hi all,
just messed around with the keystep yesterday in the studio and
there were a few things/functions that i did nt quite understand.
one important thing i was wondering, is
when the sequencer is running
and u already had recorded some steps
(notes ) in via the keyboard,
u cannot playing additional notes over it
without recording them in the same time.
( i was controlling an analogue synth via gate/cv)
i mean when i want to play along over the sequence it only transposes the sequence in a weird way,
when hitting the keys.(when record function is off, only start key)
its hard to go functional on this thing , guessing what you doin, when theres no display:)
dont know if u get my problem, or if i missed something
reading the manual over and over again.
thanx,
lars

Hi Fenin,
Shift + Oct Minus (Transpose) = Enable key transpose mode (by default)
Shift + Oct Plus (Kbd Play) = Enable key playing while sequencer is running
Shift + Key 1..16 = Select MIDI channel for both sequence and keyboard play while seq is running
Shift + Oct Plus (Kbd Play) + Key 1..16 = Select MIDI channel for keyboard play while seq is running
If I remember correctly, the CV pitch out is always mapped to the sequence (to check)
Hope this helps

mhh ...guess i missed that ,
reading the manual.

Damn well its not just me then mine is like the factory 8 modes don't even come up or work at all so the sequencer is pointless for me right now. Hope you got yours fixed, i am hoping i can get mine fixed or maybe return this for a key lab 25 or something i can use.

Hi Savage,
One common mistake with the sequencer not playing is related to the sync setting.
Please check the following page:

hi
as far as my problem with overdubbing/playing
of notes while the sequencer is runnning
i understand now you have to use the shift and oct +
button to change between simple transposing the whole sequence or
just playing notes over the recorded one
(which i wanted to to)
maybe i messed up the factory setting (which is normal kplay mode)
when hitting the wrong combination of buttons by accident.
the snyc problem with ur daw /vst might be a simple sync/midi setting one.

Hi again
Tried it out today
And this doesn t work.
when i hit the Shift and OCt+
Button(Keyboard Play Mode)
i hear nothing from the synth
when i Play Along over the sequence.
?? :-[
Does this only function with
Midi gear connected(Not via Gate/cv)??
Thanx..

Hi,
Yes, it seems like it's only through MIDI.
-
yap
i figured it out as well today:
keplay is only available via midi.
hmm....
maybe an implement for the next up date ?
(if possible)
