♪: As with Note and Velocity values, the CC# messages lie in the range 0-127: The Drum Gate jacks
can send only one type of signal: gate open/close (equivalent to MIDI Note On/OFF). So even though
the Drum pattern holds Velocity/Aftertouch data for all 24 keys that correspond to the 24 Drum tracks,
that data cannot be sent to the Drum Gates. Why not? Because it is digital data, not analog signals.
10.7.3. How Should I Route the Signals?
Typically, a Drum Gate output would be connected to a gate/retrigger input of an ADSR
envelope generator used to modulate the amplitude of a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)
and/or the filter cutoff frequency of a voltage-controlled filter (VCF). But you can send those
signals to any inputs that will accept them.
For example, they can be used to trigger a synthesizer such as one from our MiniBrute or
MicroBrute series, or even the magnificent MatrixBrute.
10.7.4. Drum Gate Specifications
Different drum modules and other analog devices with Gate inputs have different
requirements for the type of analog signal they will recognize.
Fortunately, we've designed the KeyStep Pro Drum Gate outputs to operate as either a V-
trigger or an S-trigger. These settings will work with the vast majority of analog devices you
will encounter on Planet Earth.
♪: Before connecting any device to the KeyStep Pro, please refer to its manufacturer's specifications
to figure out whether and how they will work together properly.
