2.3. Sequencer improvements:
2.3.1. MONO mode refinement
When recording in MONO mode the Keystep Pro will only allow you to store one note in a
step. Whether it is in Quick Edit, Step Edit and Real Recording mode. This makes it easier to
record bass lines. New patterns you create in MONO mode will always record with Overdub
OFF.
2.3.2. Global offset: Shift + encoder
Holding 'Shift' and turning one of the five encoders will apply a relative offset to all steps
contained in the sequence for a parameter. The offset can be positive or negative. If for
example you Hold 'Shift' and turn the Velocity encoder to the right the value you dial in will
be added to the velocity value of all steps in the sequence. Turning the encoder to the left
will subtract values. The Keystep Pro will display the amount of added/subtracted velocity.
Global offset has no effect on the pitches in the drum track, but it will affect Gate, Velocity,
Time Shift and Randomness.
2.3.3. Step Listen
Step listen is finally here! When the sequencer is stopped, and Step Edit is ON, pressing a
Step selects and triggers it. This enables you to preview and edit the step without having to
wait for the full pattern to cycle. When pressing a step each note recorded in it is played
with its properties (pitch, velocity, gate, randomness and time shift). The notes in the step
are played in such a way that the note with the lowest time shift value plays instantly, and
other notes are played based on their timing offset from this first note. The note with the
longest gate in the step determines how long the step will sound.
