Thanks so much for sharing ! I have had my KSP for many months now and NEVER had a clue about number 4! Wow! I can have a one bar pattern, but have 3 other variations to that pattern, without even having to program them in?! Damn!
concise and clear instruction, thanks for this. Never mind all the zillion things it does perfectly, recording arpeggiation would be a very welcome addition.
Very good and helpful. Is there any way I can get the modes to light up when I'm playing single notes so I can learn the notes in the scales and in each mode? I'm trying to learn piano and I already have this keyboard.
Is it possible to have recorded sequencer input realtime-quantized, so that non-quantized notes are never played through to the MIDI output? When adding notes to a sequence by playing, it destroys the illusion of a seamlessly evolving sequence, when the realtime-played notes are slightly off. And they almost always are slightly off, compared to the machine-played sequence. Arpeggiators usually do it that way: when you add more notes to your chord, the new notes are only played when the arpeggiator hits them, not immediately. But I'd like the same for sequencers. I have the Keystep 37 and haven't found a way to make it work like that. Looking at the KeyStep Pro manual, what I'm talking about would be something like forward-only quantization, in real-time. Unquantized MIDI notes never output, only perfectly in time. I have no problem playing slightly in front of the beat.
Nice video! Are the sounds coming from the keystep itself, or does it trigger a vst in your DAW? And is it able to sequence 4 external synths at the same time, and would you be able to adjust for example reverb or any filter of the synths on the fly, while it is being sequenced? And would you be able to change a preset on synths and overdub, without affecting the sequence that already is in play from that synth?.. If not, what sequencer on earth would be able to do these things that has been asked above, thanks in advance!
Can you have more than one instrument sharing each of the KSP's four sequencer tracks? For instance, could I connect 2-3 different Volca Drums to the drum track to give me 12-18 drum voices? Would the KSP allow me to run two synths (on different MIDI channels) on the same melodic sequencer track?
All my control sequenced filter sweeps sound choppy like its being divided up on the steps. They don’t sound smooth. I’ve tried everything. I’ve started with a new clear program. Tried with different synths on different channels. All knobs are set to individual midi ch.s. Still choppy filter sweeps. Real-time recording is when this is happening. Any clue? According to another RUclipsr, this is how it behaves. Which is terrible if true.
best buy of 2020. you should make a whole course ofthis amazing device
recording arp's has been added in firmware update

I can see #4 painting myself into a confused corner. Thanks for the vid man, very helpful.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial! I just learned several things. Thanks so much!
Great Video. Surprised there are more Thumbs-up. I just got my KSP, and I’ll be definitely checking these out. A big thank you.
This sounds great and tech tips are appreciated.

It does now, as of v 2.0
Absolutely great device for live performance. Best Buy for me too on 2020!
One of the best tutorial out there. Thank you!
Found almost every Zaquencer feature except probability, not bad for old school midi controller, thanks to Zaqaudio and Arturia )

Can the beat repeat be assigned to individual tracks? Or are you limited to repeating all 4 tracks?
Do I need a computer to use the Keystep Pro?
Yes, it’s a midi controller so there are no onboard sounds
Any MIDI or CV/Gate sound source will do, not just a computer. So drum machines, synths, samplers, eurorack modules etc.

12:39 What would happen if you feed midi out back to midi in. That could be one way to record arpeggiator?
You can record now with new update out today!
How off grid is the live unquantized recording on the KSP?
Hey there! What source for drums in this video? Sounds like real drums.

There are no sounds in the keystep pro. It just produces midi. You'd need software on your computer.

Does this keyboard actually have inbuilt sounds or are the sequencer tracks all coming via an external device?
The KSP is MIDI only. It has no internal sounds.
@@silverfaux8545 thanks, wasn't sure, but i bought one as i suspected as much. Superb little instrument. Thanks once again my friend.
Are the sounds coming from a DAW? If so, can you record the MIdI from Keystep into DAW after creation?
Yes, you can record all the MIDI from the keystep

It goes out of key???
Aha, 3 octaves - eventually.
nah, 4 tracks are not enough... great features, sure, but its still too minimalistic.
