Arturia KeyStep 37 MIDI Keyboard Controller and Sequencer - Manual (Page 40)

3.6.4. Sequence
3.6.4.1. Mono
The KeyStep 37 is able to playback sequences in Mono, even when originally they were
recorded Polyphonically. In Mono mode only the lowest note recorded in the step will sound.
All other notes will be stripped away.
To activate MONO press Shift + Mono. To restore the sequence to poly mode press Shift +
Mono once more.
In Step Recording mode, the sequencer records only one note in each step.
• Playing Legato fills the next step, and creates a tie between the two notes.
In Real-Time Recording mode, the sequencer only records one note in each step; only the
last played note is recorded.
• When playing playing a sequence recorded in poly mode only the last recorded
note in a step will be heard.
Note: If a sequence was recorded Poly, then setting to Mono only modifies playback, it
doesn’t delete any notes
3.6.4.2. Overdub
Next to the Mono Sequence key you'll find the overdub key. To activate Overdub press Shift
+ Overdub. This is a toggle function. Pressing Shift + Overdub once more will deactivate
overdub mode.
When Overdub is active notes you play/record will be added to the notes currently stored in
a step. Overdub is only active in Real-Time recording mode.
When overdub is active, and you play long notes in Real-Time recording mode over existing
steps, the current notes in the step are set to Tie.
When playing short notes on top of an existing sequence, the Tie status of steps remains
unchanged.
