How are you not on Arturia's payroll? Suffice it to say your knowledge and capacity for practical communication benefits Arturia immensely. Thank you kindly for the time, effort, and resources that go into creating such valuable content.
Just remembered I had this saved, referenced a few things, and had the best jam on my synth in ages. I usually make ambient textures with lots of chaotic modulation, which can be really hard to make sound pleasant and not a jumbled muddy mess. THANK YOU so much! This is by far the best tutorial video on the BSP. Just gotta build up the muscle memory by using it more. I could never have something so powerful and easy to play in Eurorack, and I love my synth time not looking at a computer monitor. Just knobs, cables, and my BSP.
It is the best artria tutorial on UA-cam. Even Arturias' itself were not effort to prepare detailed "how to" videos like this. I watch their videos but did not satisfied. Thank You to this simple and good explaination.
Would love to see a video on connecting it to different CV sources, etc. Maybe with different euro rock modules. Just to get a feel for different ways it can be used. I will be using this for Drums at all. It’s more to sequence and create patterns and movement.
Oh, my god, 01:54 -- I had no idea the lights were coloured according to the track! Never fully grasped what they were trying to tell me when Chan is held down! Will be watching the rest, thank you
Magnificent! I've watched quite a few UA-cam tutorials for the Beatstep Pro recently and this one is BY FAR the best. I feel like I can finally make some progress with it now. Thank you sir and please keep up the good work.
This is the tutorial I've been waiting for. So many tricks that I've never heard or read about before. I often wonder if the Korg SQ-64 might not have been a better option (notably because of its polyphonic ability), but all your tips make me want to explore the BSP more. 👌
Had a similar concern, then went and read user reviews. 😬 Ended up getting the KeyStep to pair with it. Couldn’t believe I managed to find the black ones. 🤗
Thank you so much for this! I bought the device about a year ago, but just completed this video today, making notes along the way. I'm excited to reconstruct songs I've written on guitar by using this with my synths.
Best Beatstep video ever amazing explanation and detail, probably you could complement this video with another one explaning how to setup different DAWS with BeatStep, There is no clean explanation about it anywhere! Thanks in advance!
Thanks a lot for this walk-through - really great stuff. Ive been looking for videos on how to connect it and use it with the op-1. do you have a video for that or know of a video? I can't find anything proper for it that isn't just a demo of them playing. thanks a lot!
Thank you very much for this comprehensive tutorial! I intend to use the BSPro as a main sequencer for my Euroack and really struggled to operate it the way I wanted it to. Now I can, thanks to you!
Yessss! I found your K2 and Model D videos very helpful. And this video came at the perfect time for me. Im going to attempt to use this with a modular setup. I'll wait til I watch the whole video before I ask questions or make requests. Thanks again! Your videos are so helpful! I definitely owe you a couple coffees. Im a premium member so I hope that helps in some way when I watch, like and subscribe to your videos.
Hello Fernando, thanks a lot for this EXCELLENT tutorial. I'm using BSP since one year, so I consider I "master" it, however they're useful tricks, in particular PRST LINK (I don't understand why Arturia doesn't name it "PATT. LINK" instead!) I regret these things concerning BeatStep Pro: - Pattern isn't automatically saved (when edit, a "dot" follow pattern number), so if you change pattern, previously edited pattern(s) is/are lost if not saved! - Need to press/hold multiple buttons at the same time (3, sometimes 4), is a pain! - The "reset to factory" process is just ridiculous (and too long). - The ON/OFF switch is too small. - Velocities on pads (you must press very hard on them to obtain a high velocity). Except weak points described above, this hardware is perfect. I'm using it mainly from Bitwig Studio 4/5, and VCV Rack 2.
Great tutorial, thank you. A connectivity video would be massively helpful and hugely appreciated. I have a Microfreak, Roland Aira J-6 and a Volca Sample 2 (and possibly Koala Sampler too) and I'd like to control them all from the BSP.
Alot has changed as far as making the beatstep pro work with logic pro X ver.10.7.7; For example there is not check box for remixer anymore; can you do a video on how to properly make the two interact? Thank you very much of your time! :)
thanks a bunch for this video! gave me a good understanding of the device. really wish you would have demonstrated the gate outs with a eurorack setup, but its fine. ya done good, son.
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL WORK! Thank you Sir! Any deep dive for Jupiter-XM in the future? It's a mothership dashboard level of complication and we desperately need some breakdown 😂
This video its a whole Bible!!!! Thank you so much for your time and care, i just get the Beatstep pro for my volcas and this deep dive makes so easy to understand for a begginer controller user. If you sell this video to download i’ll buy it eyes closed. It cant be lost on the internet. Thanks again!!
@@XNBeatsMusic Ultra esfuerzo! realmente es un video que no lo encontrás en ningún lado con tanto lujo de detalle, muchas gracias por compartirlo! dejé el like y me suscribí a tu canal! Yo doy clases en la facultad, usare parte de este video para mostrar a los alumnos! Saludos!!!
My favourite bit of kit ….If not for this I’d never be able to use some of my bits and pieces because their sequencing involves to much menu diving, also you covered everything..!!
This is outstanding. Thank you so much, I already had a pretty good grasp on my BSP, but I learned heaps, and I'm even more excited about getting a KSP to go with it, now! I need a little poly action!
Thanks !!! Well I would love to, but every machine you see here I bought it with my own money. And that one, Akai force, it's quite expensive and so far you are the only one that requested it :S I would like to cover that machine, but there is no budget for it. Sorry for that.
@@XNBeatsMusic I understand your situation very well. I actually live in Paris (France). If you are living in France or in Europe, I can send you my Akai Force to make your in depth tuto. I don’t need it during the 6 next weeks and I think it will be enough for your tuto! If you take more time, no worry! It’s up to you! I really enjoyed your Wavestate manual and for shure your Force one will benefit a lot to the users of the machine. So I’d borrow you my gear with pleasure!
Thank you so much for this. I have been floundering a bit and this will really help. Have you done or thought about doing a dive on the SQ-64? That one is giving me even more trouble.
Hi excellent video thank you. Quick question. If I wanted to hook up my arturia keystep to the beatstep and record sequences through the keystep onto the beat step is this possible? Thank you
Super clear and deep tutorial ❤ I still struggle with something.. let’s say I made a sequence, sounds good, but what should be my 1sr step, is for exemple, my 6th step. Is there a way to transpose the sequence left or right so the sequence starts where I want?
Hi! you filled a large gap on YT no one covers all the features of such a complex seq. Can i have a question? is there a way to record the transposition? example: i record a simple 64step arpegio, copy it to a new track, than transpose it 4 times to create a cycle of arpegiated chords, and have the cycle stored on the track to switch it with the first one on the fly.
1:32:00 roller. Why did Arturia bury the roller function with shift and step 9 while in control mode? They seem to make very capable devices that are unintuitive to use. 😐 Arturia made the looper function work the wrong way round. Surely it makes more sense to hold the timing button then press the drum sound (like the KO2). Oh well. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hey bro it’s amazing video thx a lot.. I have been looking for the hardware step sequnecer like this.. it can be worked with cubase right? my wave samples can be worked on this with my sampler vst instrument like battery or etc? I dont understand process of this stuff completely yet, beatstep work with its vsti plugin? or just work to send midi signal with step controller?
Hello ! Tell me, please, is it possible to combine several different chains into one song, so as not to switch manually? For example: I have sequencer sequence number 1: 1-2-3-4 which repeats 4 times, then 5-6-7-8 (4 times) followed by 9-10-11-12 (2 times). It is necessary that these events occur one after another, without my intervention.
I can sync through midi the drumbrute impact and the drum all ok, but with the mini freak i try and i cant sync just with arp or secuence plays but not in the panel, so i dont know what to do... help
You can only have one midi channel (1 to 16) on each of the 2 sequence tracks and the drum track. If you want to layer sounds from the sequence tracks with additional modules you need to either daisy chain them or buy a thru box. Just make sure the midi channel on your sequence tracks match the module you want to layer. There isn’t a way to split a sequence and have more than one midi channel on it.
Great video! Helps a lot. Can someone answer on one question? I use BSP with Behringer K2 (Korg MS-20 clone) and have a problem: transposing doesn't work with this synth. At the same time with dreadbox typhon and vst synths this function is working correct. Help me please (
How are you not on Arturia's payroll? Suffice it to say your knowledge and capacity for practical communication benefits Arturia immensely. Thank you kindly for the time, effort, and resources that go into creating such valuable content.
haha , I would be happy just getting the hardware to cover it. Not interested to be in their payroll. Thanks for the comment
July 2024 - I'm new to the game with my new BeatstepPro... Bro, you are a legend, thx for showing us this little machine :)
Me trying to sell gear I think I don't want and then XNB proceeds with a complete guide walkthrough and then I change my mind. 😅
Haha, Its great, for the money the unit still holds up. The keystep pro is much powerful, but you don't get the pads and it's big
Exactly the same thing happened to me lol
Right there with you
I can agree with you 😂
Happens to me all the time. Just shows that we need to dig a lot deeper into the gear that we do have.
well this saved me from reading a 130 page manual, thanks so much
I read the whole thing, it was intense. Took me weeks!

Wow, i just got mine in the mail, talk about perfect timing. Thanks XNB!
I knew you were getting one so I had to make a video :) thanks for the comment
I can only repeat what's been stated many times before - I've learned so much watching this and a sincere 'thank you'. Marvellous stuff!
I have a beatstep pro, and this is the video I've been looking for! Thanks!
Excellent job: very informative, but not too dense.
Can I just say, your toturial and smooth way of explaning is far better than the actual page of Arturia. You are fantastic. Thank you.
superb tutorial my friend ,very clear and helped me immediately get into my new BSP,thankyou
Magnificent! I've watched quite a few UA-cam tutorials for the Beatstep Pro recently and this one is BY FAR the best.

I got both. I find the BSP much better to come up with basslines and melodies.
Had a similar concern, then went and read user reviews. 😬
Ended up getting the KeyStep to pair with it.
Couldn’t believe I managed to find the black ones. 🤗

Just bought a BSP secondhand - your video has got me started right away. Sub'd. Thanks a lot. Now need to plug in my PicoIII 👍👍
Just purchased .. this video is exactly what I needed…thank you
Has no idea I could copy patterns. Also, choosing the looping region is new to me. Thank you
haha thanks for the comment. All arturia gear has tiny tricks.
I really really like your deep tutorials! Best teacher!
Please show use how to connect different devices

Thank you for taking the time for this in depth tutorial, I have just bought one of these of eBay and look forward to going deep with it
Another one on my to get list. Wish I had the money to keep up with all these tutorials 😂
haha me too brother.
This is a powerfull piece of gear and I have never once regretted purchasing it. I love the fact it has CV.
Just got mine. Very excited to learn and I'm so thankful for all your amazing tutorials!

Thank you! Have had it 2 years now i know how to use it!
Thanks, I just got a Beatstep Pro and your guide is just perfect. Its also updated so I'm glad I found this :)
I just got one of these in a trade for an item that cost me $150 CAD. Saying I'm ecstatic is an understatement. What a gold mine of sequencing magic.
