4.3.5. Metronome Section

KeyStep Pro has a convenient built-in metronome, making it easy to build up empty

sequences from scratch without having to use an external rhythmic reference (such as

a metronome or drum machine) as a 'click track'. The internal speaker (located on the

front panel) produces clearly audible metronome ticks, so you don't need to use external

speakers.

The

Level

knob sets the output level of the metronome. This knob is retractable to prevent

accidental changes to the metronome volume. Press the knob to stow it away and press it

again to bring it back out for adjustment.

The

Output

jack lets you send the metronome signal to a mixer or headphone distribution

amplifier, so that multiple performers can play to the same metronome.

!: The Level knob only affects the internal speaker's loudness level. It does not affect the signal sent

from the Output jack.

4.3.6. Sustain Pedal Input

Connect an optional sustain pedal to this input. It is best to connect the pedal before

switching on the KeyStep Pro, so that it can correctly sense the pedal's polarity. Be sure to

keep your foot off the pedal when switching on the KeyStep Pro or its operation may be

reversed. If this happens, switch the KeyStep Pro off and start again.

The Sustain Pedal input port supports two MIDI Machine Control (MMC) commands: you can

use a pedal to start and stop sequences.
