The order in which a chain plays patterns can not be edited.
Just delete the chain and create a new one.

Copying scenes is similar to copying patterns:
If you hold the 'copy' button depressed you can copy the scene to multiple other locations.
That is the perfect way to create a song structure in which you keep certain basic elements and make changes in the copied scenes.
Copying scenes is similar to copying patterns:
- Hold 'Copy' and press the 'Scene' button.
- Select the scene you want to copy by pressing the corresponding step button.
- Hold 'Paste', press the 'Scene' button once more and press the step button of the scene you want to copy to.

In some situations, you want to be able to switch from one Project/Scene to another without any delay.
In other situations you want the Project/Scene to finish playing its patterns before switching to another Project/Scene.
To accomplish this you'll have to understand how the 'Wait to Load' option works.
'Wait to load' enables you to specify exactly when this change should occur.
Defining the switch point can be done in the MIDI Control Center or UTIL>Launch Quantize>Project/Scene/Pattern.
For a detailed description please refer to chapter 6 of the Keystep Pro manual.

To find out which patterns are programmed in the chain of a Scene:
A message in the display will tell you how many patterns are part of the chain of the currently selected scene.
The numbers of the patterns programmed in the chain will light up in the steps.
If a pattern repeats in a chain the corresponding step will light up twice.
- stop the sequencer
- select the Scene and hold the Chain button.

No, chains are temporary performance things.
There is however a way to save them: create a chain with patterns and save them in a Scene: hold 'Save', press 'Scene' and select a scene to save this configuration to.
When you load this scene the chain(s) will be part of it and become active.
Please don't forget to save the project and the scenes contained in it for future use:

Transposing sequences and arpeggios are temporary things, transposition states will be lost when you switch the Keystep Pro off.
If you want to save the transposed state of patterns, transpose them with the 'Shift' transpose functions (Semi up, Semi down, Oct down and Oct up) and save them by holding 'Save' and holding the track button.

Yes.
The best way to experiment with arpeggios is to hold down the chord you want to arpeggiate and press 'Hold'.
To transpose the arpeggio hold the 'Transp' key and press 'C2'. The arpeggio is now playing in its unaltered 'natural' pitch.
To transpose the arpeggio down press a key below 'C2'.
The KSP will calculate the interval between this new key and 'C2' and transpose the arpeggio down accordingly.
The 'Trans' key will now act as a toggle and enable you to toggle between the 'natural' state and the transposed state of the arpeggio.
Because the 'Hold' state of an arpeggio is remembered you can run arpeggios in tracks 2,3 and 4 simultaneously.
By changing track and toggling the 'Trans' (posed) state you can mix between transposed and untransposed states on the three tracks.

Yes.
The transposition status of each track is remembered.
A transposition is 'global' for each (sequence) pattern and arpeggio in a track.
If for example, you transpose an Arpeggio in track 2 with a third, you can toggle
between the 'natural' and transposed state by pressing the 'Transp' button.
When switching to Sequencer mode, you'll notice that when toggling between 'natural'
and transposed state the difference between them will also be a third.

The 'Transpose Group' feature enables you to group and transpose tracks together.
Here's how to do it:
You can now transpose the newly formed group.
As long as the Transpose knob is held own you can keep adding or removing tracks from the transpose group.
Group transpose can be applied to anything running on a track.
You can combine a sequence running in track one with an arpeggio running in track two and transpose the two together.
There are two ways to delete a group:
When you save a Project, a currently active group will be saved with it.
Here's how to do it:
- Hold the Transpose button. It will start to blink to signal that you are now in transpose mode
- Select other tracks to form a transpose group. The newly selected tracks will light up in white.

There are two ways to delete a group:
- Hold 'Erase' and press the 'Transpose' button
- Hold 'Transpose' and remove Tracks that are part of the group by toggling them 'OFF'
When you save a Project, a currently active group will be saved with it.
