[@seanhenriques808]

Always enjoy this guys demos. Sold!

[@ashaember2049]

I could totally see pairing this thing up with Tracktor's Remix Decks to sequence beats. Very cool!

[@charlesflint9048]

Thanks!, I got one recently and am just now attempting to get it connected to a new MacBook Pro.

How did it go?

[@malcolmbliss777]

Huge fan! I love mine!

[@homesnake202]

I have a beatstep pro and I’m having a hell of a hard time getting it to work with my iPad. Someone please help!!!

[@dancassidy7471]

Will sweetwater help me utilize this as a volume controller for the boss RC 600 both purchased from Brendan Murphy?

[@pocojoyo]

Sweetwater Sound You say that the pads midi assignment can be changed with each preset. Can the knobs be changed with each preset too ?

[@DopamineOverload]

Can the Beatstep be used with beatmaking ipad apps? Beatmaker 3, etc? Thanks!

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Chris! The short answer is that it will work as a MIDI controller with BeatMaker 3, but it will require a pretty extensive setup. This video explains how to set it up with another controller, but all the same info will apply to the pads on the BeatStep: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGrclIqYYqx0kJY Thanks for the interest!

[@djdeep6545]

can you use this with the Novation launch control app for IOS and can I use sample on my laptop with BeatStep?

[@WideOpenChange]

Will this connect the ipad to your PC DAW (via audio interface/USB) and send the MIDI tracks as MIDI?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, WideOpenChange! The Arturia Beatstep is not officially supported for use with an iPad. I do not follow your second question, but you may find the answer within the quick start guide: www.arturia.com/support/beatstepproquickstart If not, do please give us a call! Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1766, [e-mail]

[@astroxdragon4991]

could you connect it with a phone?

[@sweetwater]

Hello! You cannot connect the Arturia Beatstep to a phone, it won't run or control an audio app. You'd want to either connect this to a computer running a DAW software, or to a hardware synthesizer via MIDI or CV. If you'd like to go into more detail, please call my number below. Thanks for your interest! Nick LaMendola, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1660, [e-mail]

I'd push this product with a microbrute instead of an ipad.

[@ashaember2049]

That would be a nice demo to see, but considering this is Sweetwater's avenue for showing off cool new gadgets you can use with iOS gear, the iPad makes sense. Who knows, maybe Daniel Fisher will do something with this.

What app does he use on the iPad?

[@billfusionenterprise]

he was using standard synth aps, the biggest issue with some controllers is power so having a power hub may a good idea. The best app to try out different controllers is gadjet, put it in advance midi mode and be amazed what you can do

[@theonenonlycloud]

His sharp nails are bugging me. Don't scrape the pads bro lol. Cool machine though.

[@mariobauer73]

what a horrible set up of presentation!!!

[@DieMasterMonkey]

wtf mitch put on weight watch that blood pressure man!

[@gkillmaster]

excellent and helpful vid. Can you possible assign XY CC control data using the pads?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Greg! Thanks for the interest. There's no XY functionality on the Beatstep, but you can assign any of the pads to toggle between two values on any MIDI CC #. For more details, take a look at Arturia's user manual here: downloads.arturia.com/products/beatstep/manual/BeatStep_Manual_1_0_1_EN.pdf Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!
