDI-
instruction is immediately sent. If the START or CONTINUE function was selected, then the upper line of the
display will show the tempo in BPM (Beats per minute). The tempo can be adjusted between 50 and 250 BPM by
means of the rotary encoder (data-entry dial). Tempo is one of the parameters of PRESET and is stored in the
preset-memory. If the tempo is to be modified without first sending START or CONTINUE instructions, the
CLOCK-button must be pressed (fourth button from left in the middle row). The tempo currently set will be
displayed on the upper line of the display and can be changed via the rotary encoder.

If the PANIC-button is pressed, "ALL NOTES OFF"-instructions are sent on all 16 MIDI-channels and
all controllers are initialized. When using this "internal" panic-button one remains inside the menu.

Pressing the third MENU-button once more allows the selection of the MIDI-master-channel and the related
functions. The MIDI-master-channel is the channel on which the program change-instructions are sent in direct
mode (see chapter 2.3.2). It does not affect any other functions.

The lower line of the display will read:

MCHN: YYYYYYY : XX
