Great device and very helpful video. Sometimes it is difficult for me to follow a certain youtube tutorials because I am visually impaired and cannot see when someone points at something and only says something like: as you can see, this, there etc. You explained everything so clearly that I could learn everything while simply having this keyboard in front of me. Thank you. :) I think this simple little sequencer will turn out to be useful lots of times.
I Use maschine as main "daw" just purchased the keystep32. All I figured out so far is how to send midi. Any idea on how to map more functions like rate nob arp ect ect?
Hi. Do you know if we can sequencer the “save a prayer” arpeggio with this keyboard, controlling another one and not to cut the arpeggio between both banks? Thanks for the video!
So... did I get this wrong or do you need a midi input cable to get the sync out of the daw into the keystep? Because I can't for the live of me get it to work on usb mode, can't use it as sequencer/arp without using the internal switch at the back of the keystep
Came here to see if there was a solution for this, just scoured the internet looking for a fix as I got a Keystep 37 delivered today. Really happy with the feel of the keys, but like yourself - having MEGA trouble trying to get Ableton working as the master clock sync. Surely this shouldn't be this crappy a problem. Did you ever manage to fix it? Would love to hear back if you had any solution on this.
I have a question that I asked a lot of people and Channel on TH-cam but nobody answers me. Can we do more complex patterns than just quarter notes or eighth notes etc.? Example My measure is 1 half note, 2 eighth notes, 3 dotted eighth notes and 4 sixteenth notes. Is it possible ?
I can use this as a normal piano/ eKeyboard, right? I have a minimal space in my room and I don't live in my own country, then I think this one is perfect.
Hmm... I have to press an awful lot more buttons on my Keystep to get it to play an arpeggio. Perhaps it was a function of being inside Ableton (I don’t own a pc).
Seems this thing's more useful when plugged into hardware for sequencing? With a DAW it's just any old MIDI keyboard, with slightly nicer mini keys to be fair.
Yes, it definitely excels when connected to hardware. A lot of the MIDI keyboards in this range trade-off features with each other, be it rotary knobs, drums pads, mod wheels etc. In the case of the KeyStep, the gain is in the sequencer and solid hardware connectivity whilst being very well built and nice to play.
Cool video, I needed a new small MIDI keyboard and the Keystep is perfect for my needs. I do have one issue, and that's the fact I can't get one in black. I kept seeing people with black ones but I've discovered they were a limited edition. I think they should have made them all black, and white as the limited edition. I've actually done some market research, and out of 4 people I asked, 3 of them preferred black, the other said white but was discounted as they thought I meant a computer keyboard.
@@dayonfire1 Unfortunately I'm in England. I often see things in the states that I want but the shipping is too expensive. I ended up having to go with white.
i just boguht one, but when i use it with vst instruments like arturia colecction, just like you in ableton, is not working properly, the arp is not in time, is not sync with the tempo of the track, and yes it is set up well in preferences and in the backside, i chose usb, can you please help me?
Here are a couple things to check: If the KeyStep seems to be running at the correct BPM but not hitting quite on the beat, it could be worth checking your latency compensation settings for the KeyStep. Another thing to note is that the sync output will only be sent from Ableton when the project in Ableton is playing.
No fear! There's always a solution to these problems. For me, I was trying to use it out of the box to control a hardware synth. I had the dipswitches on the back set to the wrong setting. In my case, I was using the keyboard as the control for the synth, which means the keyboard is using the internal clock. Both dipswitches need to be in the down position for this setup, so if you want to control the dreadbox by itself to test the keyboard, try both switches in the down position. If you are working with a DAW, you'll need to adjust the dipswitches differently, but the exact setting depends on how you're using it as a controller for Ableton. Try putting them both in the up position for ableton control and let me know if any of this works.
@@JacobVBurg thanks bro i want to use it to control synths not daw, so dipswitchs down noted. I dont own one yet idnsay in 3 weeks or somSalute Jacob 🤙

I asked in the fog vs haze video but do you know of any fog machines that the smoke dissapears in around 10 seconds?

@@GetintheMix thank you so much
Just got my Keystep and your video is helping me. Thanks for making this!
a tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
3:48 gate and swing mode (arp)
4:57 chord mode
6:08 sequencer mode (pre-program)
6:55 build your own sequence
7:29 rest func in sequencer
8:39 shift to navigate sequences

hi guys! Can i play on it like an ordinary midi keyboard if synced to my host? Everytime when i loop it goes to arpegiator or sequence mode. Thanks!
I was going to buy the korg microKeys but this has arp and sequencer for about same price! Great video thanks for sharing

I wish you had demonstrated with hardware too but a good a video. Many thanks.

Check the switches on the back

I just picked one of these up. Great tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
how it goes bro? imma bout to buy one in few days.
@@taviimihaimsc It's a good board for my mobile setup. Admittedly, I'm not using all of the features.

The keyboard itself does not make any sound on it's own, it needs to be connected to the computer with a virtual instrument loaded or a synthesizer.

i cant set up my arp functions on my keystep via ableton, can u tell me how?

exactly. have fun plugging frooty loops into your modular nerd gear
That is unless you set this as master clock.
Please keep making videos on this!
Very cool, thanks!
works with m1 Mac?
What kind of music equipment is used in the video?
In this video is Ableton Live 10, Maschine Mikro MK3, KRK Rokit 7 G4's, M-Audio AV42's and of course the Arturia Keystep :)
@@GetintheMix Thank you! :)
my is not working. arp and sequence wont work.
