Hi Jade, two tips that are not yet in the manual, (i'll include them in the next update) when you're looping steps with the looper; hold a looper indent and press any step. The looper will then loop starting from that step. Second tip: if you like the metronome it's good to know that you can change its time division on the fly by holding the tap button and selecting a new time division on the keyboard..
VERY nice tune at the end-wonderful example of using the key step pro! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the reaction to those who say "you're not minimalist"--ha! Those folks just aren't into synths--and can just leave the rest of us addicts alone!
finally someone that likes the lights! my studio is dark with colored led lights and I love the atmosphere... in fact my whole house not a single room has direct bright lighting.... the colored leds from aquariums are part of the lighting but its mood lighting throughout my house...
So lovely to see another Eurorack system with cute stickers on it! (and not just the manufacturer and retailers' stickers lol) And such a lovely video in general, especially the song at the end... I wouldn't dare make something so lighthearted/chill on my own system but I'm so glad you're putting this energy out there
YOU ALWAYS make the freshest beats and pieces. It’s not the gear I can tell, you have a very particular pair of ears that are constantly distinguishing and discriminating. It makes me ask, how much time does it take for you to ‘settle’ on any particular voice? It is something that you could spend forever searching for and sometimes never really be happy with. Very fitting your pattern, it matches your T-shirt. I am really happy for you, that you’ve found some sort of niche on RUclips, since you could be doing all the same stuff but no one would even know it. More selfishly I’m glad I found you because you’re really good and it’s to my benefit, I’ve liked all of it. Keep it up. THANKS AGAIN!!
love your explanations and tutorials as well. thank you for putting this stuff out there. the arturia keystep really doesnt have that many tutorials and some of the other ones don't explain things for us that are beginners so very helpful coming here.
Hopefully they announce the black one soon so it'll match my setup. This is exactly what I need. Picked up the BruteS2 instead of the Beatstep Pro, glad I did now.
Hi! I like the sounds coming out of your modular system. It happens too often that I feel people using modules don’t really know what they’re trying accomplish or they’re not good at it, I don’t know... I collect Korg volcas last couple years but the built in sequencers don’t have enough length and storage capacity. This Arturia seems very nice. Thanks for your video!!!
Love my KSP.. so quick and easy to jam out the starting point of a track without complex routing or computer.. comments about other more powerful modular sequencers miss the point, that this is about usability and workflow to unlock creativity..
Nice track at the end! I’m considering buying one of these. Seems like it would be great for a few desktops or rack mounted gear as well. Anything really. Well I’ll be waiting on that Arturia Keystep Pro 8 to come out as well. That’s 8 sequences at once 😂 💕
I think this has more in common with the BeatStep Pro and more likely the successor to that machine than the KeyStep despite the name. It looks more like the added on a keyboard and an extra track to the BeatStep Pro as well as a few other enhancements. I might be oversimplifying things here. Very nice video though.
I kind of think its not quite really. I think all the Arturia controllers are awesome though. Beatstep pro has fantastic velocity sensitivity of the pads, does complex rhythms, triggers samples/envelopes with 8 gates...it's kind of a beast really. And the interface is more to 'tweak' melodies, and play beats/samples/triggers. The Keystep Pro looks perfectly slotted for that player that is primarily sequencing melodic work, but doesn't want to switch to pads as an interface (although of course you can do keys on pads...it's just kind of weird to me). The KP can fully lay down a beatstep sequence, but you're going to be *playing* melodies on the keys, not hitting pads.
Thank you again for another awesome video. I have just gotten into eurocrack and have the novation sl mk3 but its cv out what I bought it for is lacking. This was so informative. Keep the videos coming stay safe. Thank you
Nice piece of gear but almost one year later and the dark edition has not hit the stores yet. My minibrute and beatstep are dark so it would look kind of wierd to not have the dark keystep pro beside them. I'm looking at you Arturia!! Well.. Thanks for the video! :-)
Love your channel and your genuine excitement about the KSP, it transmits more about the product than any features-listing review could. I’d be all over the KSP, but the thing that keeps me from buying one is that switching midi channels on the fly on this keystep edition has been made seemingly impossible. Reading the manual it seems that, to change the midi channel, there’s some menu diving necessary. That’s a shame for me, ‘cause I’ve got a bunch of gear chained up and organised across all 16 channels, so here it seems I’m forced to choose between four instruments to control directly via the tracks and then if I want to jam over those with another instrument, I have to go into the Utility Menu to change the midi channel. Well, maybe I’ll have to get a Squarp Pyramid to place between my Keystep and my gear, after all.
THanks for the video!! I have a couple questions... as a non-keyboard player. Can you set the LEDs over the keys to display a specific scale? Also can you record notes one step at a time... in other words, can you select a step (1-16) on the pads, key in a note, go to next step, repeat?
honestly ...cool...like that your content shows your gear i thought i was in a space ship when i was young but your beyond.well diffrent time for me..oohh do i miss. but gonna get what i need to make my gear sing again. and yes yes why not 8....ohhh please 8
@@1_of_4 Haven't found that in the manual though. Another thing that's going to make a lot of people mad is the missing global transpose. It can only transpose what's currently in focus. So forget about transposing a whole song in a live setting, if you have to step through each track one after another thats not gonna play well.
That song! Talk about taking command of your gear. Sounds great! I haven’t stepped into eurorack stuff (yet), still I did order this controller recently. You have a lot of gear pass through your setup, which is awesome to watch your reviews and get your take. On this one, does it still fit in with your setup/workflow or has something else taken its place?
This is something I need all Iv been making music on is a Yamaha DJ a pocket operator KO sampler and a Tuscam multitrack recorder I try and keep away from computers I sometimes use a daw but I hate its . no fun at all
Minimalism is about having only things you need or that matters and is important to you, so if you care about having all that gear, you shouldn’t be afraid or fell guilty for buying more. Only get rid of things you don’t really need!
Great video, now I have to buy that thing. Just one question - did you record that first sequence non quantized? This feature is really important to me, so how do you find it and do you prefer it? Thanks a lot. Great music.
Really glad I found your channel! I've been trying to decide on what to use with my DIY synth, I've got a beat steps pro ordered, but I need keys >< Figured this one might be a good one to use. Cheers for the information! That was an excellent groove at the end too :)
Thank you for a great demo etc . I'm thinking of replacing me regular keystep to get this so i can sequence my drumbrute, uno synth , td3 and microkorg what do you think ?
I know I said predecessor, I meant to say SUCCESSOR. Thank you to all the grammar nazis that pointed that out ;)

Makes me wanna advanche in dawless music

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Voice to me are always evolving and changing, so I focus more on the melody and let the voices be a live tweaking part
Tack!
Best vid for the Keystep Pro I’ve seen so far. Your jam was a treat, too!
love your explanations and tutorials as well. thank you for putting this stuff out there. the arturia keystep really doesnt have that many tutorials and some of the other ones don't explain things for us that are beginners so very helpful coming here.
What an awesome review. It's nice to get a review from someone who knows what they're talking about. Thanks.
I've watched maybe 10 videos concerning the Beat Step Pro ... and yours is by far the best... Thank You
I didn't realize the Pro is so cool. Some great features here! I had a Keystep and sold it, this looks like a keeper.
Jade, ty for the review, and your music just sound amazing! Love what you are about, keep it up!
Oh man, you are on FIRE this week and my quarantine loves it.
Hopefully they announce the black one soon so it'll match my setup. This is exactly what I need. Picked up the BruteS2 instead of the Beatstep Pro, glad I did now.
I loved the way you played the first track before it got quantized - there was a 3 over 2 feel in the sixth measure :)
E flat is ma jams!
Super dope video. Could you make an in depth on how you hook up this exact set up and talk about the rack in the video?

Lovely arrangement and sounds. Recently added a keystep pro to my setup, it’s making sequencing fun.

I don’t need one of these, but you made me want one... Thanks for all that you do.
Fantastic Track JAde it is so spacey and soothing ,relaxing at the same time.
So glad I found you. Thanks for dropping the knowledge!

But it lacks the drum pads of beatstep pro; it’s definitely it’s own thing imho. It’s also missing some of beatstep pro’s features which is a bummer.
The song at the end was so nice!
The fast pluck sound paired with the ping pong delay really got me, thank you a lot, great track!!!
Love your channel. Always gaining insight. Thanks for sharing ^_^

I guess the step repeat is the short term solution to the lack of ratchets? Hopefully they add that soon; all the same I ordered one. Nice vid...
Rachets would be nice..
Still waiting for that one! It's there in the BSP already
RIGHT ON RIGHT ON
I just got one very stoked to check it out ! thanks for the info sista !
Thanks, Jade. I just got mine today. I’m NEW to synthesizers - in spite of my channel! 😛
Very nice review and cool music
any experience with ableton? how does it work?
do recall early analog sequencers...do like specs of new and both.i do like.getting regardless.thanks for info.

This is so pretty to me. I have a Novation 49SL MKIII though. I'm not sure I can find a good enough reason to buy one.
A good one! Thanks for a small review!
nice jam at the end !
Nice review! And beautiful music at the end!
One thing I’d love to have for my keystep is transpose automation. Wonder if the new keystep pro can do that.
Château Robinet I do believe it can do that with the 5 encoders.

when do we get the black keystep pro, hate that white stuf.
Nice jam @ 6:35 - Four tracks is enough for minimalist grooves!
looking into best buck for an effects box
Man, I was waiting for your review!
I might do a 30 day!
The drums could be replaced by more foley sounds like sticks, water etc
If u have beatstep pro i would love to see a video working together
Glad to see someone who hate cables too, except colorful ones :)
Have you checked the SL MKIII from Novation?
Tino Fiumara I have not, but it looks cool! I like the small form factor on this one tho
Ugh. I love that tune at the end. I would be interested in seeing how you patched those sounds. Maybe on the second channel.
JAde Wii, beautiful tune! Love this setup!! 👊🏽😏
This is something I need all Iv been making music on is a Yamaha DJ a pocket operator KO sampler and a Tuscam multitrack recorder I try and keep away from computers I sometimes use a daw but I hate its . no fun at all
Thanks for posting!
How do you compare it to slmk3?
Can you make a song with those things?
I love those sounds!!! Anyone out there knows what would be the best hardware synth to make the same sounds???
I’m gonna make a video about that soon, keep an eye 0ut :)
Wow this song you cooked is very dope
I love that track at 2:10 :)

Nice vid, been thinking about this device for a while. Quick question? How do you backup your projects, like if it was stolen.
Thanks. I believe you can do it through USB
Can I plug a larger midi keyboard into this and use the sequencer?
Just got one. Thanks for the overview. :)
Great video, now I have to buy that thing. Just one question - did you record that first sequence non quantized? This feature is really important to me, so how do you find it and do you prefer it? Thanks a lot. Great music.
I don't remember. Its useful, but destructive, meaning once you do it you can't undo it
Love the jam!!!
super useful review, thanks a lot
Forget the review, amazing original track Jade ! Tell me what rack unit are you running there ?
Thanks! And what rack?
Sorry, your modular gear there
I like your shirt! And videos! 🙋
Great review! :) The missing notes at the start of a recording you mentioned, could that be due to a count in/precount in the sequencer?
Keystep Pro is the successor to the Keystep, not predecessor.
Fantastic video. Thanks Jade!
What music applications do you or you all recommend for PCs?
Very nice, I want one.

I need these sounds lol. Are all of the melody sounds coming from the eurorack?

it's very straight forward!
