Now we'll take a look at each of those parameters.

9.10.4.1. Pitch CV Output

The various models of vintage gear respond differently to electricity. KeyStep 37 works well

with the most common types.

• (*) 1 Volt 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.
