For more improvising, you can change the MIDI channel to control a different synth and "solo" on that channel while the sequencer continues the original channel and rhythm. great tips and "hacks". thanks!
@fillentropy65194 жыл бұрын
I have a korg M3R and you can use combis to play drums on MIDI channel one and switch the keystep to keyboard play (shift OCT+) and choose MIDI CH 2-16 and play any instrument in the combi while the sequencer plays the drum part. good stuff for a little $100 controller.

My sync out was playing clicks every 1/16 per beat which is almost impossible to record to. In case anyone else has this issue you can open MIDI Control Center and change "Sync Clock IN/OUT Settings" From 1 step (Clock) to 1 pulse (korg) and it switches it to 1/8 clicks like in the video. Great Video. THANKS!!!

Partly due to the limitations you mention and solve here, partly because it was simply not self-explanatory and I was too lazy to look it up in the manual... Once you get it, it's super simple and convenient. Otherwise you don't even notice there is such a feature inside the Keystep :D

Be careful using the sync out directly into a speaker or amp. Sync voltage is generally 5 volts, audio amplifiers are usually expecting a maximum peak-to-peak signal of 2 volts. You could damage your speakers or amplifier like this. You could easily reduce the voltage to safe levels with a simple voltage divider or a few diodes in series if you have the possibility to solder a couple of components together. At any rate, I wouldn't recommend playing the sync signal on your favorite bluetooth speaker or a hi-fi system; earbud headphones will probably be damaged immediately.

That was a very helpful video and thank you. Good thinking re the snc out to a device for metronome. When I read the user manual and discovered we have to press a number of keys together to ERASE...the keys bear no resemblence to erasure. With a bit if forthought Arturia could have done this by hitting the SHIFT button and then the ERASE button! It should not have been that difficult to have designed the thing ti be user friendly. Shift is normally the one to hit first before anything is erased. Of course this is not your fault. Excellent work and thank you.

Hi - So I've got everything syncing perfectly, the transport starts all the gear....BUT....I have one issue that I can't find a solution for - When I press PAUSE or STOP on the Keystep, ALL the clocks in the synths go back to their internal clocks instead of being controlled by the Keystep. When I press PLAY again, the clocks go back to syncing to the Keystep. So put simply, the Keystep is only sending clock when the PLAY button is pushed. Is there a way to avoid that?
@truedanbo4 жыл бұрын
Maybe you can check the midi control center software for options like Transport settings : Play/pause. If that doesn't work, check whether your synth setting has sync option to switch to MIDI/sync instead of internal clock?
