    This video basically finally put all of the pieces together for me. So funny - I just started typing "struggling to find a simple workflow" and I see a comment from a year ago saying the same bloody thing! Thank you.

    Thanks for a very clear walk-through and how-to. The order and pacing is spot on and it taught me what I needed to know to get started with my KSP. This skill set applies to any genre of music we can make on the KSP. Well done!

    Having just bought a KSP last week, and finally getting it out of the box this weekend, this is a timely video. Got it to work with my Volca Drum easily enough (although that needed a firmware update to fix a bug in its MIDI implementation). Understand a little more about the power of the step sequencer now. Great job!

    on my 37 i use the 8 banks and i add my velocity by adding the 64 notes in tandem and then same for snare and hihats . so 3 banks for dynamic changes usually bridges and build ups . 4 on the floor is really easy just press the kick note 16 times and then set you rate knob to 1/4 instant 4 kick

      @crnkmnky 2 года назад

      Yeah. I think this seems quite intuitive compared to most grooveboxes or standalone sequencers for sale today.
      The sticker shock is reduced once I realize how much less-enjoyable gear this will replace.
      But I should still get rid of some other gear before buying it. 😅

    There are a limited number of moments (2 or 3) in this very good video, where it sounds like the volume drops out when the sequencer is running....is that the Keystep missing steps? Seems weird. I'm seriously considering purchasing this item, but I worry about things like that. Thanks in advance for your insight.

    Awesome tutorial thanks for covering the important areas of the KSP! Btw, how do you "midi learn"/assign the minilogue xd to a specific channel? From the Midi control center or in another way? Minilogue xd has been assigned to Channel 1 and i am not sure how to move it or reassign it to channel 2 of KSP for example. Thanks in advance!

    Is it true that only one midi din out works at once? Every time I connect the second midi din to a synth, it can't be heard or cancels out the other one.

    wouldn't it be easier to make the snare roll/shuffle part just 3/4 shorter? as its just the same thing repeating.

  • @GrootsieTheDog
    @GrootsieTheDog 3 года назад

    For some reason, when using control knobs, the sequenced control knob movements playback in steps instead of smooth. So for instance, a filter sweep sounds choppy. It doesnt sound choppy when controling the synth(s). But as I said, when the sequenced contol plays back, its playing in steps and not smooth. Am I missing a control setting that I cant find? Thx.

  • @Hakucho64

    Can you use the drum sequencer with a MIDI-connected sample player, such as the Volca Sample? If not, what's a good entry-level hardware drum machine?

      @@Noisegate I could only get my VS2 to play via the sequencer, not the drum mode, until I realised from another video that for track 1, the MIDI channels for the sequencer and drum mode are set separately. I'd set the sequencer's channel correctly, but the drum mode's channel was still on channel 10, the default. Changing this to the actual MIDI channel of my VS2 fixed the problem. Hope this helps someone.

    I'd love a response to this cos iv'e posted it on a bunch of videos and nobody has responded. As far as midi connection goes, i realise there are only 2 midi outs, however, with a 4 channel midi thru module, can you assign midi channels to say another 2 midi synths, to one of the 4 tracks?
