the lmk4+ is our most powerful midi master keyboard with 8 split zones, 128 memories and a lot of free programmable controllers ( 2 wheels, 2 sliders, one rotary potentiometer, 2 footcontrol connectors, 2 footswitch connectors, after touch). lmk4+ meets all conditions one would expect from a high-end master keyboard.

the lmk plus series of midi masterkeyboards established in the musician scene during the last few years. all keyboards of the lmk-plus series are equipped with the same high quality 88 keys piano-type keyboard with patented real hammer mechanics (see picture below). this type of hammer mechanics does not compare to low cost hammer mechanics offered by some competitors (not only a simple metal lever beyond each key).

velocity resolution max. 127 steps resolution, dependig upon selected velocity curve
adjustable velocity reduction factor for black keys
monophonic aftertouch (channel-aftertouch)
2-line, 16-character lc display, adjustable backlight/contrast
operation via 24 buttons grouped in three rows of eight, 8 buttons with led display
2 sliders (60 mm fader), midi functions free assignable
1 rotary control (rotary potentiometer), midi function free assignable
1 endless rotary encoder for data input



2 x 2 midi outputs (2 separate midi outs with 2 sockets each)
1 midi input that is treated by the lmk4+ as separate zone (e.g. for connecting/managing a second keyboard or bass pedal)
external 1/4" input-jack for double-footswitch (sustain and sustenuto function, e.g. vfp2)
2 external 1/4" input-jacks for foot controller / sweep pedal (e.g. fp5)



sending of:
* midi program change
* midi program bank (controllers #0 and #32)
* midi start, stop, continue, clock
* all notes off all midi channels (panic key)
wheels, sliders, aftertouch sensor, rotary potentiometer, pedals and footswitches can be assigned to any midi-controller (including pitch bend and aftertouch)
8 user definable controllers (# 0...127 can be assigned)
footswitch-activated preset change
adjustable aftertouch effect ifassigned to pitch (positive/negative)
proportional volume control of different zones with one controller
preset change via incoming program change messages (disengageable)
midi dump of a single preset or for all pesets
32 velocity response curves
8 aftertouch response curves

128 memories (presets). the following parameters can be adjusted/defined by the user in each of the 128 presets:
* 8 split zones with corresponding parameters (see below)
* assignment of the controllers (wheels, sliders, rotary knob, pedals, footswitches, after touch etc.) to midi functions (pitch bend, modulation, breath controller, aftertouch, volume, panorama, portamento, sustain, soft pedal, sostenuto and 8 user-defined controllers)
* name of the preset (up to 8 characters)
* preset tempo (midi-clock)
* sending of start, stop or continue when the preset is called-up
* preset-pointer (number of the next for preset switching via footswitch)

each preset contains 8 overlapping keyboard-keyboard zones. the following features can be defined/adjusted by the user in each of the 8 zones.
* upper / lower key
* midi channel (1...16)
* assigned midi output (1, 2, 1+2 or none)
* usage of the zone for internal keyboard or midi input
* any transposition in semitone increments/decrements
* selection of one of 32 velocity response curves
* selection of one of 8 after touch response curves
* activity of each controller on/off (i.e. which of the before assigned controllers is active in the zone)
* program change, bank number (midi ctr. # 0/32) and volume value sent when preset is called up (disengageable)
* piano mode on/off (i.e. sending of a note-on event at minimal key motion)
