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)
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??
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 :/
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?
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 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.
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.
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
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!
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.
Nice setup and great performance! I like the SH-01A filter sweeps at "Scoomma Doomma" ;-). Very interesting way of using the KeyStep to its full extent. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Nice, very nice piece! I also work without a DAW now, and just purchased a Keystep myself. I am very eager to start working with it. I am now motivated, Thanks.
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.
relistening again its so dope. I think I will try out what your doing myself .My keystep,D to Sh01a and maybe the D05 or something else. Thanks for the inspiration. Killer vibes
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?
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 :)
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?
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 😀 If you have the time and energy show us a more complex set-up with 3-4 sound modules. Too bad the Keystep can't send Seq and Arp at the same time... Nice tune, BTW.
I don't know why TH-cam suggest me your video but - I see it till the end. Reminds me of some nice 80 stuff ( vangelis ). Suggest a DJ mixer for cuing - and searching throu pattern;)
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?
Hi 80s Man, yes - it shows it in the video: th-cam.com/video/DljRDAgPYpQ/w-d-xo.html ... you ca select the KBD PLAY MIDI channel by holding down the 2 buttons + selecting the key with the corresponding MIDI channel.
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.
Scoomma Doomma......I just sold my Keystep because I could not figure out how to make it work! I am from the analog school and have 2 record albums out there but this little thing got the best of me! I watched videos on it and read the manual and still could not get it to do what I wanted it to!!!!!!!! Dammit, because I do like it.
Hi george smith! Thanks so much for watching! That's a shame you sold it - they are really cool controllers. If you ever get one again, feel free to pop on back here and ask questions! :)
@@ranzee Hi Ranzee! probably a noob issue but please ;) can't figure out how to sync ableton with the keystep.... like hitting play and keystep running. My digitakt is running but nothing happens on the keystep sequencer. I have a digitakt midi out to a thru box sending midi to various synths, to my focusrite and to the keystep. keystep is midi in and din on midi. Thanks a lot!!! :)
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.
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....
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
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.
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 ;)
Can you please do a step-by-step on the beatstep pro how to set it up with the Korg voclas what do you need extra to set them up the beatstep Pro and what cables do you need extra
Hi! I recently brought a keystep and I’m having trouble with setting it up. I’ve finished downloading the MIDI control center and trying to update the firmware. If it’s possible please make a video of updating the firmware and how to start playing.
Hi Taiki, I'm fairly sure there are already videos on TH-cam 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.
ranzee Thx mate. How do I set that up. Spent all last night searching google and TH-cam for an answer. Trying to sequence my Neutron over cv and play my Micromonsta over midi, but I just keep getting doubles on everything Cheers
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
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.
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.

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).
ranzee ahh! Sorry watching in a tiny phone didn’t see the info bubbles. Thanks for the reply! My problem is I’m trying to use the key step for 2 Volcas which only have midi in. I’ll have to figure something out!
I'll amend it to say "all controlled by the keystep" - the ARP on the SH-01A is played on the Keystep - you play an ARP, there's no keyboard on my SH-01A ... the only keyboard I'm playing is the Keystep. BTW - I don't know if you know this, but you can actually play the sequencer and the ARP at the same time on the SH-01A ... you'll have a field day with that one I'm sure.
hi MP MI, thanks so much for the feedback. Talking about the setup & connections is still on the cards for a future video. However, this video was all music - something we all need to do more of :)
