Just wanted to say, Great job Arturia making all your controllers white! You've been promoting hand washing way before it was fashionable and important to every day life.

I will pay $100 more for a version of Keystep Pro with full size keys! The shortness of the minikeys really messes up all my muscle memory from practicing on pianos. When I play normally my fingers end up at the very top of the black keys and it's hard to press them down from the very top.

Hello,

I recently bought the KeyLab 88 MkII and I'm extremely satisfied with it as it combines most of the things I need for learning piano, composing, sampling etc... But I obviously can't travel everywhere with it so I started looking for a more portable keyboard with the features I'm using on the KeyLab, whilst also allowing myself to expand on my live playing and live sequencing learning. That's how I found out about the KeyStep Pro about which to have a couple questions :

-Is the integration with FL Studio possible and if so, where can I find more information about it ?
-As I like chopping up samples and finger-drumming to make Daft Punk or 2003 Kanye West style of music, can the step sequencer pads be mapped to sample chops or drum one shots using something like Serato Sample or a MPC emulation ?

-Lastly, can the Pitch, Gate, Velocity, Time Shift and Randomness rotative buttons/encoders be attributed to something else than their main function like to draw automations, adjust effects in the DAW, etc...

Thank you very much for your time

I’m having issues my key step pro is hooked up from midi in to out of my 101 I’m not getting any sounds from built in sequencer or sounds when I hit keys... but when I plug it from it’s out to in on my 101 I can play sound from mc101 on keys but can’t hear the key steps pro built in sequencer lines nor are the lights moving when song is played ?

Can MIDI signals be sent from USB and the MIDI sockets simultaneously?

It will be nice to add ability to play in "live mode" as a 5th virtual track. So you can play live (using keys) along with already recorded 4 tracks. "Live mode" could be activated by press again already selected track i.e. no tracks will be illuminated. In setting should be possible to assign to this virtual "live track" either specific midi channel or specific CV output (different than for tracks 1-4). All in all it is very nice tool to make music ❤

Hello i need a foot pedal to stop the transport. Any ideas in a foot switch or pedal to stop it?

[d_cl]

Can we finetune the pitches of every step to create atonal melodies ?

[dinogoldie]

Can the drum sequencer track host more than one device? Could I have multiple drum machines, on different MIDI channels, sharing the single sequencer track?

[twiglet]

I bought one to take to an audition for ballroom dancing because the brief was " Don't forget to bring your own sequins, sir

Can I put lights on the keystep pro and if I can what do I need to add lights to my

[LukeLendrum]

Hi Arturia,

Any plans to add the append to sequence feature from the vanilla keystep and "clear last step"?

[Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Appears Arturia doesn’t respond to question/ inquiries here.

[webncyber]

Question, can a tempo be stored with a pattern or scene? Or it’s just with in a project? I just wanted to know what options we might have if we want to change a tempo on a fly.

[PLASMA]

hi arturia!key step pro is amazing!however i cant find anywhere how to global transpose all the tracks from keystep pro or via external keyboard....is this feature available?this was a standard function at original keystep and bsp...thanks!

My Keystep Pro transport controls can't be synced with Ableton - care to make a video about it? The transport buttons (record, stop, play) and the 5 other knobs are not being active and being assigned to Ableton MIDI/Key mappings. The manual isn't helping either, and your last video on the subject is outdated (Beatstep Pro, 2015).

[yebrauenmorales]

hi there! i need your help arturia guys, i just bought the arturia keystep, but i cant sync the tempo of ableton with the keystep in order to run the sequence and the arp functions! i mean ableton as master and keystep as slave! please help me out!

[Heleno.]

If I have an instrument connected to each Keystpe Pro track, Keystep Pro allows me to trigger the four tracks and send sequences and play the four instruments simultaneously with its respective track, or I have to trigger each track and send its respective sequence one of each time.

[SamyKdj]

Hi, is it possible to send MIDI program changes from the Keystep Pro, to change the presets/sounds of the synths which are plugged in ?
