4.2.13. Keyboard
The KeyStep Pro's 37-note slim-key keyboard features great-feeling keys that are narrower
than standard piano keys but still large enough to allow for maximum playability across
three octaves. The keys are both velocity and aftertouch sensitive to give your performance
maximum expressivity.
4.2.13.1. Keyboard LEDs
Each key of the KeyStep Pro has a corresponding multi-color LED located directly above it.
These LEDs blink to provide visual feedback on what the four sequencers/arpeggiators are
playing. The color of each LED changes to match the selected track (Track 1 is green, Track
2 is orange, Track 3 is yellow and Track 4 is red).
Also, the two little triangles on either side of the keyboard light up if there is activity outside
the range covered by the keyboard. This may happen when an octave transposition shifts a
sequence or arpeggio outside the visible keyboard range.
4.2.13.2. Keyboard SHIFT Functions
The KeyStep Pro has many secondary or Shift functions that can be accessed by holding
down the 'Shift' button and pressing one of the keys on the keyboard. The blue text above
each key indicates the Shift function associated with that key.
The row of LEDs above the keyboard will give a lot of information about what is going on:
• When you hold down the 'Shift' button, the current ON/OFF state of the Shift
functions will be shown.
• When you turn the Pitch encoder in Step Edit mode, it will show which note(s)
you are editing.
