Arturia KeyStep Pro Keyboard with Advanced Sequencer and Arpeggiator - Manual (Page 125)

6.2. All about Tracks
The currently selected track is where you can create melodic sequences, drum sequences
and arpeggios. A track can hold up to 16 Patterns that you can edit and arrange to your
heart's content. You can duplicate a Pattern to another Pattern in the same track or to an
empty Pattern in another track.
There are two kinds of tracks: the standard track that holds (drum) sequences and
arpeggios, and the control track, which you will probably use less often but which offers
fascinating options for control of external synthesizers and Eurorack modules.
The control track lets you use the five main encoders (surrounded by 15 LEDs) as CC#
encoders to create CC# sequences. In every other aspect, it behaves like a normal track.
Track 1 can be either in Drum or Seq mode. Tracks 2, 3 and 4 can either be in Arp or Seq
mode.

♪ : When you save the current situation of the tracks in a Scene, your track selection will be saved
with it.
6.2.1. Selecting a Track
To select a track, press one of the Track buttons. The button of the selected track will light up.
As soon as you start to play notes, the LEDs above the keyboard will light up in the colour of
the current track.
6.2.2. Muting a Track
Mute a track by pressing its Mute button, which will turn red. You can mute multiple tracks
simultaneously. When a track is muted and selected, the keyboard can be used to play
notes on that track's MIDI channel.
6.2.3. Soloing a Track
The Mute button has a second option, you can use it to Solo a track.
To solo a track, hold down 'Shift' and press its Mute button. The Mute button now turns blue.
Solo is exclusive: only one track at a time can be soloed.
You can Solo active tracks and muted tracks. When you Solo a muted track it will play its
content. When you 'Unsolo' it by holding down 'Shift' and pressing the track's Mute button it
will return to its original muted state.
When you Solo an active track and then 'Unsolo' it, it will return to its original active state.
This makes the Solo function is intelligent; when you deactivate it, it will return the track to
the state it was in before you pressed it.

♪ : You can exit Solo mode by pressing the Mute button on the solo'd track, there's no need to hold
'Shift'.
