1.1.2. ...with external devices

As you can see, the BeatStep Pro can be at the center of some amazing systems.

1.1.2.1. CV/Velo/Gate/Drum Gate

The front panel of the BeatStep Pro allows you to take command of all sorts of external

devices through its Pitch, Velo and Gate connectors. It also can send data to those devices

from the USB port of your computer.

1.1.2.2. MIDI devices

There are lots of great devices that only have MIDI ports (no CV/Gate connectors, no USB).

BeatStep Pro can control them from its front panel as well. And of course it can send and

receive MIDI data using the USB port of your computer.

Use the included adapters (1/8" TRS jack to 5-pin DIN, gray) to connect your external MIDI devices

to the BeatStep Pro.

1.1.2.3. Clock sources/destinations

The Clock input and output can synchronize with older clock types such as 24 pulses per

quarter note (ppqn), 48 ppqn, 2 ppqn, or even a single pulse per step.

The included adapter (1/8" TRS jack to 5-pin DIN, black) can be used to connect DIN sync

capable devices to the BeatStep Pro. See the chapter on

Synchronization [p.74]

for specific

information about what cables to use with other sync connections and formats.
