What is Control Mode?
When BeatStep Pro is in Control Mode every encoder, button and pad can transmit
specific MIDI data to external devices that are connected to the MIDI output jack. This
same data will be sent to your computer via USB.
The controller assignments can be set using the MIDI Control Center software. See
chapter 12
for more information.
There is one thing the pads won't do while the unit is in Control Mode: they will not
transmit directly to the CV/Gate or Drum Gate connectors.
The sequencers will still send their data to those outputs, though. The Transport section
works the same way in Control Mode as it does in the other modes.
10.2
Top panel functions
Most of the performance controls on the left side of the front panel will control the same
features in Control Mode unless configured otherwise with the MIDI Control Center.
There are some slight variations, though, which we'll point out as we go through them:
10.2.1 Tempo
The RATE/FINE encoder works exactly the same in all modes. Its functions are described
in
section
6.3.
10.2.2 Metronome/Tap Tempo
The Metronome/Tap Tempo button works exactly the same in all modes:
SHIFT + TAP/METRO toggles the metronome on and off.
•
Tap the TAP/METRO button several times to set the tempo.
•
The MIDI Control Center allows you to specify how many taps it will take to set the
tempo.
10.2.3 Swing
The Swing encoder still controls the Swing percentage in Control Mode. The difference is
that the Swing percentage is applied to all three sequencers equally; the CURRENT
TRACK button does not have any effect over the Swing assignment.
For a description of the Swing feature see

10 CONTROL MODE
