Great tune. Also made me look into the Pill Pedal as I've not seen one before. Now I need to learn what 'ducking' is, as it is all this pedal does. Also looks like they have updated it recently.
Hey thanks Gareth! The Pill Pedal is quite simple to use (yet very effective 😉). It reacts like a sidechain compressor, that when it's triggered (by an audio or CV/gate signal), it reduces the volume of the sound. In this jam, I've connected the Nymphes synth in one input of the Pill and the SE-02 in the second input. The kick coming from the Drumbrute Impact is triggering the pedal. Hope this helps? (and yes they released a new version of the Pedal, where you can also trigger the pedal by touching the knobs with your finger for example, which lets you "play" the pedal 😃)

@@gregbeaudry Thanks for the support mate! Actually I don't really know any tutorials about the Keystep Pro (I haven't even read the manual entirely 😅). I already had an idea of how I wanted to use the KSP (I watched the videos from Arturia when the KSP came out). However I'd be happy to help if ever you have some specific questions on it 😉
This is really quite wonderful. Can you do a walk through of how you've set it all up? I just picked up a KSP but struggling to get everything connected.
Thanks for your comment Kevin! 😃 There are a few ways you can get things connected, in this jam I used my DAW as a MIDI hub (for practical reasons), where the instruments are connected to it by USB. However I could have done without the USB hub and used only 5-DIN MIDI cables and CV/Gate etc. I'd be happy to help if you can tell me a bit more about your setup, etc. 😉
That was just so good. Thank you for directing me there. So each track can do 16 sequences and you are using sequence 1 on track 1 and 3 but not all 64 steps. Also using tack 1 in drum mode. Also all done with midi and not the cv gates/ triggers etc...that makes things easier. Am I right so far? Sold my Nymphes ( what a prat) but I do have a Behringer Pro vs mini which is polyphonic and gives out a good sound for its price. How can I buy you a coffee or send you a little something for helping me out. You know what you are doing so I am like a rabbit with the ears up listening and taking what I can In. Thank you.
Hey thanks! You are totally right 👍👍 In Arturia's vocabulary, the "sequences" are called "patterns", and indeed, each track contains 16 patterns which can be from 1 step to 64 steps long 😉). Thanks so much for your generosity, but I really created this channel to share with other music lovers 🤗 If you have some time just leave me some feedback on some of my videos, it's always a pleasure having your thoughts 😀 You can see all my videos featuring the KSP here: th-cam.com/play/PLgx3SGU9Zq72f6e2kTe5wBPFfCmGNxDdw.html&si=bRLHirtZa8vJ601F
That was brilliant! I am considering buying a Keystep Pro myself but I am still a bit at a loss with midi connectivity...the Drumbrute goes to the clock output, but what about the other three synths? Could you explain how you connect the three of them via midi to the Keystep? Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! There are a couple of ways you can control other synths with the KSP. If you are in the analog world, the KSP has Gate/CV connections, you then have 2 MIDI OUTs which can theorically be used to control 32 (2 x 16 MIDI channels) instruments, using MIDI thru. Actually here, I used the KSP's USB and a USB MIDI hub (my DAW) to control on different MIDI channels the 3 instruments. Hope that helps? 😉
Great video! I only have the keystep 37, (which is not a knock against it) but I was wondering if I can connect my drumbrute impact to my 37 and have the 37 control it? If so, how would I connect them? Thanks.
Thanks! 😉 I think the best way to control your Drumbrute is to use the MIDI OUT of your Keystep 37 into the MIDI IN of the Drumbrute (by the way, with "control" do you mean playing the sound of each track of the Drumbrute with the keys of the the Keystep 37 or syncing the Drumbrute's clock to the Keystep 37 internal sequencer for example?)
@@2MinuteWarning Yeah, i would like to play each drum sound with the keys on the 37. I know it sounds totally foreign to do that, but I like to try different things, ya know?! With that, how would I make a beat, just keep the 37 on sequencer mode, record a beat and then hit play, I presume? Then I can still twiddle the knobs on the impact to change sound parameters and even switch midi channels and do something with my monologue, in keyboard play mode?! Thanks for your help, means a lot!
@@TheGreatPanicker Ok I think I see 😉 So you'd prefer use the sequencer of the Keystep 37 to sequence the drum sounds on the Drumbrute rather than the Drumbrute's sequencer? (I don't really know if the sequencer of the Keystep 37 can do that, but on the Keystep Pro it's surely possible) Otherwise, may be you can use it in a hybrid way, where you could set the Drumbrute in real-time recording mode, then play on the keys of the Keystep and it will record the notes into the Drumbrute's sequencer? Also you can of course change the MIDI channel on your Keystep to switch from the Drumbrute to another instrument like the Monologue.
How did you turn off the sequencer auto-play from the Roland JU-06A when you press play on the Keystep? Everytime i starting midi, my Juno starts his sequencer 😬
I don't really remember for this jam in particular, but you have the possibility to set the MIDI CLock Source of the JU-06A to internal for example (instead of Auto, MID or USB). By doing so, the JU-06A's sequencer won't start when you hit start on an external sequencer to which it is hooked to by MIDI 😉 (you have to hold down ARPEGGIO to get into the menu, and press [3] and set the MIDI Clock Source on INT for example)
Hi, thanks for the comment! The Drumbute Impact has a very particular sound which I can understand might not please everyone. I wanted to use it for the groove, especially when triggering the ducking pedal 😉
hell yeah we would!
Thanks for the feedback mate! 😉
Really loved the real-time transposition! Inspiring setup, great sounds, excellent music!
Thanks a lot Jay! 🙏 (I think that "transpose within scale" is a very cool feature that should be implemented in more sequencers 😉)
