Arturia Keystep / 37 / Pro. Who has one?

[Críoch]

Thats interesting about the pro. Not the first person I've seen saying some of those exact same things man. Thanks for that. Hard to believe tbh

37 looks like a decent buy.. Still like the multi channel setup of the pro. Might hold off a bit longer & see how the updates go. All the feedback seems to be pointing that way

i know right... I was in the market for a sequencer and I was between the eurorack Hermod Sequencer by Squarp and the KeyStep Pro. I found the KeyStep Pro easily here in Brazil at the time and the Hermod I'd have to wait the overseas shipping plus a huge chance to pay a hefty amount of tax duties, so I went for the KSP.

Only to discover that two months later a german friend of mine moved to Brazil and was selling locally his Hermod for much less than the retail price...

Anyway, having said all that: I have plenty of fun with the KSP. It's definitely an immediate sequencer, easy to use, not much of a learning curve, it's all simple there and it's really useful to have it in my studio, you can do a lot with it. But it definitely could be improved in the firmware department.

Okay it seems like i fixed it

But you're keeping the solution to yourself?

Reading back over this thread.. Mad, can totally remember reading this reply at the time & doing a bit of nose-sniggering.

Ive the same reaction today. Still funny!

OK..

Arturia appear to have been busy AF on a 2.0 update for the KSP & initial reports re: bugfixes / requested features etc.. seem to be what was required to make the thing function properly.

Anyone here get to dl the 2.0 yet & can give an opinion on the before vs. the after?

Is that just an update for the pro?
Been really pleased with my 37

[Críoch]

Yep. Just KSP AFAIK

I got it, for me everything I had as a complaint was solved and some other things improved in a great way. Just remember to restore to factory defaults after the update or it's gonna be buggy. But for me this upgrade brought this machine to a whole other level.

[Críoch]

Cheers man! That's super helpful to know. Appreciate it

[orchard]

Ah, fair enough. Cheers.

[Críoch]

Maybe you'll be next.

Any major glitches you're hating with it? From what I've read, tHe KSP needed this update badly.

Keystep 37 here. I was more impressed by the mini form factor and rugged build quality for a midi keyboard. However, its been sitting in my closet after just one use. Keeping it though just in case I need a basic keyboard ever, but never has happened once. I got excited to see it had CV outs the other day but then was let down by the fact I couldn't separate the gate and pitch into separate tracks (I think 37 only allows for one sequence, pro allows for up to 4). Ended up ordering a CV.OCD for what I want to do.

Just a thought, and particularly useful for anybody concerned about the space the KSP takes up, you could try the Twisted Electrons Crazy 8 Sequencer. 4 polyphonic tracks, 4 CV/Gate tracks and clock sync, so quite similar, but really small.

Wow, that looks cool.. but I need a little midi keyboard too. Tbf, c8 is packed with features. They'll sell a load!

Well it kind of has a keyboard.

[Críoch]

Don't sweat it, just sold mine.

Ironically enough, to get a KSP.
