8.1.3. CV/Gate specifications
Some analog synthesizers have unusual implementations that are not fully compatible
with the BeatStep Pro CV/Gate signals. Please refer to their specifications before making a
purchase so you can be sure the two devices will work together well.
We’ve designed the BeatStep Pro to be as flexible as possible, though: the MIDI Control
Center [p.84] allows you to configure the response of the CV/Gate jacks in a number of ways.
These are the electrical signals that can be sent by the BeatStep Pro CV and Gate jacks:
• Control Voltage (Pitch) has two options:
◦ 1 Volt/octave (0-10V)
▪ 0 Volt MIDI note range: 0-127 (Volt/octave)
◦ Hertz per Volt
▪ 1 Volt MIDI note range: 0-127 (Hz/Volt)
• Gate output has two options:
◦ V-trigger (positive or "voltage"), trig voltage is between 10V and 12 V
◦ S-trigger (negative, or “short”)
The MIDI Control Center [p.84] allows each of these settings to be configured independently
for SEQ1 and SEQ2.
