ARTURIA – KeyStep – USER’S MANUAL 55
The knobs display that sequence’s Length (in steps) and Swing %. The pull-down menu
on the right allows you to select the Gate Length for the notes in that sequence.
10.7.2.1 Seq Length
A sequence can be as short as 1 step and as long as 64 steps. There are two ways to
change the length value: click on the knob and turn it, or click in the field and enter a
value between 1 and 64.
As the length is changed you will see a difference in sequence window. For example, let’s
look at a 4-step sequence:
Everything to the left of the white line is within the active portion of the sequence. As
the length increases, the white line will move to the right.
This also illustrates an interesting feature: a sequence can be shortened and still retain
the data that was there originally. So at a later point you can re-lengthen the sequence
and all of the original data will be available once again.
The patterns can be up to 64 steps long, and the unused steps are darkened because
they are outside the pattern length area.
The steps are numbered along the bottom of the window:
10.7.2.2 Seq Swing %
There are 10 values for swing % available from the keyboard when you use the Shift
button and play a key. But inside the MIDI Control Center you can select any number
between 50% and 75%.
Same thing here: to change the swing % value, click on the knob and turn it, or click in
the field and enter a value between 50 and 75.
