Arturia beatstep pro - MIDI to CV Conversion; Sequencer Mode - MIDI to CV

6.3. MIDI to CV conversion
It is possible to use BeatStep Pro as a MIDI to CV converter. Potential applications include:
• Using an external MIDI keyboard to play a vintage synth
• Using a drum sequence from your DAW to send triggers to an analog modular
system.
6.3.1. Sequencer mode – MIDI to CV
When the sequencer is stopped, or when you have muted SEQUENCER 1or SEQUENCER 2,
then:
• The MIDI input defined for SEQ1 and SEQ2 is sent to the MIDI output defined for
that sequencer.
• The Gate output is triggered.
• The Pitch CV output sends the incoming MIDI note plus pitch bend.
• The Velocity CV output sends the incoming MIDI velocity.
When the sequencer is playing and record mode is on, the same thing happens with two
differences:
• The notes are recorded into the BeatStep Pro sequencer
• The Pitch CV output does not send pitch bend data
