9.2. The Sync option

As mentioned in

section 8.1.4 [p.76]

, clicking the Sync button is a quick way to back up your

KeyStep 37 sequences. It also allows you to do other things we'll cover later in this chapter.

However, there are some things you can do even if you

don't

click the Sync button. Here's a

quick overview of the different states:

9.2.1. Sync operations

The MIDI Control Center (MCC) does the following when you click the Sync button:

• It automatically makes a backup copy of the internal KeyStep 37 sequences. This

is known as a Template.

• It updates the Device Settings window with the settings from the KeyStep 37.

These must be saved using the Device Settings Export button

see section 8.6

[p.87]

).

• It allows live editing of sequences from within the MCC sequence window. This

is an extremely useful feature, and we'll cover it in section

8.8.3 [p.93]

.

If the MCC and KeyStep 37 are synced, every time you click on a Template in the Project Browser

window it will be sent to the KeyStep 37 internal memory. Any changes you have made from the
KeyStep 37 front panel will be lost.
