Midi notes from Keystep and transport from OT

Elektron Gear Digitone/Digitone Keys

Hi, I’m stumped. I want to send the transport from OT into DN but I also want to send notes from Keystep into DN. There’s only one MIDI In on the DN so… how do I feed it those two signals?

When I tried sending the OT transport “through” the Keystep it causes the Keystep to “play” in either ARP or SEQ Mode. (Which I don’t want.)

Is there a setting on the Keystep or an alternate cabling I should try?

Thank you!

There are switches on the back of the Keystep.
Try to send notes from Keystep to OT, and from OT send both to DN.

Use the AutoChannel feature on the OT to pass note messages from the KS to the active track on the DN via MIDI sequencer track of the OT.
