User's Manual

Now look over to the right of where you select programs
and bend ranges. You will see a menu for selecting Note
Modes. By selecting various Note Modes you can choose
how your foot presses effect the note on and note off
messages.
Normal - Upon pressing on a key a "note on" message is triggered. When the key is
released a "note off" is sent.
Legato - Pressing on a key sends a "note on". When a different key is pressed, the
previous key’s note is turned off and the new key’s note turns on. If you wish to turn a
note off before hitting another key, tap on the select key.
Toggle - Pressing a key sends a "note on", a second press sends a "note off". Stepping
on a different key sends a "note on" without turning off the previous note. Tapping on the
select key will turn off all active notes.
Hold - This mode basically allows you to switch back and forth between normal mode and
legato mode using the select key. When you first go to a preset that uses Hold mode the
keys will behave as though they were in Legato mode. If you tap on the select key once all
notes will turn off and the keys will switch to behaving as though they were in Normal
mode. Step on the select key again and the keys will go back to behaving as though they
were in Legato mode and so on...
Just to the right of the Note Modes menu is the Key Safety menu.
The key safety menu gives you 3 different options: Multi Key and
Single Key.
Multi Key - you can trigger multiple keys at a time without any
safety feature implemented to prevent you from accidentally
triggering another key.
Single Key - only one key can be triggered at a time. While your foot is pressed on one
key all other keys are locked out and cannot be triggered. This helps prevent accidentally
triggering wrong notes.
Select Key
The select key on the 12 Step plays an important role in the operation of the device.
To navigate to other presets hold down the Select Key until
all of the red LEDs for each key pad begin to flash. Now you
are in Select Mode. In Select Mode you can step on one of
the numbered key pads to go straight to the preset of that
particular number.
If you press the enter button while in select mode you can use the -10 or the +10 key
pads to increment or decrement through preset decades and then fill in the second digit
by pressing one of the numbered key pads.
