10.9.4.1 Pitch CV Output
The various models of vintage gear respond differently to electricity. KeyStep works well
with the most common types.
 1Volt per octave – This is the standard used on most Eurorack modules and on
our very own Mini- and MicroBrute synthesizers.
 Hertz per volt – This is the technology used by Korg and older Yamaha
synthesizers.
