This is absolutely brilliant it deserves to be played everywhere it’s not often I come across a piece of new music that is really good -I would pay for this

[@bramd_]

Hi Ranzee, nice trick! The missing piece in your description (or i overlooked it): keep Shift + Kbd Play button pressed on the Keystep and select the appropriate Keyboard Midi CH.( if you only press Shift + Midi channel the sequencer plays over that channel as well)

[@ranzee]

Hi Bram, yes that's right. Thanks for watching.

[@promethiousb1489]

Allo,,this doesnt work when i try,,i change midi channel and the sequence plays over that.Quite frustrating really.Is there a firmware update i have missed maybe??

[@driverv86]

This saved my ass so hard.

[@robertwinkler8640]

Never thought of using the second play mode to run an external arpeggiator simultaneously. Have a JP-8080, gotta try it now. So simple and logical when you think about it. Brilliant.

Hi Robert, thanks - it is a great little controller. Thanks for your support!

Scooooma Dooooooma! Very cool! I'm slowly learning how to use my keystep with the model D. I have a Pro-1 on the way. I'm getting gear faster than I can learn how to use it all.

Hi :) I think the Keystep will go well with the Behringer Pro-1 - best of luck with it :)

Brilliant! I can't wait for mine to be delivered!

[@ranzee]

Hi Silent Fabrik _Joël_ thanks so much! Hope you have lots of fun with yours.

[@ranzee]

Hey everyone! Something new and cool - I've done a little Jam to show how to get the most out of your KeyStep! You'll see me use the Sequencer (keystep) and ARP (SH-01A) at the same time (a great feature). Hope you like it - everything was a bit improv :/

[@woodswalker88]

youtube wouldn't let me add a comment so here it is. Sounds nice, but how are you sending MIDI Out from ONE midi socket to 2 instruments? And what channel is the Keystep set on?

[@ranzee]

Hi Laura! Thanks for the question. The Keystep sends the sequence out to the Boog Model D via MIDI channel 1 and Kbd Ply to the SH-01A via MIDI channel 2. They are hooked up via MIDI DIN cable as follows: MIDI OUT from the Keystep to MIDI IN on the Boss DD-500 (to get the midi clock delay timing sync) - MIDI OUT of that to MIDI IN on the Boog Model D, then MIDI OUT of that to MIDI IN on the SH-01A. Hope this makes sense :) Let me know if you need anything more :)

[@DuJuanSylvester]

I just got mine and tried. When setting the midi Channel to 2 on the KeyStep the sequence moves as well as the kbd play. What am I missing?

[@ranzee]

@@DuJuanSylvester 1) make sure you're all up-to-date on the firmware ... 2) it sounds like you're not properly in KBD Play mode - make sure you hold down shift and hit the Oct+ (Kbd Pay) button ... once you're in that mode you can set the MIDI channel via SHIFT + note corresponding to number written above it.

[@DuJuanSylvester]

ranzee thanks so much for your quick reply! I found it was shift kbydplay and new channel at the same time. Thanks again

[@Stevali1966]

That's a real nice piece of music. The lead voice reminds me of Jean Michel Jarre. I never thought of using that feature kbd play. Owning to only recently acquiring the keystep.

[@ranzee]

Hi Stevali, thanks so much! My guess is you'll be trying this out very soon! :P

[@valdiskrebs566]

Scooma Dooma Ranzee! Nice demo. The Keystep and SH-01A are very versatile... you can also add another module (to take over the sequence) and send CV out from SH-01A to the D. Three sound modules all controlled by the Keystep! And once you add a MIDI Thru Box (or two) you can really go nuts ... if you have enough sound modules. 🤪

[@ranzee]

Hi Valdis! Yes, I could have - and I've actually done this - but for the purposes of showing the newbs, this works :P

This was fantastic! This may be a dumb question, but if you record audio with the zoom, how do you sync it up with video??

[@ranzee]

Great question! It was recorded on both the camera and Zoom - that way the audio tracks sync'd when you bring them into Premiere Pro to edit. You can then drop the camera audio and use the Zoom recording for a more pro finish!

Hi. Forgive my ignorance as I am new to all this. I have the Keystep 37 and Arturia Microfreak. Could I in theory, do what you are doing, just with one synth?

Hello! Just tried this with Ju06A and Model D. I can start sequence and send it to midi ch 1 but: when I change Midi channel (2), the sequence is switched to channel 2, even if “Kbd play” is active. Could you help me?

[@BobCorraro]

Just solved! Thanks anyway 🤣

[@LikeCarpenter]

Damn so amazing, I’m trying to save for a keystep & some synths

[@ltxr9973]

Wow, the only thing that could make the keystep's design even smarter would be if it could sequences. One for every key on its keyboard or something like that

[@ranzee]

Hi Lyks, do you mean like transposing the sequence? I can already do that. Or do you mean it triggers a different sequence on every key? You could quite easily do that too - but you'd need a DAW hooked up via USB/MIDI - and then you can assign MIDI clips to trigger based on a key pressed.

[@GrootsieTheDog]

Can’t get this work. I have keystep going into Peak Midi In Peak midi thru to Hydra midi in. As soon as I switch the midi Chanel the sequencer plays the the synth that is on that channel. Where am I going wrong? Peak is set to ch.1 hydra set to ch 2.

[@ranzee]

are you invoking KBD Play?

[@GrootsieTheDog]

@@ranzee Oops...ya, I figured it out not long after I posted this. Lol sometimes the simplest solution is overlooked because it's...so simple!

[@GrootsieTheDog]

@@ranzee I am invoking the synth lords! ...yes I am. I forgot I needed to press all three - the two buttons and the midi ch. 👍

[@retrophonics6265]

Hi Ranzee, Great video.... Question...I have a Boog Model D + Behringer Pro 1 & Keystep. I'm trying to seq one and play the other at same time but no success. If i have Boog on midi channel 1 and Pro 1 on midi channel 2, surely the keystep will only play the midi channel i set the keystep to? Will the Keystep play both synths simultaneously if they are only 2 different midi channels? Really appreciate your help.. I was thinking the only way i could sequence one and play the other was to buy a 2nd Keystep?

[@ranzee]

Hi 80s Man, yes - it shows it in the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep3Ng3d3nLWMprM ... you ca select the KBD PLAY MIDI channel by holding down the 2 buttons + selecting the key with the corresponding MIDI channel.

[@retrophonics6265]

@@ranzee thanks buddy...

[@Heleno.]

Congratulations on your performance and instructions. I'm thinking of buying a Keystep. I have some doubts: 1 - How many devices can be connected to it? Can I record different sequences and send to each device and they play their respective sequence? 3 - Can the time and the order to play the sequences on each device be programmed? Thank you.

[@ranzee]

Hi Heleno, I would suggest the KeyStep Pro - as you seem to be wanting multiple sequences controlling multiple machines - that is what the Pro is for.

[@TPsynth]

Hi. I am trying to do this but the Keystep seems to be sending the sequence on all midi channels. Is there a setting in the Keystep that needs to be changed so that sequence plays on ch1 and Kbd play is on ch2? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@TPsynth]

Hey, nevermind I found Bram Donkers comment with the solution. Thanks again for the great vid.

[@ranzee]

Shift + MIDI Channel (corresponding keyboard note) is how you set the sequencer MIDI channel. Kbd play is set by holding Shift + Kbd Play + MIDI channel.

[@TPsynth]

@@ranzee Thank you, got it going with my Roland SE-02 and M-VS1, having a blast.

[@TinselKoala]

scooma dooma ! Can't you patch the KeyStep's Mod output on the back panel over to the Roland's VCF filter cutoff or resonance and then use the mod strip on the keystep for really cool effects.... or to the Model D's VCF cutoff....

[@ranzee]

Hi TinselKoala - most probably! I haven't tried. Do you want to give it a go and let me know how it works out?

[@ApesOnDaLooze]

Are you limited to just 2 channels or can you use the sequencer, arp, and live play all at once?

[@ranzee]

Hi Joe, It sends it out on a specific MIDI channel - but there's ways you can "catch all" using other third party devices. So yes and no is the answer ;)

Hi Taiki, I'm fairly sure there are already videos on KZbin on how to update the firmware on the KeyStep - as to "start playing" - well, you just ... start ... playing ;) There are heaps of viceos already on Keystep features and functions - my channel has a few to start with.

How do you switch between synths?

[@jc3drums916]

Shift + key to select MIDI channels.

[@djbowlz2128]

jC3drums thx! Sorry. I’m a noob. Can you do this with the key step and 2 synths alone? Or do you need to run it thru some sort of multi midi box?

[@ranzee]

Hey Handy Skratch! Thanks so much for your question. There's a setup video on my channel - if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you check that out. To give you a quick answer here - I show in the video how the connections are routed using MIDI through (daisy chain). Each device is set to its own channel. Then you'll see me set the MIDI channel at the start using SHIFT+key (the numbers are in blue above the keys).

[@djbowlz2128]
