9.1.2. Sync
Sync Values Description
Input Source [Internal, USB, MIDI, Clock, Auto (d)] Defines tempo and sync source
Clock
Rate
[1 PP16, 2 PPQ, 24PPQ (d), 48PPQ]
Allows you to choose from the different
analog clock rate types
Output
[1 PP16, 2 PPQ8, 1 PPQ, 1PP2Q, 1 PPQ4Q,
2PPQ, 24PPQ (d), 48PPQ]
Use these settings to sync KeyStep Pro to
various analog clock types
These settings allow you to specify the inputs for receiving synchronization and tempo
signals, as well as the input and output clock rates. By changing these settings, you
determine which type of clocking signal will be transmitted via the output connectors and
which type will be recognized by the sync/clock inputs.
Auto Mode works as follows:
• If no clock signal is received, you can set the tempo and press Play. The KeyStep
Pro will then behave as in Internal mode.
• If Clock / MIDI Transport Control (MTC) is received, the external clock takes
priority over the internal clock. The resulting tempo is calculated based on the
external clock. When the external clock stops, the sequencers/arpeggiators stop.
• If a MIDI Stop message is received, all running sequencers/arpeggiators will
stop.
The Sync Output submenu enables you to set the clock type for the analog output clock:
• 1PP16 = 1 pulse per 16th beat (clocked)
• 1PP8 = 1 pulse per 8th beat (1 pulse every two 1/16th beats)
• 1PPQ = 1 pulse per quarter beat
• 1PP2Q = 1 pulse per 2 quarter beats
• 1PP4Q = 1 pulse per 4 quarter beats
• 2PPQ = 2 pulses per quarter beat
• 24PPQ = 24 pulses per quarter beat
• 48PPQ = 48 pulses per quarter beat
9.1.3. Metronome
Metronome Values Description
Output Line, Speaker (d), Line Line/Speaker
Selects the output of the
metronome signal
Count-in OFF, 1 bar (d), 2 bars
Selects count-in duration when
starting Record
Time
division
1/4, 1/4 Triplets 1/8, 1/8 Triplets, 1/16 (d), 1/16
Triplets, 1/32, 1/32 Triplets
Set number of beats in a measure
Time
signature
1-16, default 4
Sets the number of beats that
make up a measure/bar
To use the Metronome, activate it with SHIFT + Tap Tempo/Metronome. The default time
signature is 4/4. For example, to set the time signature to 5/8, set Time division to 8 and Time
signature to 5.
