6. SYNCHRONIZATION
KeyStep can be the master clock for a wide range of musical devices, or it can serve as a
slave to any one of several sources. See
for connection diagrams.
The Sync options are selected using different combinations of the rear panel switches.
For example, in the illustration below the USB sync option has been selected:

It’s important to remember that the physical switch caps correspond to the white boxes in
the graphics to the left. Match the physical switches to the graphics and you’ll get it right
every time.
The switches are recessed so they won’t be changed accidentally. Use the tip of a pen or a
small screwdriver when you need to change their position.
