4.2.14. SHIFT Functions

Many of the KeyStep Pro's most interesting functions can be accessed with the 'Shift' button.

It's the leftmost button on the front panel and it's black. The blue 'Shift' text reveals its crafty

secret: it is linked to all KeyStep Pro functions that are printed in blue on the front panel.

Take a good look and you'll find many of them: in the Transport section, to the left of the

keyboard, above the keys of the keyboard (except the highest C), below the 16 step buttons,

and in the Sequence Extend section. That's 63 Shift functions in total!

4.2.14.1. Keyboard Shift Functions

The 'Shift' button has a very helpful feature: if you hold it down, the currently active keyboard

Shift functions will be displayed by lit-up LEDS. From left to right above the keyboard these

are:

• Seq Pattern mode
• Seq/Drum mode (Mono or Poly)
• Arp Pattern and Arp Octave
• Time Division
• Scale
• CV routing

The HOLD/Clear Button

The HOLD/Clear button enables you to hold arpeggios, so that they continue to play until

you release it. You can hold arpeggios on several tracks simultaneously. 'Shift' + HOLD/Clear

will release all currently held arpeggios.
