Controlling Parameters On A Daw - Arturia KEYSTEP PRO User Manual

We will assign CC# value 9 to Encoder 1 (Pitch). CC# 9 is CC# value that changes Oscillator
type on the MicroFreak.
• hold SHIFT + Project to open Utility
• scroll down to Controller, press the encoder to select this submenu
• select knob 1 and continue to select CC
• select cc# value 9
If you now turn encoder 1 you change Oscillator type on the MicroFreak. What's more,
because we started on Track one, we can use the steps on any of its patterns to control
Oscillator type on the Microfreak.
Remember how a step takes on the current value of an encoder when you activate it? You
can use this to program a series of Oscillator type changes.
• activate control mode if it is not already active
• select a pattern on track one
• press Step Edit to activate Step Edit mode
• set encoder 1 fully counter-clockwise
• press step 1, 3, 5, 7 to store '0' values in those steps.
• set encoder 1 in its mid position
• press step 2
• repeat this for steps 4 and 6 (remember to set the encoder in the mid position)
Play the sequence. You should now hear the MicroFreak alternating between oscillator types.
Note: There is an option in the MIDI control center that enables you to set a control range for
every Encoder. You could use this feature to limit the range of the controller 1 to the range
50 to 100 and thus only select specific oscillator types. To set this range click on 'device
settings' in the MIDI Control Center and changes the values listed under controller> knob 1
min and max range.

8.2.3. Controlling parameters on a DAW

CC# codes make it possible to control parameters of the plugins you use with your DAW! All
plugins of the Arturia V collection series have a MIDI learn feature that enables you to link
knobs on the KeyStep Pro to knobs on the plugin. Imagine the new sonic options you have
when using the Encoders on the KeyStep Pro to control the filters on the CZ V, the DX7 V, and
the Buchla Easel V simultaneously.
Please refer to the documentation that comes with your DAW and the V collection for info
on how to do this.
Note: CC# values transmitted over MIDI can also be used to control parameters on a
Modular system, but to make that possible you need to have a module that knows how to
convert these CC# values to analog voltages.
The controller assignments can be set using the
Utility>Controller.
