HOLY S#%T. I have used BeatStep 2 years now with reaper. All stuff till 14:00 was something that I already knew but my brain exploded when you showed that "Learn" function.
I didn’t realize that I had watched this before until you hit play on the first bit into reaper. I’ve definitely heard that synth line before. You just accidentally created a super memorable main melody for a song.
Realearn is fantastic, isn't it? I am designing a control surface using Lemur in an old tablet and Realearn to program it. Sort of a 121 but for Reaper.
Kenny, I have a special request. Is there any chance you can figure out ReaTrak for us? I know I'm not the only person using Reaper with Melodyne, or Band In A Box. But what documentation there is is at best confusing and at worst wrong, and the "instructional" videos are useless. Help? Thanks!
I own Arturia Sparkle+Spark 2. I've often tried to record the VST's envelopes which trigger Spark's different functions, like switching banks and patterns, and controlling the touchpad which can be set to controlling the filter or several FX (like reversing a pattern live, or automatically stuttering a piece of the pattern (e.g., the first beat, or the first 1/8). But the recorded envelopes do not have the same effect when played. I think it's related to Reaper's management of VST's received envelope(s) data when recording. I think I remember seeing that there's a 100 ms delay ramp or so when moving/releasing a controler to record the data. Should I set that value to 0 ms?
How do i get my preferences to save FOREVER in halion 7 within reaper? I have a launchkey 49 and a small garagekey 37 mini. I want the mini to do chord shapes for me, which I can easily set with multitrack in halion however It resets to not binded everytime i reboot even if i save my project.
So this seems cool but i have a question about building a song or chord progression. If i make for instance a cool bassline with the arpeggiator....can it be triggered to automatically change along with the chords? Like if the song goes C-G-C-D...will the arpeggiated bassline also change with the chords or do i need to build a different arpeggio for each chord and build the track in reaper manually? I have seen on the keystep for instance the arpeggiator changes as the user is playing the keybed. Is this possible with the beatstep plus an external keyboard?
Hey Kenny' I'm having a problem. When I try to record using the sequencer, on a track in Reaper; it turns off the recording when I start the sequence using the arrow button. What am I doing wrong?I use the Beatstep
Most interfaces don’t have a connector for a controller (although Audiofuse does). Controllers use USB connectors, so it goes straight to one of your computer’s USB ports.

Just wait til the next video.
managed to watch 9 min of the video before ordering one for myself....
LOL
I'll probably be next. One minute in...🤣
I read this comment and it's already in my cart.
Glad I was not alone in my lack of self control. Looking forward to the next video on the topic, thanks for all the work you do Kenny.
I literally sold mine two years ago and just purchased a new one based on these videos.

Thank you very much for this video. It gives me great fun to operate the Reaper from the controller.
Kenny you are getting me in trouble with the wife. "What have you ordered now??" Nothing dear 🤣
This, every single time ;-)
I'm about to have that conversation 😂
😂❤
Bought this based on your thorough explanation of features and how to use them in Reaper.
Kenny: your tutorials are invaluable to me in so many ways and subjects. Hope you’ll do one on the Keystep Pro as well.
It should work pretty much the same way. The only difference would be that you should be able to assign the sequencers to different tracks.
If you're broke AF like me, you can actually do all this with your computer keyboard using reaper's virtual keyboard. And a few JS plugins to setup.
Which js plugins?
Excellent. I hope you do more hardware integrations for Reaper Kenny.
This channel is just amazing 🔥
My BeatStep just arrived yesterday. This must be a joke :) Thanks, Kenny!
Yippieee!! I have not be able to make my Beat Step work. Now i know what to do! Double thx!!!
Great video Kenny.
I love my BeatStep! Good video!
Excellent video just what I’ve been looking for. Thx
Great video Kenny, and I've seen these things go for around $50 used on ebay (or around $150 on Reverb 😜)
Nice vidéo as usual, you rocks !
I have my beatstep enabled in MIDI devices but it is not showing up in the track MIDI inputs?
Nevermind. I magically got it working.
I use mine as extra shortcut key with ReaLearn :P

Second that request!
is it possible to do triplets using Reaper's sequencer with the beatstep as the input device? Since the beatstep does not have triplet subdivisions

Thanks Kenny! A recomantation for a mini keyboard-controler wuld be usefull as well.
I chose this one because it's unique. There's about 100 mini keyboard controllers that I would assume work fairly well and the same.
hope another vid with Korg Nanokey Studio...
Thanks
Can you record it and then use tha Piano Roll of your to change (edit) note by noteof the recorded sequence?????

Did everything exactly as shown, but cannot get sound AT ALL from the Beatstep. I can see the signal, but no output.
Bring on Video 2!
Do u have a issue with jumping values on knobs in ctrl mode? Have had two models of BS and same problem on each one😢

Pretty good price for all that does.
Does the drum track auto quantize via the BeatStep, or do you have to do it manually afterwards?
was wondering as well if the Beatstep or Reaper does the quantising!
Hi Kenny, Is there a step-by-step tutorial to download on the internet to control the Reaper and the VST drum machines ? (Mapping) Thank you
I want one
👍👍👏👏
Hey Kenny' I'm having a problem. When I try to record using the sequencer, on a track in Reaper; it turns off the recording when I start the sequence using the arrow button. What am I doing wrong?I use the Beatstep
are you connected usb or midi via cable and audio interface?
What sound of Vital is that?
👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
is this directly plugged in to the computer or still needs to be connected to an audio interface?
Most interfaces don’t have a connector for a controller (although Audiofuse does). Controllers use USB connectors, so it goes straight to one of your computer’s USB ports.
Kenny sound east coast as fuck
Is reaper a plug-in for ableton?
