Sensacional, fantástico uma viagem para meus ouvidos… Muito obrigado pelo som!

[@paulriggs42]

Wow.... you make this look so simple.... great use of AUM and Keystep Pro..... I would love to see more !

[@tomfoolery4077]

I just ordered one the other day, really excited to get it in my hands. I love that there are so many features/tools at your hands, with minimal menu diving, just a shift button and you can really do a tonne. Sounded great BTW!!

[@MusicHands]

Really cool man, really like how you've filmed/edited this as well as the ambient sounds. Great work

[@WasabiNoise]

Thanks!

[@Maxarcc]

Lol I absolutely loved the fireworks animation you added when the popping and crackling came in. Happy accidents.

[@o0o0Benni0o0o]

Hey @WasabiNoise :) you can kindof record your Arp ... just press record, after recording switch to the Sequencer track ... there you gonna find your recorded ARP. Adjust the tracklength beforehand, otherwise youll just have the first 16 steps

[@WasabiNoise]

Thanks. When I recorded the video, I was using the latest firmware version and it didn’t have that option, I’m glad they added this, so cool. Thanks and hapoy recording too!!!

[@mattg1094]

@@WasabiNoise They added it because you mentioned it! :P

[@FRANKMSXDEMOSFORYOUANDME]

Omg,great work thanks for sharing awesome work thanks

[@Iain0101]

My Keystep 37 arrived this week. Holy crap. It opened a new door! Now I need the Pro!

[@pitfa1140]

awesome set up

[@SlavaChrome]

That is really cool!

[@hermannplatz]

You use like 8 different apps for this? Was it hard for you to get this track done or did you literally need like a few hours in two days? Would I be able to produce a similar synthwave track as a total rookie? Love your videos by the way.

[@K00LD00D]

Awesome sound!

[@BrandonRico]

NICE! Thanks for the Shout out. Good work bro

[@WasabiNoise]

No problem!!! 👍

[@cyborgmetropolis7652]

Awesome!

[@MargarethCrow]

Very cool! Love the extra puns in this video!! LOL

[@WasabiNoise]

Glad you liked it!

[@seansnyder7744]

I appreciate your approach to step sequencing the arpeggio manually, and then switching things up by muting different steps in the sequence. Just got my Arturia a month or so ago with a bunch of eurorack modules on the way. SUPER stoked to dive in. Curious what limitations a standard iPad has vs an iPad pro, at the very least I'm hoping to be able to use my iPad as an oscilloscope.

[@gibarian]

This is so cool

[@DanieleIppolito]

awesooome! 😎

[@WasabiNoise]

Thanks! You have awesome music on your channel too!

[@Messy_Jesse]

I need a new channel to watch and I like your music. You should test the deluge; op1, tracker, kdj one, beat thang, organelle, maschine + or the blackbox with the keystep pro.

[@GemsOnVHS]

this is really what i imagine doing on my keystep - about to buy one and begin the journey. are you recording directly into that h6?

[@rgbcn]

The Bach joke LMAO HAHAHA I didn’t expect that and made me laugh a lot!

[@WasabiNoise]

I was thinking of adding a necktie and a briefcase haha

[@rgbcn]

WasabiNoise LOL that’s hilarious

[@rezaassadpour7364]

😍

[@Vectorixx]

... and arturia finally realized to record the arpeggiator, happy end !?

[@artemis_the_bot]

Nice

[@WasabiNoise]

Thanks

[@NYTG]

The latest firmware update allows you to record the arp..

[@WasabiNoise]

I see they released firmware 2.0! I'll check it out, thanks for the heads up!

[@LaFleurLabs]

hello nice sound what is drum ? thank you

[@zeding8030]

Wonderful video!But I have some question.How do you connect keystep pro to your ipad pro and other devices.I see you have Zoom H6？Now i I connect them through a type c adapter and can be powered by usb.I want to know how to free loop instead of one button after another loop?Sorry so much question from me.Because I really amazing for ipad pro and keystep pro that can make compositions.

[@WasabiNoise]

I have an older iPad so it has a lightning port, with the usb-c you’ll need a powered usb-c hub but I don’t know which, maybe a forum/reddit would be better for the question. In my case I use the zoom h6 to record audio, it’s not connected to the iPad via usb.

[@payne0410]

So you connected to the iPad with the Camera Kit, but what are you using for sound output? Thanks.

[@WasabiNoise]

I used a powered USB hub with a Focusrite 2i4 and recorded the sound into a Zoom H6. From the Zoom I always have the line output to the camera, but it sounds really bad on the Sony 6500, so I record it on the Zoom and use the camera audio to sync it all up on Adobe Premiere. Hope that helps, thank you for the comment!

[@frankyr.8514]

DOES it work with Apple ipadpro and wich connection kit do we need thkx

[@WasabiNoise]

My iPad Pro 1st gen has a lightning connection so I need the Apple adapter for USB that also has power.!But it works just by connecting it to the iPad. At worst you would need to use the power adapter included in the Keystep in case the iPad Pro can’t power it just with the USB.

[@jdssurf]

I use Ableton, would the Beatstep Pro be good with the Keystep Pro, or should I pair it with something more like the Launchpad Pro?

[@WasabiNoise]

I guess it depends on your workflow. Beatstep and Keystep are good sequencers for jamming and making music live. I never had a launchpad pro but I like its note layout in 4ths, I love my Push 2 for that, makes working with any scale super easy.

[@jdssurf]

@@WasabiNoise so would a push along with keystep pro be a pretty awesome pair, or pointless, sry bro im newer, i want to jam live stuff but also create and write songs in ableton, im still learning workflow.....sooooooo lol..........what do you think

[@WasabiNoise]

Haha I don’t have an answer... I’d try not to buy a lot of things when starting out if you are just making music. I like the Push but I use maybe 10% of it’s potential. It’s a good idea to buy stuff when you know it’s purpose.... but hey, I also buy stuff that I’m not sure yet how it’s going to get used to see if it inspires me. Difficult question lol

[@jdssurf]

@@WasabiNoise well i have ableton lite and think im gonna stick with ableton. I have a Moog Werkstatt with CV I have a Neutron. Nice headphone amp. Scarlet 2i4 interface. 305 jbl monitors. 27 inch dual dell monitors. Pocket Operator Sub. Ipad. Pure Acid App. Regular Keystep. Alesis qs7 keyboard. Been playing around for awhile but i want to pick up the Keystep Pro and sell the regular Keystep. So once I get the Keystep Pro, Im trying to figure out what I will use for all my drumming to go with everything. Im a long time bass and guitar player, and keys.........just wanna get a propper electronic set up..............just wanna pair something reputable with the Keystep Pro for drumming and using with ableton too. If you come up with any ideas let me know.

[@WasabiNoise]

Got ya! I would check kzbin.info KZbin channel. She has some Push tips on making live music. She sequences the drums in the Push. So that would pair well with the Keystep Pro.
