Arturia BeatStep Pro Controller Dynamic Performance Sequencer

Product Information

BeatStep Pro features three independent step sequencers and a set of general purpose MIDI controllers. Having to chain 'scenes' together and not being able to even save those chains from one session to the next was kinda stupid. For post-performance editing, the 16 numbered rotaries correspond to the matching step numbers, and adjust things like the note of each step, Shift (nudging notes slightly off the timing grid), Velocity (effectively step volume) and Gate (the length of the note). I am still fairly new to this step sequencer way of making my songs but I hope to continue to improve. BeatStep Pro is designed to integrate into your setup very easily and features a raft of connectivity including USB, MIDI in/out, CV/Gate, Clock in/out, which means that it can accommodate any type of studio setup.

So, yes the fix is, third party cable, cut the end off and get the soldering iron out to fix the usb socket issue.Both melodic sequencers provide three 1/8" jack connectors : Two CV outputs for Pitch and Velocity, as well as a Gate output. Absolutely amazing, condensed, well built, triple sequencer: Analog and software sequencing separately or at the same time. From the requisite hand-wired boutique pieces of the ‘50s and early ‘60s, to the large format commercial consoles that followed, and then right into the modern project-style studio,. While the Beatstep Pro can rightfully claim to be a MIDI controller and step sequencer, the emphasis is firmly on the latter.

They’re well–spaced for finger–performing and arranged into two rows so correlation with the encoders is obvious. In this mode, each of the 16 knobs send out MIDI continuous controller information while the pads send note messages. As if all this were not enough, Arturia added a number of performance effects such as a looper with touch strip, randomizer, swing settings and other hands on control possibilities that are sure to make this a modern classic.
