Most MIDI devices default to receiving on MIDI channel 1, so connecting an external device and playing notes on Track 1 will usually trigger a response from the external device.
If the external device does not respond to what you're playing on a track,
that may be because it is set to a MIDI channel that doesn't match the current KeyStep Pro MIDI channel.
First, check the MIDI channel setting of the external device.
If the channels do not match you'll have to change the channel on which the track transmits.
For example, you want to transmit a sequence that's playing on track 1 to your external synth/device that receives MIDI on channel 5.
To make track 1 transmit on channel 5, go to Utility>MIDI Channels, select Track 1 output and set it to MIDI channel 5.

The Keystep Pro uses MIDI channels 1-4 by default, but that is just what it says; a default setting.
There are two ways to change these settings: the Quick and the Slow.
To quickly assign a track to another MIDI channel hold the track button for a minimum of one second and observe the message appearing on the screen.
Change the default MIDI channel to whatever is needed.
This MIDI assign is temporary; it will be lost when you switch the Keystep Pro off.
You can make this change on a per-project basis.
Project 1 can have track 1 assigned to MIDI channel 5, project 2 can have track 1 assigned to MIDI channel 12.
Don't forget to save a project after you've made MIDI assign changes: hold the 'Save' button and press the 'Project' button.
Press the Menu Encoder to confirm saving.
MIDI track assignments can also be changed in the Utility menu:
Another option is to reassign the output of every channel to any of the 16 MIDI channels in the MIDI Control Center.
You could, for example, assign the four tracks to transmit on MIDI channels 13, 14, 15 and 16.
You can even record and transmit on different channels: receive on channel 15 and play/send the recorded track on channel 11.
Last but not least there is an 'OFF' option to disable MIDI input for a channel.
To check whether the change you made has taken effect, open the MIDI Control Center and check 'MIDI console' in the 'View' menu.
Information about the notes you play on the Keystep Pro will now appear in the MIDI monitor window.

Yes, but with certain restrictions.
The Keystep Pro receives pitch, velocity, aftertouch, and gate from external synths or a DAW over MIDI.
Once received they can be recorded in the corresponding tracks and are available at the CV outs.
You can use them to control Eurorack modules.

Yes, that is possible.
Reconfigure the second MIDI port as a MIDI thru port.
When set to Thru, MIDI info received at the MIDI In or the USB port will be forwarded to MIDI OUT 2.
You can set this in the MIDI control center, or from Utility>MIDI Settings.
