In todays video I am using my eurorack together with the Digitakt, Digitone & BeatStep Pro to make a little jam. Also showing some stuff from North Coast Modular Collective: bit.ly/northcoa...
also using drum modules supplied by Hexinverter: bit.ly/hexinver...

Came to see whether I wanted the beatstep or keystep to sequence my gear, confirmed that I'd rather use the digitakt 👍

The jam you build here is very, very nice, Bo! 🤗👊

@jimmyklane 6 жыл бұрын

Nice jam man! Great gritty and gnarly sound you got from your setup. Seems to me like you could add a small format mixer to get your stereo field back (perhaps a rackmount one?) and have everything you needed for jamming out at a gig. Anyway, WELL DONE! I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Very very nice jam Bo. Television theme stuff you playing there. It could easily be used for an action adventure show. The drum sounds aren't really my kinda drums as I prefer the 808, MPC type drums but for the type of track that you are doing here it works very well. Respect

Didn't get a note out of my BSP, wondering and looking at YT videos... Then (after an hour or so) changed midi cables et voila. Turned out one of the Arturia cables was iffy. Need to swap that for a working one. Then! ran the BSP to sequence my new ARP Odyssey rev3, oh joy oh joy!!!

@stinkymart3173 6 жыл бұрын

You'd recommend the Beatstep? I've got a Drumbrute and i've been wet for the beatstep for the past few weeks but I've heard some sketchy stuff about Arturia having a reputation for unreliability. From demos i've seen it seems solid...

@Electronicmassacre 6 жыл бұрын

Well from my experience with the beatstep pro there are no issues I have come across. I think arturia’s bad rep came from the minibrute, it was plagued with all sorts of manufacturing issues. But I think they’ve got a lot better at reliability since then. The beatstep pro is probably the best sequencer out there for the money.

Beatstep is very hands on but Digitakt adds sampling and deeper midi sequencing. If you need that go for it. Check my Digitakt videos to get an idea if ts for you :-)

@mikehydropneumatic2583 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Bo, nice jam. The Behringer Model D is shipping to Europe, any thoughts? Comes in similar rack/case as the M32 so it might even be modular integratable.

@BoBeats 6 жыл бұрын

I think Neutron will be amazing for eurorack. Model D less so. Not on par with m32 there. Soundwise it seems great for the money!

@mikehydropneumatic2583 6 жыл бұрын

Good point, i had already forgotten the Neutron, have to watch the Sonicstate video. Just figured that it will be around €299, now that is affordable! Added a phaser to my VP-03 sting section, very JMJ-ish :) Keep looking at the Waldorf Streichfett as well, they are going for €218 new here in NL.

@leo.nordmann 6 жыл бұрын

I have my Model D since the middle of march If I remember correctly. It's an amazing synth. (I'm from germany btw) So it has been shipping for a while now. Neutron will be 349€ if I'm not mistaken (299$) and I'll buy that aswell to go into my arturia eurorack.

@mikehydropneumatic2583 6 жыл бұрын

Here in The Netherlands I saw it was shipping 21th of april, but that could be just that specific store. Good shopping in Germany, I live 5km from the border and bought some gear at Musik Store in Cologne. The Model D sounds very convincing, great bang per buck.

@modularben7421 6 жыл бұрын

Hey there Bo Beats- you are definitely going grey but so am I which is why I have to dye my hair now. Anyways, I use Elektron Octatrack with Analog 4 out to modular and other synths for beat making. Works great and can even sample live audio from old movie clips via Babyface RME to laptop and Octatrack. Here is a little tune I made this evening with my setup: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sK2epryrksyugIk.html Since there is a severe lack of Elektron MK2 tutorials on Octatrack I am creating a series on that topic.

But how many synths in BsPro? Its only two channels and the drum ch. How can you make a whole somg on it with bass drum piano synths samplings. Do you have to record two sounds on a PC. Save it on PC for example Ablton live then have the two channels on BSPro empty for another recording?

I have not done that much with BSP and eurorack. I have one or two videos where I use BSP+Eurorack. It works pretty well imo. Its a great sequencer for eurorack for the money for sure. But I don't know all the details.

@GearSplaining 6 жыл бұрын

BoBeats I need to get something. I'm getting dfam and I need to sync it to a fairly traditional midi rig. There's a converter but for $50 more I can get a bsp. Thing is, I don't really need it otherwise because I'm happy with my sequencer. But since I'll be getting it I want to understand what else it can do for dfam and how I can use it in alternate rig configs.
