Scale Root & User Scales
Holding down SHIFT and pressing the Root key (F in the upper octave) gives you the option
to select another root note for the currently playing sequence.
Holding down SHIFT and pressing the User 1 or the User 2 key (F# or G in the upper octave)
enables you to store pre-defined scale roots.
For the major, minor, dorian, mixolydian, harmonic minor and blues scales, you can select
a new root note by holding down SHIFT and pressing the Root key then selecting a new root
in the lower octave of the keyboard. Pressing a key in the lower octave will update the Root
note. This can be repeated multiple times while holding down the Root key. The currently
active root note will be shown by its LED being lit up in blue.
Please refer to
Chapter 5
for an in-depth explanation of root notes and user scales.
CV Routing
To activate this shift function, hold down the SHIFT button and press the appropriate key
(G#, A, Bb or B in the upper octave).
All sequencers and arpeggiators can send their output signals to the four Voice outputs on
the KeyStep Pro's back panel. By default, the output of Track 1 will be sent to Voice 1, the
output of Track 2 to Voice 2, etc. There may be situations where you want more control
of the tracks' routings. That's what CV routing is all about. For example, you can route the
output of Track 1 to all four Voice outputs, or you can route the output of Track 1 to Voices 1
and 2 and the output of Track 2 to Voices 3 and 4.
For each track, you can define any combination of voices. If a voice is already used by
another track, it will be dimly lit. If it is already active for the current track it will be brightly
lit. If you select a voice that is already being used by another track, you will overwrite the
previously assigned voice. When Track 1 is in Drum mode, CV outputs that were assigned to
Track 1 will be freed up.
CV routing is an important skill to master when you
use a modular system [p.138]
with your
KeyStep Pro.
