quite possibly one of the best thought out performance sequencers ever made.

One of the best turorials ever. You my friend know how to talk on a normal level that everyone understands. That is awesome. Thanks!

Life saver! Didn't realize this has been out for 6 years

Some of the very best, most informative and easy to follow tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks you. Must buy.

This blows me away with the possibilities. Excellent tutorial you caught me up a bunch thanks!

Most 'tutorials' or 'demos' are really just dodgy sales videos. This video is a true tutorial - and it will probably make me buy the device!

Sheesh! I'm like 6 years late to the game (and as I'm typing I see another viewer is too)...but I just ordered one on Amazon. Can't wait to get it tomorrow. How'd I miss this one?

Wish Akai did tutorials with their more expensive MPC Live like you guys go in depth with your sequencer. This was explained so well!

A really well thought-out demo. In-depth, well paced.

I'm so late to the game on a lot of these great pieces of gear. Thoroughly impressed with the BeatStep Pro. Great tutorial, too!

Just wish all this functionality was in the original BeatStep, even just the touch sensitive knobs and screen make this a much more playable sequencer.

bought the Keystep, will buy the Beatstep Pro....! still love my MicroBrute !

We should have the possibilty of sequence 3 or 4 instruments in each melodic sequencer. Ex, doing sequence in channel midi 1, then change to another midi channel, for example midi channel 2 and the sequence of the midi channel 1 will continue. If the channel if already occupied by another sequencer(midi) in the choosing midi channel option it will have a red color or something like that since midi only have 16 channels. In this moment we can only use one instrument in each sequencer which is limiting. Do that to next update in the firmware if possible. And choose between monophonic and polyphonic in each melodic sequencer. To play chords for example. We cant. We can do it in the drum sequencer but then no drums. It will make the BST a beast.

So awesome that you used a double shakkas to describe slide.

1:11 "and these knobs are touch snobs.." LOL!

i dont need it......but I want it.. so I must have it... so I will get it.... Im in love

Tutorial Hall of Fame!

i got one of these. ive had an arturia minibrute for years and have to say its very durable and hled up great

Great product I think there’s no comparison in versatility and price. I use Rene 2 sequencing mid to high range frequency melodies into very effected grooves....and with beat step doing the main drum rhythms and bass sequences can get sonically interesting quickly

great tutorial. just bought one of these. seems solid quality build. looking forward to learning new skills and making some tunes

When I first purchased the BSP I was like wth is going on. But it's all very simple. Wish it had more channels.

Great sequencer tutorial, thanks! I ordered the BSP while watching this.

4:52 that is so cool

I'm late to the party, but I just ordered one today. Can't wait to get my hands on this. Say...it may be covered in an update but is there a way to "sequence" or record rolls or ratchets, instead of just playing them live? Either way, phenomenal gear here, way to go Arturia!

Good tutorials, but the lack of sharp focus is annoying.

So far, so good with my Beatstep Pro, and this tutorial was very useful, thanks!

yeah love my beatstep pro, it is the center of operations.

We need a successor with more channels! I could get extra BSPs, but I'm rather sure I'd often mute the wrong track...

So basically the knobs are like piano key notes...makes so much more sense now!

Excellent tutorials.

Thank You Arturia, its amazing!

Would be nice if it could record when you change the octave...

Very cool device.

When you use the Arturia pro with other hardware it should negate the use of a computer.

My preorder shipped today!

This thing is amazing!

sold! I love Arturia!

Awesome tutorial! Thanks.

Brilliant video ! Thanks

9:59 at that moment I started to like this bass in loops it's interesting. but as a dj I find this machine a little complicated. but it a great panoply of rhythm combinations.... thank you for this tutorial a big thank you and a big greeting from a dj from algeria

very good tutorial, explanation, thank you !

Is it a polyphonic sequencer? I mean, can u record chords? Second question: is it possible to connect an external midi keyboard, play stuff and redirect it to a midi connected synth? :)

Does it just play percussive notes? Or can you play any length of notes? Does the keystep pro play varied note length better?

much better than reading the PDF manual! but why is MCC only OSX 10.8 and later now?

so arturia couldnt throw in an internal metronome-klick, you have to provide the soundsource for that aswell. Thats a bit stingy if u ask me. Also it would be good if the knobs lighted up in correspondens to the steps, so you see what steps are acitivated. I turn the wrong ones all the time.

Hey @ Arturia, what controller would you recommend to control the new Acid V synth? I'm finding mouse and keyboard a little unintuitive.

you have good explanation skills (while i wait for my delivery of this item ;) ) cheers budski

Alright, I'll buy one.

Best vid for the BSP for my purposes.

THANK YOU! i will be busy this weekend :)

_This_ is the kind of videos you guys should stick to.

Another great video, but disappointed there was no demonstration of legato, which makes me scared it's difficult.

Great tutorial! Thanx a lot

Great , love it, helped me !

this video really helped. thanks very much :)

This must be what Josh Wink made higher state of consciousness with back in the 90s.

How come when i make a melody, and then i make some drums i can hear the sounds of the melody when press a pad on my drum sequence??

Ohhhhhhhh....thank you!!

How do you automate pattern and sequence changes? Like 4 x patt 1, 4 x patt 5, 2 x patt 10, 1 x patt 5. I looked through the manual and I'm not seeing anything on this.

Great job! However is there a setting like "latch" mode where you can make a change but it only take affect at the end of a pattern and not in the middle of a pattern?

adds an ARPEGGIATOR

You could have knocked on dude. Yep, the water bowl is for both birds and K9.. Nice one to you and Brun (grey tip off noted) on the PB12.. Want one. Ye got a small old barn at Grenoble I can rent? Latest timbre on my original PB I have named 'The Brun Dialogue.' Be well. Maybe you could employ FeeFon kru to snatch. I dying here. Be well.

Just got one your vid is a great verbal manual if what this thing is capable of thanks

Can one sequence be double the length of the other? Let's say I have a drumloop 4/4 and i want to throw in a synth riff that's 32/32, is this possible?

Is it possible to copy sequences between the two sequencer tracks?

is it possible to play multiple sequences at once? So different sequences layerd

Hello :) I really dig my BSP, but could someone please help me understand how to save all my patterns to my computer. And then transfer them back to the beatstep pro? The maunal confuses me, Iv tried dragging and dropping to no avail and using the the recall and store to scares the hell out of me as I lost a pattern doing this. Please help :)

You set blues scale HOWEVER... How do you choose the "Root Note"?

needs to up date ! midi app always crash...

Your a genius 👏🙌✨👌

Great piece of gear. Though shame that it doesn't populate pitch bend data. Even my 10 year old hardware sequencer can do that.

Sssohhhh dope bruh😏!

Good job on the tutorial. But then I see your name, and you better be making good tutorials.

Where do the actual tones themselves derive from? Are they local to the unit, or or they input from your synth plug-in on your DAW?

I like my beatstep pro..one minor gripe though, is no pattern chaining, as far as I can tell.

I will buy this thing

great tutorial ! I was wondering how you can set the drum sequence toa vst and sequence 2 to a vst and,lets say, sequence 1 to trigger a hardware synth...and play all the at the same time?? How would i go about doing that?

@ 24:20 you transpose the machine. Is this possible to record into the BeatStep Pro? Would be cool if I want to use it straight with hardware.

I'm trying to decide between the Beatstep Pro and the Circuit Tracks. Which do you think is the most useful?

project files are super messy to handle and on top ‘’’ no good options for settings

Thank you very much Glen for video! Tell me please. Can I import and save midi parts from my Ableton project to melodic sequencers with Midi Control Center?

How do you set the sequence to 64 steps? Noob question I know but there you go.

at the video u tell they are push encoder - but at my BeatStep Pro are normal encoder and the function for the notes at the sequencer is "knob-pitch and than direct to rotated the encoder - is this right " i don't have any push function at the encoder

Any tips on how you can create note "rolls" or ratcheting on BSP?

Is there a way to duplicate pattern parameters from 1-16 step part to 17-32 step part?

Great video, I have a simple question. It's possibile to change the pitch on the Beatstep in Octave C-2 and C-1 when I do the sequencing? because in my Beatstep, if I don't use the Midi Control Center in the computer, the pitch arrives at maximum C-0 ????

Can I make music without a computer with this sequencer and some synths and machines? I'm new to music making and don't have a computer

Hi thanks for the video tutorial. I just got a beatstep pro a week ago i've been building some bears. but two days ago my shift tap/metro is not working can you help.

What’s the best app to use with it for melodies for iPad? Should you use the i spark program? What is recommended?

Are you really using an iPad charger? That's 12volts... Does this makes it more stable?

"So when I touch a knob"

What about Gate ? Can you adjust gate for each aswell?

Someone know how to change the root note of the scale selected?

Great tutorial friend!!!! I was wondering... can you control the level of quantize, or even turn off quantize for a completely human feel? Still, I'm sold either way, and plan to buy one soon. Thanks again and take care!!!!!!

I get that I can choose the scale. But how to set the key. So that all notes are in F# min for instance.

Any news upcoming for namm2018?

Someday KZfaq will get audio synced with video.

Can you change the tonic? Like A minor? or are you stuck with C?

Interlaced video?!? Who does that???

Is it possible to shift patterns from left to right? Thanks
