Behringer CRAVE, Quick Start Manual

(29) 

OCTAVE/LOCATION

 - these multi-colored LEDS show 

various details, such as the Octave, PATTERN number, 

BANK number, current PAGE, and GATE LENGTH.

(30) 

KEYBOARD/STEP SWITCHES

 - these multifunction 

switches allow you to view and select individual pattern 

steps, select a pattern number, select a pattern bank. 

They are used during recording of a pattern to show the 

current step. Active steps are illuminated with a steady red 

LED, and the current step flashes red.

The switches are laid out as a 13-note keyboard. The octave 

can be moved up and down by pressing the <KYBD or 

STEP> switches, and the row of 8 LEDs will show the current 

octave. The switches are used to control the sequencer 

editing, as well as the arpeggiator operation.

(31) 

SHIFT

 - this is used to access the secondary features of 

some of the other sequencer controls, such as SET END, 

BANK, SWING, KYDB, and STEP. Hold down SHIFT and 

the other switch at the same time. For example SHIFT + 

PATTERN (BANK) will show the current BANK number in 

the LOCATOR LEDs.

(32) 

PAGE

 - each pattern can be up to 32 steps in length. 

This switch allows you to show each of the 4 pages of 

8 steps each. The LOCATION LEDs 1 to 4, show which page 

you are on. If a pattern is playing, the STEP LEDs will show 

the steps in use on the current page.

(33) 

PLAY/STOP

 - starts or stops the playback of the pattern. 

If SHIFT is held at the same time, then this is the start of 

the pattern saving procedure.

(34) 

REC

 - press this to begin the recording of a new pattern. 

This is also used with SHIFT during the pattern saving 

procedure.

(35) 

KYBD

 - press SHIFT + KYBD to change the sequencer 

to keyboard mode. Press to change the 13-note 

keyboard octave.

(36) 

STEP

 - press SHIFT + STEP to change the sequencer to 

STEP mode. Press to change the 13-note keyboard octave. 

(37) 

POWER 

- indicates that power is supplied to the unit and 

the rear-panel power switch is on. 

MIDI Section

(38) 

MIDI IN 

- this 5-pin DIN jack receives MIDI data from an 

external source. This will commonly be a MIDI keyboard, 

an external hardware sequencer, a computer equipped 

with a MIDI interface, etc. 

(39) 

MIDI OUT/THRU

 – passes through MIDI data received at 

the MIDI INPUT and sends MIDI data to an application.
