global, i.e. once set it is valid for all presets stored in the LMK4+. Of course the parameter is meaningful only if the
aftertouch sensor has been assigned to the pitch-bend function.
The last BANK-button triggers the Memory transfer from volatile to the non-volatile part after a receive dump.
Before the transfer is performed the following message appears in the display:
STORE ALL PRE-
SETS TO EEPROM?
Also, all 8 LED's will be illuminated as a warning! Only if the BANK-button No. 8 is pressed once again the transfer
is performed. Pressing any other Bank-button stops the process.
The transfer from volatile (RAM) to non-volatile memory (EEPROM) is necessary only after a receive dump from a
editor or dump-program. After the receive dump the data is stored only in the volatile memory section of the
LMK4+ (RAM). To keep the information after power off the data must be transferred to the non-volatile memory
section of the LMK4+ (EEPROM). Normally the transferring program will trigger the memory transfer automatically
by sending a Store-command via MIDI. Only if the program used does not support this feature the manual transfer
has to be performed. The memory transfer 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.
Pressing MENU-button 7 once more will select the submenu for naming presets. On the upper line of the display
the current name of the preset is shown. The 8 BANK-buttons correspond to the 8 characters of the name. To
change a character one must press the corresponding BANK-button and then turn the data-entry dial. All capital
letters, the numbers 0 through 9 and some special characters are available.
2.3.8 Panic
This menu is selected by pressing the rightmost MENU-button. The PANIC-function can be used
under any operational conditions. Pressing the PANIC-menu-button while in another menu will cause immediate
exit from that menu.
The PANIC-menu also provides 16 Pseudo-panic-buttons for the 16 MIDI-channels. The BANK-buttons represent
pseudo-panic-buttons 1 through 8, the NUMBER-buttons represent pseudo-panic-buttons 9 through 16, from left to
right. These panic-buttons do not cause an ALL NOTES OFF-instruction to be sent. Instead 128 individual NOTE
OFF-instructions are sent for all 128 possible notes of the MIDI-channel in question. This function is required for
MIDI-instruments which do not recognize the ALL NOTES OFF-instruction. Such instruments would not respond to
the 'normal' panic-button, since it only provides the ALL NOTES OFF-instruction. A PANIC-function which buttons
off all 128 notes on all 16 channels via NOTE OFF-instructions will unfortunately cause MIDI-Overflow in almost all
MIDI-instruments. In most cases a message like "MIDI-BUFFER FULL" or similiar would appear on the display.
This is the reason for the introduction of the 16 pseudo-panic-buttons on the LMK4+, since they effectively prevent
this problem.
