The manual for the MIDI Control Center has general descriptions of the features that are
common to all Arturia products. To learn how to access the manual, click this link:

This chapter will cover only the MIDI Control Center features that are unique to the KeyStep
Pro.

9.2.1. MCC Basics

The MIDI Control Center is an application that allows you to configure the MIDI settings of
your KeyStep Pro. It works with most of Arturia's devices, so if you have an earlier version
of the software you'll want to download the latest version. It will work with those products
as well.
9.2.1.1. System requirements
PC: 2 GB RAM; CPU 2 GHz (Windows 7 or higher)
Mac: 2 GB RAM; CPU 2 GHz (OS X 10.8 or higher)
9.2.1.2. Installation and location
After downloading the appropriate MIDI Control Center installer for your computer from the
Arturia website, double-click on the file. Then all you have to do is start the installer and
follow the instructions. The process should be trouble-free.
The installer places the MIDI Control Center with the other Arturia applications you have. In
Windows, check the Start menu. In Mac OS X, you'll find it inside the Applications/Arturia
folder.
9.2.1.3. Connection
Connect KeyStep Pro to your computer using the included USB cable. It will go through its
startup cycle and be ready when the display shows "Project 1".
Now launch the MIDI Control Center. KeyStep Pro will be in the list of connected devices.
Potential issues: Windows OS
The MIDI driver for the KeyStep Pro is not "multi-client". That's a technical term that simply
means this: If a DAW application is already active on your computer, the MIDI Control
Center will launch but KSP won't be detected properly. To use the MIDI Control Center to
alter the parameters of your KeyStep Pro you will need to exit the DAW application.
