8.1.3. CV/Gate specifications

Some analog synthesizers have unusual implementations that are not fully compatible

with the BeatStep Pro CV/Gate signals. Please refer to their specifications before making a

purchase so you can be sure the two devices will work together well.

We’ve designed the BeatStep Pro to be as flexible as possible, though: the

MIDI Control

Center [p.84]

allows you to configure the response of the CV/Gate jacks in a number of ways.

These are the electrical signals that can be sent by the BeatStep Pro CV and Gate jacks:

• Control Voltage (Pitch) has two options:

1 Volt/octave (0-10V)

0 Volt MIDI note range: 0-127 (Volt/octave)

Hertz per Volt

1 Volt MIDI note range: 0-127 (Hz/Volt)

• Gate output has two options:

V-trigger (positive or "voltage"), trig voltage is between 10V and 12 V

S-trigger (negative, or “short”)

The

MIDI Control Center [p.84]

allows each of these settings to be configured independently

for SEQ1 and SEQ2.
