The 2S sequencer is ace. This vid just scratches the surface. Definitely recommend the 2S over the 2. You can always plug in a MIDI keyboard to play it too.
Arturia the number one factor that has persuaded me to buy new gear has been UA-cam videos showing the features and functionality. I’m sure I’m not alone. You can’t over do UA-cam.
dude i have one of these on loan from my friend because i didnt have a sequencer at this time for my modular but i had no idea this was actually such a powerful synthesizer
Hi! Great video! Could you tell me if you can use the Keystèp or other keyboard to insert notes (step rec or realtime rec) into 2S sequencer? Thanks a lot!
Wish there was a way to see the note by pressing the button or shift function to see note of each step for quick recall of what note was played instead of moving a knob to change the note to see what note was played. My biggest pet peeve so far is that. The reaction of the sequencer in realtime mode seems to miss the first note. If we checked your work here in this video I wouldn't be surprised if the first note you played into the sequence wasn't exactly on the first note. yes do make more tutorial videos on this synth. when I was trying to think of way to combine shift and buttons to press to lock in a setting on the sequencer to then be allowed to select any button to view notes; does that feature exist, am I rambling?
Many thx for the video. But how do you deal with the chords, the scales, the modes (Aeolian, Myxolidian..). If I want to use the Aeolian mode on the C key, how do I do ? Are the keys locked/muted accordingly ?
Hi! To be honest I don't remember how to change the root note but I know you can do it, in Scale mode, each wrong note will be shifted to the nearest note within the current scale. If you need help with your synth, I suggest you to get in touch with our support team with this link: www.arturia.com/support/askforhelp I’m sure they will be able to help you :) Best regards.
Direly in need of episode 5 to really grasp how to use tracks 3 and 4 as second pitch and gate tracks. Can I enter that second pitch track using live recording? Doesn't sem to work. Also, how to use the per-step LFOs and envelopes . Also, how would I "build" myself a pitch wheel and be able to set the range like on the keyboard version or Minibrute 1. I'm thinking this would somehow be done with an attenuator but not sure
@@SpeccyMan thank you for your remark! Voor de ene is het niet altijd makkelijk om zich in een andere taal perfect uit te drukken, et l'autre maîtrise aussi bien la langue qu'il le considère nécessaire de faire des remarques stupides. Therefor, I will not correct it so others can learn from my mistake.
Monsieur Arturia, could we have in a software update: 1. Triplets time division 2. a gate setting resolution if 5 or 10 increments instead of 100 ? And a way to set the same gate for all steps with a single knob? Also a way to preview what note we're on in step rec & play without having to change it one semitone and back?
I would like to incorporate this into a dj set, is there a way i can ensure that the sequences i play remain in a specific musical key? Sorry ive never used a synth before!
to change the key: push the transpose button at the bottom right and then choose the note at the left.... Before composing, you can also store your own scales: shift+user and choose the notes of your scale... pushing the 'chain' button + playing the note you want is quicker :-)... The interest of personnal scale is when you turn the knob during 'live'
@@ArturiaOfficial it works fine with the internal oscillators but seems to malfunction when sequencing externally (acidlab m303) - is the slide/pitch parameter locked to the internal sequencer and not supposed to be used for external control like the beatstep? thank you for your help.
@@emilyschmanks As it's fully analog it should work with an external analog instrument. I suggest you to get in touch with our support team with this link: www.arturia.com/support/askforhelp I’m sure they will be able to help you :) Best regards.
Hey there, Here are the steps to follow to create a chain: - Press and hold the Chain button - Using the pads, select a pattern from the 16 that are available within the bank. It is not possible to create a chain from different banks. - Remember: pads that are blue contain data. Pads that are dark are empty. You can select empty patterns if you like; they'll simply play back a bar of silence. - You can use the same pattern more than once in a row; just press its pad again. - Continue pressing the pads in the order that you want them to appear within the Chain. You place up to 16 patterns into the Chain. - When you release the Chain button, a chain of patterns will have been created using the first 16 patterns that you entered.

THe 2s is a superb machine. your videos are also an enormous help. please do not stop.
Glad you find our videos helpful. We're trying our best to create content to help you make better music !
Very useful tutorials. Thank you. When are you going to provide the additional videos that you promised?

True, but you just as well could plug the Minibrute 2 into a PC with a sequencing app to sequence it.
@@RadicalCaveman Sure. If that is what you want to do.
Took long enough for more of these videos. I love them
We are doing our best to provide as much as we can ! Glad you love them !

Keep the videos coming on the 2S...it’s a fantastic synth and the videos are really helpful! Thanks Arturia! 👍😃
Fantastic videos!! I am excited for the next one.
So at 1:04 I was confused why the inputs from cutoff and amp are connected i assume this is just to disconnect the pre wiring?
Can real time only record in 4/4? Can't seem to change it or find any info in the pdf manual eg I want to record waltz
Excellent!
Arturia! Can we have CC Program change that changes the sequence? Thanks!

Where's Episode 5?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in replying, we released the 5th episode in February ua-cam.com/video/KOckQ5-1qO0/v-deo.html.
Best regards.
Hi’ may I connect it with an exteranl speaker as the marshall stanmore? Is there an outoput there? Tks
Bonjour, pas d’enregistrement en temps réel des mouvements de boutons ?
Ive just bought a peak and hope I can sequence it though the MB2S
Did it work? I want one for same reason

Hey Sebastian, how do I copy my 16 patterns in bank A to bank B?
"This will be covered in another video" × 3...
When will the next video's be published?
Maybe when you learn that plurals never contain apostrophes.

Can we have a video on how to send midi trough usb to the Minibrute 2? Can't seem to figure it out trough your software...
Hi!! how can i control it with minilab kII????

Hey! Where are the new episodes?
Does anyone know how to find the next tutorial he speaks of that goes further into the sequencer.
MUITO TOP!
I would like to incorporate this into a dj set, is there a way i can ensure that the sequences i play remain in a specific musical key? Sorry ive never used a synth before!
Control the seqeuences with midi or play the right notes. ;)

HOW DO I PROGRAM SLIDES I NEED TO MAKE ACID
Hi, in the sequencer you can press shift and turn the Pitch knob to create slides. I hope it helps :)

Here are the steps to follow to create a chain:
- Press and hold the Chain button
- Using the pads, select a pattern from the 16 that are available within the bank. It
is not possible to create a chain from different banks.

@@ArturiaOfficial thanks a lot!!
Why can't you play multi patterns at the same times like an electribe. This is too limited for us
Keep going Arturia with the hardware.
I am a bit conflicted since I can't find one legit cool sounding track made with this, it just guys modulating a basic sequence over and over.
That is in fact how electronic tracks are built, modulating looped sequences over time.
