Factory Presets

The following is a description of all of the factory presets that come on your 12 Step:

0. CHrO - “Chromatic Scale” - This is our simplest preset. The keys play a chromatic

scale starting with C2 (note number 48) and going up to C3 (note 60).

1. bEnD - “Tilt Pitch Bend” - This preset plays a chromatic scale starting with note C1

(note number 36) and going up to C2 (note 48). This preset uses the Hold note mode

rather than the Normal note mode.

2. LGtO - “Legato” - The keys play a chromatic scale starting with C2 (note number 48)

and going up to C3 (note 60). This preset uses the Legato note mode.

3. tOGL - “Toggle” - The keys play a chromatic scale starting with C3 (note number 60)

and going up to C4 (note 72). This preset uses the Toggle note mode.

4. PrES - “Pressure Volume” - The keys play a chromatic scale starting with C2 (note

number 48) and going up to C3 (note 60). The velocity of the note is always 127. The

ability to use the pressure of your foot on the key as volume control is included in this

preset. The pressure of your foot on any key pad sends out the pressure data on MIDI CC

#7 (typically used by synths for volume control). This has the effect of softening the

attack of the notes. Note that in this preset since pressure is used for volume, the

expression pedal is not mapped.

5. 5OCt - “5 Octaves” - This preset has 5 octaves stacked on each key. For Example: Key

1 plays C1, C2, C3, C4, & C5, Key 2 plays D1, D2, D3, D4, & D5, etc...

6. EPO - “Power Chords Legato” - This guitar friendly preset has power chords for each

key and begins in the key of E on key 1. For Example: Key 1 plays E0, B0, & E1, Key 2

plays F#0, C#1, & F#1, etc... The legato note mode is enabled which means that

stepping on a key sends a note on but releasing it doesn’t send a note off. Stepping on a

second key will send a note off to the previous note or tap on the select key to stop a note

without stepping on another key.

7. SUS9 - “Sus 9 Chords” - This preset has sus 9 chords on each key and begins on a C2

sus 9 chord and goes up to a C3 sus 9 chord. For Example: Key 1 plays C2, G2, A#2, D3
