Doepfer LMK4+ Midi Master Keyboard (new version with USB) - Manual (Page 17)

LMK4+ User's Guide Page 17
A special case is the assignment of of the after-touch-sensor to pitch-bend. There is a global parameter in menu 7
(PARAMETERS), called ATP (Aftertouch-to-Pitch) which determines whether the pressure exerted on the keys
has a positive or negative effect on pitch-bend. Without pressure the pitch-bend value of 64 is sent ($40
Hexadecimal). If ATP is positive, increasing pressure on the keys causes the pitch-bend values 64...127 ($40...$7F
Hex) to be sent; a negative ATP results in values 64...0 ($40...$00 Hex).
2.3.6 User-Defined MIDI-Controllers
This menu is selected by pressing the sixth MENU-button from the left. It is used to define the 8 user-specific MIDI-
controllers UD1...UD8. The following message appears on the display:
UD-MIDI CONTR.
1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8
The lower line of the message is a symbolic representation of the 8 UD-controllers. They can be activated via the
BANK-buttons. The NUMBER-buttons have no function in this menu. After pressing one of the 8 BANK-buttons the
following message appears on the lower display-line:
USERDEF (00X):YYY
X stands for 1...8, depending on which BANK-button was pressed. YYY represents the controller-number which is
to be assigned to the user-defined controllers UD1..UD8. This number can be adjusted between 0 and 127 with
the data-entry dial. The widely used standard MIDI-controller-numbers have already been used for the various
standard controllers (see below). If the instrument connected to the LMK4+ uses a special controller-number for a
particular function, then that number can be selected and assigned to a controller here.
Please note that controllers above number 121 represent MIDI-channel-mode messages, for example LOCAL
ON/OFF, ALL NOTES OFF, etc. They should be used with caution.
All user-defined controllers are preset-parameters and are being stored in each preset. Different
UD-controllers can be defined for different presets. The following standard controllers are already being utilized:
CONTR# FUNCTION (ABBREV.) REMARKS
- Pitch Bend (PIT) Intrinsic function, belongs not really to MIDI controllers
- After Touch (ATO) Intrinsic function, belongs not really to MIDI controllers
1 Modulation (MOD) continuous controller

64 Sustain (SUS) switch controller
65 Portamento On/Off (POO) switch controller
66 Sostenuto (SOS) switch controller
67 Soft Pedal (SOF) switch controller
The data range for continuous controllers is 0...127, for switch (or digital) controllers 0/127 (only one of the two
values: 0 or 127).
2.3.7 Parameters/Name
This menu is selected by pressing the seventh MENU-button from left. In this menu all those global parameters are
set which would not fit into the other menus. These include the Preset-pointer, the Realtime-instructions during
preset-callup, the ATP-parameter, the velocity-response reduction factor of the black keys, the Preset name,
the manual dump and the Memory transfer from volatile to the non-volatile part after a receive dump. Only the
five leftmost BANK-buttons are used in this menu.
The first is used to adjust the Preset-pointer. This is the number of the next preset activated when presets are
switched over via the footswitch, assuming one of the two footswitches has been assigned to the LINK-function in
