1.3.4. Improved Chord Mode workflow and functionality
Initiate Chord mode by holding 'Shift' + Chord and press notes to add to the chord. As long
as you keep one note down, you can release the Shift and Chord button and continue to
add notes to the chord. Chord mode output can now be recorded in a sequence running in
real-time recording mode.
1.3.5. MIDI Thru
MIDI OUT 2 can now be configured as a MIDI THRU port. When set to Thru, MIDI info
received through the MIDI In or the USB port will be forwarded to MIDI OUT 2. You can set
this in the MIDI control center or from Utility>MIDI Settings.
Note:
Information sent on the tracks input MIDI channels will be processed by the KeyStep
Pro tracks. On the other hand, you can disable the tracks input MIDI channels to let the
signal pass through on all channels.
1.3.6. Track and Transpose info
Hold a track button to check which MIDI channel it transmits on. Hold the transpose button
to check how many semi steps the active track is transposed by.
1.3.7. MCC support for pedals
MIDI Machine Control MMC support for pedals: you can now use them to start and stop
sequences.
1.3.8. Metronome
The Time signature you set in Utility>Time Sig will be used by the KeyStep Pro to set bar size.
Changing the Time signature will therefore also affect Launch Quantize. If, for example, you
have set the Time Signature to '6' and Utility>Launch Quantize is set to 1 bar, the KeyStep Pro
will not load the next pattern until all six beats of the bar have played.
1.3.9. Shift function
When holding 'Shift', the steps will dim instead of turning OFF. This allows you to see
the effect of the shift functions when modifying a step's position with Nudge, Invert or
Randomise Order.
1.3.10. Tempo
Tap the Tempo button four times to set an initial tempo. Tap it 8 eight times to further refine
the tempo estimate. The KeyStep Pro will then calculate the average of the eight taps.
