This is where you select the electrical behavior for the Control Voltage connectors.
Here’s a quick reference chart for these parameters.

Chooses how much the Pitch CV will vary when the Pitch
strip is used.
GATE CV Output S-trig, V-trig 5V, V-trig 12V
‘Short/negative’ trigger and two common types of ‘Voltage/
positive’ triggers.
Now we’ll take a look at each of those parameters.
8.10.4.1. Pitch CV Output
The various models of vintage gear respond differently to electricity. KeyStep works well
with the most common types.
• 1Volt per octave – This is the standard used on most Eurorack modules and on
our very own Mini- and MicroBrute synthesizers.
• Hertz per volt – This is the technology used by Korg and older Yamaha
synthesizers.
