The deeper I delve into Stepic, the more I have the deepest respect for the creator of this sophisticated and awesomely useful tool. A great presentation too!

[@devicemeister]

That's a great feedback. Thank you, I really appreciate it. Glad you like the course so far👍

[@DSWL_]

Jon always gives the the most comprehensive tutorials 🙌

[@devicemeister]

And the best part is, there are 4 more episodes to come.🚀

@@devicemeisterAwesome Sauce. 🎹♥️

[@ronnyb5890]

wauw, thanx Jon, i didnt know stapic was so powerful, makes random arps and ostinato's so much easier, cheers m8

[@marcotronic]

Excellent tutorial. I can see already that I have been using a fraction of what Stepic is able to do. And this is even just the beginning 😊

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Rewatching this video now and now realizing how I would use the hold feature. It’ll definitely come in handy while programming patterns. 🎹💙

[@scubabrit8865]

Fantastic tutorial for the "Epic Stepic". Thank you Devicemeister and Jon Audio. Quick, concise and informative to get us comfortable and up and running using Stepic. Truly excellent

[@devicemeister]

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We really appreciate it.❤️

[@petermican]

Great presentation, shows clearly what gem this sequencer is, thanks for sharing ... love and BIG fan of ALL presentations from Jon Audio ...

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

It’s my pleasure to support your channel. I’ve liked, commented, and subscribed 🎹♥️

[@devicemeister]

Thanks for your support! ❤

[@shomm_music]

Stepic is a great Tool, i use it in almost every track plus its gets better and better substantially. Cool that you work with Martin Stürtzer, Signs of Life and Jon Audio now, really appreciate it!

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Meanwhile, while some folks are raving about how cool seqund is, I’m drooling over this, and have decided to purchase it, mainly because of your videos. Thank you so much. 🎹♥️

[@brianmi40]

Yeah, this paired with Stochas will make a powerful pair...

[@mjusick42]

I love Stepic and your educational tutorial videos. Really well explained without any unnecessary nonsense. And I think videos without a face in a circle are great anyway, I think it's just distracting anyway. 😉

[@j.r.fernandez2453]

SUPER tutorials!! This is an amazing tool and the folks that built it are nothing short of GENIUS! They've thought of everything. I've just purchased it and will be grooving with it in no time, thanks to your tutorials!

[@NigelMerrick]

What a great tutorial. I wish so many other tutorials out there were as clear and concise as these. Stepic looks like a truly amazing VST, and you're doing a wonderful job of showing off what it's really capable of. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

[@devicemeister]

Thank you for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the course.

[@amado7760]

Stepic is awesome !!!

[@devicemeister]

You're awesome!

[@davidkempmail]

Boom 💥 🎶 🖤

[@vbtheremin9650]

Very convenient and flexible tool! I use it in Ableton ̣̣̣̣̣̣(Stepic for Live) - it’s some kind of holiday! Thank you very much for Stepic!❤

[@devicemeister]

Thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear you have some free time and can enjoy Stepic. 🎶

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Looking forward to seeing more videos on modulation features with this awesome plugin. 🎹♥️

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Thank you, definitely learned a lot in this one. The fact that drag and drop is not only easy, but powerful, makes this plugin more desirable than many others, and the price…I’m getting this, no two ways about it, and I’ve checked out several others. 🎹♥️

[@moontan91]

very well made tutorials, thanks! : )

[@DrKairo]

awesome tutorial. So many things to explore! From next week on i will combine stepic with the complete phase-plant-system. The infinite playground!

[@devicemeister]

That sounds like a ton of fun! If you're into wild stuff, you can connect Stepic's 8 automation sequencers to Phase Plant's 8 macro knobs.Things really kick off from there.🚀Feel free to check out the Stepic video by Dash Glitch on his channel.

[@DrKairo]

I know, lots of things to learn from Dash Glitch (and it is always a good experience to watch his tutorials) @@devicemeister

[@Pilzhirn]

Awesome - looking forward to the next part of the series 🙂

[@devicemeister]

The next part is coming out this week. Stay tuned!

[@itinerantghost]

Learned a lot on this one. Keep 'em coming!

[@Maplefoxx-vl2ew]

ohhh, dragging the midi to save your randomized pattern is a good option, cool, thanks for the little video too. seems like i mostly understand this now.

[@mrtinacrispoti]

Thank you!

Great thanks🤩

[@Strontium90UserX]

Great tutorial. Thank you for putting it together

[@devicemeister]

Thanks for your feedback! You're welcome.

[@Strontium90UserX]

@@devicemeister I also wanted to suggest after the slides maybe you could add a ratchet function. Then you got everybody beat all in one.😎

[@devicemeister]

@@Strontium90UserX Stepic has ratcheting. Please take a look at the Divider section. If you want to learn more about Divider, please watch episode 3 of this tutorial, chapter Divider.

[@Strontium90UserX]

@@devicemeister Excellent. Thank you😎

Nice! Thank you for first tutorial

[@wizard6916]

This is so cool! Thank you much for this tutorial!

[@jimpietkivitch4798]

Great tutorials this far. I was curious if Stepic can import midi files. I have existing midi sequences that would be nice to import.

[@devicemeister]

Currently you can not import MIDI. But that feature is on the feature wishlist, and it's possible that it might find its way into Stepic in the future. I think that would be fantastic.

[@VentureNW]

This is great! Is there going to be any more parts to this?

[@devicemeister]

This course consists of a total of 6 parts. All the features of Stepic are covered. The next part will be released in a few days. If you don't want to miss it, make sure you've subscribed to our channel.👍

[@f_stop]

I would love to have a presets section so I can build a huge library of sequences.

[@devicemeister]

Sometimes wishes do come true, and Christmas isn't far off either.

[@f_stop]

@@devicemeister Sounds promising :)

[@nuuality]

Exactly what I needed...now I know how powerful this device is! I only have one question. Could you point out the benefits of the m4l version of stepic. I work in Ableton and bought the VST version. Maybe I miss something if I only work with the VST?

[@devicemeister]

If you have the Live Suite and Max-for-Live, then the M4L version of Stepic is the way to go. As a MIDI effect, it can be loaded on the same track as your synth plugin or hardware device. Moreover, with the M4L version, you can directly automate all Live stock devices, such as Wavetable, Operator, and all other Live plugins. I saw that you sent us an email, and I've already responded to it. We'll find a solution for your license.👍

[@nuuality]

@@devicemeister thank you for your fast response here and via Email! The solution you offered is showing that you're one of the "good" developers who's intention is the customer, not only the money! Thank you

[@grahamsherlock4904]

Really enjoy playing with Stepic, is there any plans for an IOS version?

[@devicemeister]

Currently not. But I wouldn't rule it out for the future. It would be awesome to have Stepic on the iPad.🔥

[@chrismi008]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials! What if I would like to export Midi data for pattern 1, 3, 4 and 5 at the same time (as you have programmed it). Is this possible?

[@devicemeister]

Hi, with Stepic, you can only export the current/active pattern via drag & drop. If you want to export multiple patterns, select them and then do the drag & drop export. After that, you can assemble the MIDI in the arrangement of your DAW as you wish.

[@bahramshamloo]

Tanks👍. I use several patterns in LOGIC but every time I replay the project, the Stepic doesn't go to the first pattern and continues on the last pattern where it stopped. How can you start from the first pattern every time?

[@devicemeister]

With Stepic, you can't set it to start at a specific pattern every time the transport starts. However, you can use MIDI notes from the DAW to control Stepic to jump to any pattern at certain points in the arrangement or MIDI clips. This allows you to realize a song mode with Stepic. Use the MIDI mapping function for this. Part 5 of this tutorial describes the function.

[@levinsonl]

can stepic do 303 like slides?

[@devicemeister]

Hi, Stepic can't do 303 slides in its current state. But the feature is planned for a future update. So stay tuned! 🚀

[@levinsonl]

@@devicemeister exciting, thank you!

[@astrofreq]

QUESTION: Stepic isn't syncing with Logic. It starts when I hold a key, but the bpm isn't the same. Where do I fix that so they play in time together? Thanks

[@devicemeister]

Hi, please go into the Global Settings (gear icon) and adjust the Sample Rate option to match your project's Sample Rate in Logic Pro. Then it should work. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to send us an email.

[@astrofreq]

Thank you! That did it!@@devicemeister

[@devicemeister]

@@astrofreqGreat!👍

[@varde6965]

A qucik question, if i use random on chord progression on 2 different instances, will the random hit the same notes as the 2nd layer?. i have one pad with stepic, and a 2nd pad that i want to hit the same chords.

[@devicemeister]

Hi, are you feeding one instance of Stepic into another? Please try to describe more precisely what you're aiming to achieve. I'm happy to help. You can also send us screenshots via email. That often helps a lot in understanding what a user wants to achieve.

[@txilibrist]

Two questions: Logic Pro In standard 4/4 time, Stepic always starts on the second beat. Why? Ableton Live 11 If we have a song that starts with the first pattern of 5 Stepic patterns, for example, if I stop the song at the third pattern and go back to the beginning of the song, Stepic continues from the third pattern. Shouldn't it return to the first starting pattern? Thanks

[@devicemeister]

Re 1: Hard to say from a distance. Please send us an email. We can then discuss the problem together and find a solution for it. Re. 2: Stepic doesn't have a built-in song mode. If you stop and restart the DAW, Stepic plays from the pattern where it currently stands. However, you can easily implement a song mode by either automating Stepic's pattern parameter via DAW automation or triggering pattern changes via MIDI notes and placing corresponding notes in your arrangement. This even works on a clip level. If you have further questions about this, I also offer you to send us an email. There I provide you with screenshots and more detailed guidance.

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Please forgive me for speaking out of turn, so to speak, as I don’t yet have this plugin, but I think to help with your issue, maybe consider dragging and dropping each sequence to where you want it in the timeline instead of depending on the plugin to change the way you want. 🎹♥️

[@ZappaBlues]

Drag and drop MIDI Export does not work with Ableton Live 11 Intro. I have the working two channel setup/

[@devicemeister]

Hi, the drag & drop MIDI export should work with any version of Live. If you send us an email, we would be happy to look into the issue for you. You can find our contact details in your purchase receipt email or on the Devicemeister homepage.

[@tomfoolery4077]

can you midi map the Hold Button and Mute Button?

[@devicemeister]

Currently that's only possible with the Max for Live version of Stepic.

[@matthewogorman8437]

Can you load and save patch presets in Stepic?

[@devicemeister]

Currently, Stepic doesn't offer preset function. Depending on your DAW, you can use its preset feature to save and recall Stepic's state. Implementing a preset function is high on the priority list. It's quite possible that this feature will be added to Stepic soon.

[@matthewogorman8437]

@@devicemeister Thanks for the update. I'm loving Stepic in my workflow, I've tested a few MIDI sequencer/generator plugins, and Stepic is certainly the best step sequencer style plugin I've used. The workflow is very quick and intuitive and the cost is reasonable. A preset function would be an awesome addition. Mainly for backing up patches and user created preset packs. Do you have a timeframe for when a preset function will be added to Stepic?

[@RenevolutionAccount]

Ich muss meine Frage leider auf Deutsch erklären: Funktioniert folgendes mit Stepic: Also, ich habe ein Keyboard mit 61 Tasten. Auf jeder Taste ist ein anderes Percussion-Sample gemappt (z.B. Conga) . Nun möchte ich, dass Stepic alle diese 61 Tasten in zufälliger Reihenfolge (Random) nacheinander abspielt in 1/16tel Geschwindigkeit. Es müssen alle 61 Tasten der Tastatur berücksichtigt werden. Und es darf immer nur 1 Sample abgespielt werden. Also nicht mehrere Samples gleichzeitig. Wenn möglich als Random Variante, aber stattdessen optional auch als Variante wo alle 61 Tasten chromatisch nacheinander abgespielt werden. Ist sowas mit Stepic möglich? Und wenn ja, wie? - Du kannst natürlich auch auf Englisch antworten, wenn es Dir lieber ist. Vielen Dank.

[@moontan91]

it's possible to do something similar if you randomize both the notes and octave rows. you can use all 12 notes in the Chromatic scale, plus 2 octaves above and below.

[@RenevolutionAccount]

@@moontan91 many thanks

[@devicemeister]

Ist das Keyboard auch gleichzeitig der Tonerzeuger? Momentan ist mir nicht ganz klar, was du genau erreichen möchtest und ob Stepic das kann. Schreib mir gerne Email an unsere Hauptkontaktadresse. Dann können wir das gemeinsam erörtern. Du findest sie auf der unserer Homepage. LG Jens

[@RenevolutionAccount]
