Arturia KeyStep Pro Keyboard with Advanced Sequencer and Arpeggiator - Manual (Page 108)

5.4.3.7. Drum Mode Shift Key Functions
When the Track 1 Drum sequencer is selected, the lowest 24 keys of the keyboard send note
data over MIDI, including gate length and velocity.
The keys also have secondary functions, which are accessed by holding down 'Shift' and
pressing one of the keys. These combinations allow you to specify the following Pattern
parameters:
Playback Mode
The lowest three keys are used with the 'Shift' button to select the playback mode (that is,
the direction of play).
Here's what each option does:
• Forward : plays Pattern beats 1, 2, 3, 4 | 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
• Random : plays random beats from the Pattern
• Walk : plays the steps using the Drunkard's Walk Algorithm: when the sequencer
is on a given step, there's a 50% chance it will play the next step, a 25% chance
it will play the same step again and a 25% chance it will play the previous step.
The default setting is Forward.
Time Division
This setting can be a quick way to halve or double the playback rate of your drum Pattern.
Triplet options are also available.

♪ : When the KeyStep Pro clock is set to 1 pulse per step, changing Drum Time Division is only
available when the KeyStep Pro is stopped.
To set Time Division, hold down the 'Shift' button, then press the key that corresponds to the
timing you want:
• Quarter notes (1/4)
• Eighth notes (1/8)
• Sixteenth notes (1/16)
• Thirty-second notes (1/32)
To switch any of these Time Divisions into their triplet values, hold down 'Shift' then press the
Triplet key.
The default setting is 1/16.
