1.3. KeyStep Pro 2.0 Updates

Welcome to version 2.0 of the Arturia KeyStep Pro!

The overview below is intended for existing users of the KeyStep Pro.

Update 2.0 adds many new features that will help you develop a personal music style.

Here's a summary of these new features:

1.3.1. Workflow refinements

Workflow refinements:

• Group Transpose now lets you transpose several tracks simultaneously
• Monitor steps in Step Edit (when the KSP is stopped pressing a step will play the

notes stored in it)

• Use 'recall from flash' to instantly recall project settings from memory
• Metronome: The metronome time signature will now act as a reference for bar

size and launch quantize

• Tempo: Changing tempo is more accurate, the KeyStep Pro will make a tempo

estimate after 4 taps or take the average of 8 taps

• Changed 'Shift' behaviour: when holding 'Shift', the steps will dim instead of

turning off

• Simplified entering of Chords in Chord Mode
• The Looper Touch Strip can now be deactivated with Shift + Touch
• Feedback about the status of patterns in a track.

1.3.2. Arpeggiator improvements

• Apply a different swing amount to each arpeggiator in a project
• Add or subtract Velocity to the notes playing in an arpeggiator
• Record an arpeggio into a sequence in real-time recording mode
• Offset an Arpeggiator in time from another arpeggiator while it is on hold.

1.3.3. Sequencer improvements

• Step listen: when the KeyStep Pro is stopped and Step Edit enabled, pressing a

step will play the notes or chords in that step

• Sequencer MONO mode workflow has been refined
• Global offset: change the parameters of all steps in a Pattern simultaneously with

'Shift' + encoder (applies to Pitch, Gate, Velocity, Time Shift and Randomness)

• Quick edit workflow improvements
• Copy/Paste notes workflow improvements
• Copy/Paste pages

Control track: Nudge, Invert and Rand Order functions can now be applied to values stored

in the Control Track
