Here's a long overdue video-based-love letter/demo on why I think the Keystep is one of the most danged inspiring, most musical products I've tried in years.
Please support me on Patreon if you Enjoy these vids!
⚡ / mylarmelodies ⚡
Gear used in the video:
• Arturia Keystep x 2 (There’s a number of features not shown in this to be clear, for example you can change gate lengths in real time, and when I’m doing the KBD Play bit - noodling on top of a playing sequence - you can send on a different MIDI channel! And of course there’s an arpeggiator in there too - and you can have up to 8 melodies saved in memory at any time, and flick between them)
• Roland Juno 60 (modded with Tubbutec Juno 66 mod so it has MIDI now)
• Yamaha DX7 MKI
• Karp Odyssey Module White
• Arturia DrumBrute, run through the Elektron Analog Heat for additional drive
• Eventide H3000S for reverb

Thank you good sir. "On paper you just won't get it". Totally agree. I've almost lost faith in my ability to understand the written text. I've been using Keystep for several month now and only today came across this video. After the first minute I've poused it, turned on the KeyStep and instantly came up with 3-part 2 minute piano madness. Man, this is the best tutorial ever! None of the others has ever opened a wider horizon for me. Except for Pianote lesson on diatonic chords, maybe.

Okay, was thinking about getting a big synth next with a 61 keyboard attached, but now gonna buy the desktop version instead. The price difference is 100 which is roughly the amount i need for a KeyStep - and good to see KeyStep also has a chord mode, which was the only reason to consider the the non-desktop version. Lovely!

Great video. I have had a Keystep for a while and I love it. My favourite small keyboard. I had always used the rest/append/clear last more as editing tooling, but of course they make the Keystep the basis for a remarkable improvisation instrument. And you can pick one up for less than a ton. Outrageous!

You are my favorite person in the synth world on RU-vid, your great walk throughs and enthusiasm comes through on your videos and it makes me excited about making music too. Great video as always. I was considering getting rid of my keystep but I believe I just haven't used it to it's potential. Oddly when I've connected CV to my Odyssey, the Odyssey sometimes randomly stops working, but I don't have the problem with midi. I haven't used other gear input to the CV on Odyssey so I'm not sure if it's the keystep or the Odyssey, but midi works great on it. I'll have to investigate further, but I'm definitely going to use the sequencer on the keystep more now.

Another VERY exciting feature that, i think, you didn't mention is that the sequencer can send MIDI to a *different* channel than the "Keyboard Play" - so you can have an instrument playing, saying, the bassline, and another instrument to jam ! awesome
@kemasolar
@kemasolar Год назад
how?

I answer myself for future: hold shift+"oct+"+the channel that you want to jam in, and then play. sequence will keep in the old MIDI channel
