62 ARTURIA – KeyStep – USER’S MANUAL
10.9.2.1 User Channel
This sets the keyboard MIDI Channel. It’s the same parameter found on the keyboard
that is set by holding Shift and pressing a key.
10.9.2.2 MIDI Input Channel
This parameter allows you to perform MIDI-to-CV conversion when the Sequencer and
Arpeggiator are stopped. The selected value is the MIDI channel that will be allowed to
control an external device through the CV/Gate/Mod connectors.
These MIDI messages can either arrive via USB or the MIDI Input connector.
10.9.2.3 MIDI Thru
This parameter will turn the KeyStep MIDI Output into a MIDI Thru. Incoming MIDI data
will be routed directly to the Output instead of being used to transpose sequences, etc.
10.9.2.4 Sustain Pedal Mode
You can determine whether you want your sustain pedal to behave in one of two ways:
As a momentary footswitch, which maintains its maximum value only while your
foot is on the pedal, or
As a latching footswitch, which stays on (or off) until you press it a second time.
10.9.2.5 Sustain Pedal Function
Your pedal can send a MIDI CC message, toggle Hold/Chord modes on/off, or it can do
both. Your choice.
10.9.2.6 Hold Switch Mode
You can determine whether you want the Hold button to behave in one of two ways:
As a momentary switch, which maintains its maximum value only while you are
holding it down, or
As a latching switch, which stays on (or off) until you press it a second time.
10.9.2.7 Hold Switch Function
The Hold button can be configured to send a MIDI CC message, toggle Hold/Chord
modes on/off, or do both.
10.9.2.8 Sustain Message MIDI Ch
This determines whether the Sustain Pedal will send its messages down a fixed MIDI
Channel at all times or change MIDI Channels when the keyboard does.
10.9.2.9 Sustain Message Range Low
Ordinarily a sustain pedal sends a value of 0 when it is off. But if you set the pedal to a
different MIDI CC number you could use as another modulation source. This would set
the minimum value that would be transmitted when the pedal was off, and it could be
something other than zero.
10.9.2.10 Sustain Message Range High
Ordinarily a sustain pedal sends a value of 127 when it is on. But if you set the pedal to
a different MIDI CC number you could use as another modulation source. This would set
the maximum value that would be transmitted when the pedal was on, and it could be
something other than 127.
