3.1.3. Pitch and Mod Touch Strips
The Pitch and Mod touch strips are similar to standard wheels in how they work, except that
you slide your finger backward or forward along the strip instead of rotating a wheel.
3.1.3.1. The Pitch Strip
The Pitch strip has a center zone in which slight finger movements produce no change.
Moving your finger forward bends the pitch upward, and moving it backward bends the
pitch downward. When you lift your finger, the Pitch bend value snaps back to zero.
3.1.3.2. The Mod Strip
The Mod strip works like a mod wheel: from minimum to maximum. Placing your finger at
the bottom of the Mod strip (the end closest to you) produces no modulation, and moving
your finger all the way up (to the end furthest from you) causes maximum modulation. The
Mod strip differs from the Pitch strip in that it does not snap to zero when you lift your finger.
3.1.4. The HOLD Button
The HOLD button enables the Arpeggiator to keep playing after you take your fingers off the
keys. But there's another way to use it: while HOLD mode is active, you can keep adding
notes to an arpeggio as long as you continue holding down at least one key.
For an in-depth look at the Arpeggiator, refer to
chapter 5 [p.63].
3.1.5. Sustain Pedal
If you have a momentary footswitch, plug it into the Sustain jack socket on the rear panel. If
it works backwards, disconnect your KeyStep Pro from its power source and then reconnect
it. KeyStep Pro will sense the polarity of the pedal, and it should work fine after that.
♪: The KeyStep Pro offers limited MIDI Machine Control (MMC) for pedals : you can only use them to
start and stop sequences.
