The first pedal is the switch pedal input. This input accepts standard sustain type (momentary) pedals. 

There is no internal sustain function, setting the CC to 64 (the general MIDI message for sustain) will allow 

the K-Board Pro 4 to instruct the destination software/hardware to sustain� You can also set it to output any 

CC you wish� The second pedal input is the Expression pedal input� This input accepts standard expression 

type (continuous) pedals� Similar to the sliders, the pedals can send on one zone’s master channel� Mode - 

set the pedal to send a CC, or turn it off� 

• 

CC - Set the CC that the pedal will send� 

• 

Threshold - When the incoming value exceeds this value, a CC with a value of 127 will be sent�

4� 

• 

MPE Mode - Turn MPE on or off. When MPE is off zones will send data on the Zone Channel specified in 

Keys & Zones 

• 

Octave - Set the base octave� Values range from 1 to 7� 

• 

Transpose - Set the transposition, in semitones� Values range from 0 to 12� 

• 

All Key Threshold - Controls how easy it is to activate the keys. Lower values make the keys easier to 

trigger, higher values will require more pressure to activate the keys� Values range from 0 to 254, the 

default value is 30�

• 

Slider Pitch Bend Range - Set the range of pitch bend for any slider assigned to global Pitch Bend� Values 

range from +/- 0, to +/- 12, with some microtonal ranges available� 

• 

Key Pitch Bend Range - Set the range of pitch bend for the keys� Values range from +/- 0, to +/- 12, with 

some microtonal ranges available�  

• 

Return Mode - Turns Pitch Bend Slew on/off� When this is active, pitch bend from a key will slew back to 0 

as long as the key is held down�  This allows you to add a vibrato to a note and easily return to playing in 

tune� Return mode is On by default� 

• 

Return Time - Sets the time it takes for the pitch to slide back to zero. Larger values make longer slower 

bends easier to execute� Smaller values make quick vibrato gestures sound tighter and more controlled� 

Values range from 0�10 to 10�0 seconds

• 

Sensor Adjustment - Opens the 

Sensor Adjustment 

window�
