•
Focus on Ableton track 1 and click on the downward arrow in the 'All ins'
dropdown menu listed below 'MIDI From'.
•
Select KeyStep Pro from the listed options.
•
Select channel 1 if it is not already selected.
•
In the monitor menu directly below, select 'in'.
We've now instructed Ableton to listen to what's happening on MIDI channel 1. If your
KeyStep Pro is in its default state, Track 1 will transmit on MIDI channel 1.
Select Track 1 on the KeyStepPro and play a note on the keyboard. You should now hear the
virtual instrument you dragged to Ableton track 1.
We'll repeat these steps for Ableton track 2:
•
Again select KeyStep Pro as the MIDI source.
•
Select MIDI channel 2 as the channel that this track should listen to and
playback.
•
Select 'in' to monitor directly what is coming in on this channel.
Repeat this for KeyStep Pro Tracks 3 and 4 and select MIDI channel as input for Ableton
track 3 and MIDI channel 4 as the input to Ableton track 4.
Your screen should now look like this:
In this setup, the four KeyStep Pro tracks will play on the four corresponding Ableton tracks.
To play a drum track in Ableton:
•
Drag a drum set into an Ableton track.
•
Set the track to MIDI channel 10.
•
On Track 1 of the KeyStep Pro, press the Drum button.
♪: By default, the KeyStep Pro's drum track (only available on Track 1) will always transmit on MIDI
channel 10.
Because you've set the Ableton drum track to listen on MIDI channel 10, the two will match.
Your screen should now look like this:
