Arturia KeyStep Pro Keyboard with Advanced Sequencer and Arpeggiator - Manual (Page 150)

8.2.8. The Live Track
Being able to program automation in CC# Patterns is a great feature, but what if you want to
directly control an external synthesizer or modular system in a live situation using the CC#
values of the main encoders? Or what if you want to create and modify a Pattern already
containing CC# data? It's easy: the track that is currently active when you press the Control
button becomes the 'Live Track'. The track button will blink slowly to remind you that you are
in Control mode. When in Control mode, you can use CC# messages in real time to control
any MIDI-compatible hardware or software devices connected to this track via USB, MIDI
Out 1 or MIDI Out 2.
To exit Control mode, press the Track button of the Live Track again. All normal Shift
functions are now at your disposal again.

♪ : The Overdub button has no effect while Control mode is active.
8.3. Front Panel Functions
In Control mode, most of the performance controls in the left half of the KeyStep Pro's front
panel control the same functions as they do in normal mode, unless configured otherwise
using MIDI Control Center. There are some slight variations, though, which we'll point out as
we go through the performance controls.
8.3.1. The Tempo/Fine Encoder
The Tempo/Fine encoder works the same in all modes. Its functions are described in the
KeyStep Pro Overview Chapter. [p.21]
8.3.2. Tap Tempo/Metronome Button
The Tap Tempo/Metronome button works the same in all modes:
• Hold down 'Shift' and press Tap Tempo/Metronome to toggle the Metronome ON/
OFF
• Tap the Tap Tempo/Metronome button several times to set the tempo.
8.3.3. The Swing/Offset Encoder
In Control mode, the Swing encoder controls the swing percentage of the entire Project. In
other words, the Swing percentage is applied to all tracks equally. For a description of the
Swing feature, see the Swing section of Chapter 6 [p.115] .
8.3.4. Transport Section
The buttons of the Transport Section work the same way in Control mode as in the other
modes, unless set up otherwise using the MIDI Control Center.
