Arturia KeyStep 37 MIDI Keyboard Controller and Sequencer - Manual (Page 38)

3.5. Restart Seq / Arp from beginning
It’s possible to repeat the first half of a sequence or arpeggio manually, or perhaps repeat
the first few notes several times, etc., as a spontaneous performance option.
To restart a sequence or an arpeggio pattern from its beginning, hold the Shift button and
press the Play/Pause button.

We will cover the Shift functions that are used during sequence creation in the next chapter.
3.6. Keyboard Shift Functions
Above the keyboard you'll find the names of five Shift functions:
• Keyboard MIDI channel
• Gate
• Swing
• Sequence
• Scale
When holding Shift the currently active Shift functions will light up in blue.
In the next few paragraphs we'll have a look at how to apply these functions.
3.6.1. Keyboard MIDI channel
There are numbers silkscreened above the keys under the heading 'Keyboard MIDI CH'?.
These represent the 16 MIDI channels to which the keyboard can be assigned. To change
the MIDI channel setting, hold the Shift button and press the key that corresponds to the
desired MIDI channel.

When the MIDI channel is changed the Kbd Play MIDI channel will change to match it. To select an
independent channel for Kbd Play mode, see section 3.2.0.2 [p.31] .
