9.5. Device Settings

The right side of the MIDI Control Center window contains essential parameters that you

can use to optimize the KeyStep Pro for your setup and your working style. You will need to

scroll down to see them all.

Device settings can be saved and recalled. It is a handy feature that enables you to quickly

change the configuration of your KeyStep Pro. Several applications come to mind:

• Redirect the output of each of the Tracks to synths connected to different MIDI

channels

• In a mixed setup, change the CV/Gate setting to switch between Eurorack

standard and the Buchla CV standard.

• Quickly load an alternate set of CC# values for the encoders to enable you

to control a different set of parameters on external synths and set predefined

control ranges

The settings you see here are the same as those in the KeyStep Pro's Utility menu. These

settings are linked to a Project. Each Project can have its own configuration settings.

For an overview of what these settings do, please refer to the

Utility Menu section [p.145]

.

9.5.1. Global Midi Channel

In this menu, you set the Global channels on which the four tracks of the KeyStep Pro will

send and receive MIDI signals. The four tracks default to their track number (MIDI channels

1-4); the Drum channel defaults to MIDI channel 10.

In a Project, each track can be configured to send on a specific channel. When you load

the project the Project settings overwrite the Global MIDI settings. Please refer to

Chapter 6
