So here's the Keymap to VMPK- Yellow frame highlights MaltronK89 Layout Differences due to esc down a row and the F-Key Row shifted left one column. Key Configs allow a subset of characters and thankfully up to F24
 

AutoHotKey used for bridge maps to allowable chars Alphanumeric but not L/R Modifier keys or most specials. No manual but I found enough notes to flex.

and VMPK the app plays all the notes


Disclaimer: There is absolutely no Velocity Sensitivity. That costs more. These are still great split keypads, however.
