    7 CONTROLLER In this menu the on/off status of each wheel, the after touch sensor, the external foot switches and the external foot controller is determined for each keyboard zone, as well as the controller number (#1...31) for the first wheel (the not spring loaded type).
  • Page 7 7.3.1 PRESET (1) Leftmost button in the upper row The PRESET-menu serves to call up the user preset (1) or one of the 16 factory presets (2-17). Each preset contains all data about the 4 keyboard zones, i.e. the corresponding keyboard ranges, Midi-channels, transpositions, allocation and activation of the controllers and the velocity-response curves.

    Sending a realtime instruction The upper three white keys of the lowest octave are assigned to the real time instructions START (G), STOP (A), and CONTINUE (H). If one of these three keys is pressed while beeing in menu 2 the corresponding realtime instruction is sent.

Additionaly the controller number for the wheel without spring is determined in this menu.
  • Page 10 Appendix A: Information about the velocity-response curves When defining the parameters of the keyboard zones, one can select among 8 velocity-response curves. In the following paragraph the reasons for this feature shall be discussed briefly. The special Midi-chip used inside the LMK2+ to poll the key-contacts uses the time difference required by the switch-contact to derive the velocity response (or dynamics-value).

  • Page 12 Appendix C : Velocity-Response Reduction Factor for the Black Keys Because of the shorter leverage the black keys have a slightly higher velocity response than the white keys with pressure being equal. The LMK2+ enables to reduce the velocity values of the black keys in comparison to the white keys.
