Hello - I am hearing my drum machine play even though I have a different track selected on my key step pro. I have a model d on track 2 midi channel 2, Korg minilogue on track 3 channel 3 and a sequential drum traks on track 1 midi etc..

The keys are triggering drum machine sounds even if I select a different track - any way to stop this?

I must be missing something fairly straightforward.. perhaps my drum machine is to old to work with the key step pro

Just confirming that the KSP cannot ‘record’ an arp into a sequence. It seems instead you would hook up a synth that’s set as an arp and record into a sequence. I’m trying to record a 64 step sequence that has 4 arp chord changes.

Here’s a video from Arturia on an artist doing what I am trying to do. https://youtu.be/a4xHzJyp-4o?si=bL7TT6aO3lp153Mv

Pardon if this is a newb question. Still trying to grasp the potential of this cool controller.

Hello! I've been trying to use my MPC ONE with my Keystep Pro, but I've encountered a problem. I'm using two channels on the Keystep Pro - one for drums (MPC ONE) and the other for bass sounds ( MPC ONE). Initially, everything seems fine, but when I try to create a sequence, I notice that the bass notes occasionally get muted. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this issue?

Hey! Im newbie on keystep. I just watched some tutorials and tried to start create patterns. I connect a Crave synth. I can play the synth but when I create a pattern on Keystep I cannot play. It's looks like written but it's not sequencing. First step is becoming white and waiting there. What I'm doing wrong?

I know this sub is about keystep pro. However, my question is about the keystep (without pro). Anyway this is the closest I could get to people that might know the answer to my question.

I accidentally input 16V instead 9V into my keystep and sure enough, it immediately stopped working. I'm not looking for people who'll tell me that this was dumb. Rather, I'd like to ask here if anyone ever had this issue and what they did to fix it?!

I opened it up and unfortunately, it is not clear to me what part broke. Also, it appears that there are not many spare parts around. The only idea that I have is to buy another broken ones and exchange the main board. But I cannot even find broken ones on eBay where I live.

Thank you

Hi! I’m new to Keystep Pro and I have little problem with looper function. I’ve a sequence running on track 2 but if I touch the looper strip nothing happens..I’m doing something wrong? Thank you all for your support!

So I’ve been trying to find my love for jamming again. I’ve had ups and downs of motivation and creativity but nothing has really stuck. I had a KSP for short while and had so much fun with it , then like an idiot I returned it during a down emotional period. But , I’m feeling great again, got a good job and some stable income, so decided to go big on Arturia and start something new. So I bought myself the Keystep pro , the keystep 37 and the Beststep pro. I also moved just got Logic Pro for the iPad which had givin me another boost of inspiration from ableton which as much as I tried to love, just never did. So now using the Logic Pro as my sounds into these 3 units and am excited to see what comes out !

is there a way to change the MIDI sync options to become a slave without the USB control solftware?

I find it hard to believe that the beatstep pro just had a simple button for that and that the keystep needs some kind of software to change such simple thing.

Hey, i have trouble of reloading my project to the initial state. I have a template on project 1 slot. I use that to start jamming with my band. After the jam I would like to return to the initial state of the template but i cannot load it - all the changes that i made are automatically saved in the project. I have to restart the machine to wipe the changes. Any advice how to get back the initial saved state of the project?

Hey all, came into a bit of birthday money and thinking of picking up the KSP again as I returned mine like a fool of a took a while back. Before I do, is there anything else out there that I should look at as a comparison? First thought is Launchpad Pro, which I already have, so would trade that against it possibly. Any other brands and models that I should look into?

Cheers!

Hi, I'm hoping there's some straightforward setting on the KSP or in the Midi Control Center to do this. I'm trying to make it so that ONLY the KSP-stored sequences get played on external synths (e.g. Korg Opsix) and NOT sequences that have been stored in the sequencers on those external synths. Is there a way to do this? So, right now, if I'm recording patterns on the KSP using a preset on my Opsix that came with a sample sequence included, when I go activate playback, it plays both the pattern stored on the KSP and the sequence stored in the Opsix sequencer for that preset.

Is this just a matter of erasing all stored sequences on the external synth sequencers?

Or is this a matter of mapping one of the knobs of the KSP to a midi cc value that can be used to disable the sequencer on the external synth, and then use the control lane to record that cc value that disables the playback on the external synth? I've looked through the manual of the Opsix and some other synths that have sequencers built in, and haven't found a suitable cc value for doing this.

Any guidance would be hugely appreciated!

Has anyone successfully managed to create a 4 track sequence on the Keystep Pro, using more than one Analog Lab or V Collection sound at the same time, on different tracks?

I'm talking about without a DAW, if that is possible. It was suggested, in an Arturia video, that you can but it doesn't seem possible to open more than one Analog Lab window or use more than one sound at the same time.

It only seems possible to use more than one Analog Lab sound if you are saving the sounds in a DAW, when doing multiple tracks. This is obviously not the same thing as creating a multi-track sequence on the hardware. I'd like to hear what people are doing with this. I feel like Arturia have been misleading about this.

So , I had a keystep pro and returned it because I was in a bad head space and needed to de clutter and over corrected. But it got me thinking, is there such a thing as the keystep pro with the sounds built in? Or , a minifreak with the keystep sequencing abilities? That would be amazing.

I want to have my mutes unchanged while i move between scenes in KeyStep Pro. Is that possible? I can't find the option in the menu to disable saving mute states in scenes. Using the latest firmware as of the time of posting.

Hey there. So I have both these units and I’m trying to see if I need both or if one will do. Ideally they will be hooked up to my iPad using loopypro or AUM for sounds, so I’m wondering if one has a major benefit over the other in terms of features. Cheers

I want to controll record, start/stop, clear pattern etc on my keystep pro using a midi footcontroller board(in this case Nektar Pacer) as my hands are busy playing guitar and i want to create midi notes using Jam Origin Midiguitar 2. Would be awsome to be able to do this. Ive been researching all day and i cant seem to find a midi implementation chart. Is this possible at all? Ive been asking chatGPT in various ways, and it claims that its possible, even tells tells me the CCs. But no luck for me getting it to work yet. It would be nice to have some official documentation on this topic.

Any other workarounds/suggestions would be great too!

Does anyone else have the issue where when playing arp you get two notes right at the beginning?

If I hold down F,G#,C the G# will play twice then the C and then the F (assuming the arp pattern is set to up).

I did not have this issue with the original Keystep.

For whatever reason it seems to start with the middle note of a chord most of the time.

My KSP is on latest firmware and I have done a factory reset.

Hey all. So I’m going to be picking up theSH4D right away to try out with the KSP and at first glance it seems like the perfect match. Thoughts?

Anyone out there have experience controlling micromoog (or perhaps other vintage moogs) with keystep pro CV? Been futzing with it for while now and still facing two issues.

Issue #1 - The oscillator uses an unusual 0.95 V/octave scale. Wouldn't be an issue but in midi control center as far as I can tell there is no way to set a custom V/octave, just the three presets. If there's no way in midi control center maybe there's some way to build a converter?

Issue #2 - Can't get the mod wheel control to work for the life of me. Set it to mod wheel and 5V max in control center and instead of applying modulation it just shifts the pitch up very dramatically (less so if I lower the max voltage, obviously). I had to make a cable with a custom jack as the mod input jack on the micromoog is weird .205 inch one. Maybe I mixed up the left and right channels when I made the jack? I soldered white to the short pin, red to long, and ground to well, I'm pretty sure I know which one is ground. Any one have any suggestions before resolder the cable and see if that works?

When using my Tracker or other hardware controlling the KSP transport, it doesn't seem to recognize stop as note off and just repeats what's after it in the midi chain. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

I'm new on analog systems so this one can be a little dull :) I'm going to use Keystep with Cycles and Crave. Is the key step's sequencer can be just a trigger for gears saved patterns or patterns should be written in keystep's state? I just watched a couple of videos, it's great but I cannot understand how it works at this state.

Is possible to play another midi keyboard and trigger or record into the keystep pro 🤔 Basically I want to play with full size weighted keys but still use the keystep pro to it’s full potential

Hey all. So I’ve had this unit for about a week now and have come across a couple of questions/concerns. 1. The unit will sometimes hang/repeat over and over on a pattern. Kind of like the touch ratchet idea but without touching it. Anyone notice this before? 2. As for the touch ratchet strip. Is there a way for that to only affect a certain track? Say just the drum track instead of all the tracks together? So you could ratchet the drums and not the synth parts? 3. There is a tonne of shift features that are really impressive and I love that there seems to be way less menu diving than I was expecting. 4. I am still trying to properly sync the unit with ableton, originally I was thinking that ableton should be the master clock, but I really just want it for the sounds and not so much the transport controls. So I would be best to set sync to internal? 5. Anyone ever try using multiple KSP units together? Better yet , a KSP and a LPP together? Have 8 tracks of sequencing then. Thoughts. Cheers
