Part one of a two part series looking at the Pyramid's Settings for MIDI and Track Defaults.
Gear List: just the Squarp Pyramid, some glow in the dark Smiski to keep it company. (amzn.to/2zRMPut)

Great video. Thanks. Very helpful to see what options exist in the settings and I agree with your choice of config. Very flexible little box. Just what I need. Have just bought a MK2 used.

Really appreciate how much work you put into the set of these videos! It looks incredible.

New to this sequencer and it is FRUSTRATING to use because it has so many features and so many shift functions needed to access them. I do love the feature set but the learning curve is steep for writing whole songs. I have v. 3.21 and I think it may have a few bugs unless it is my lack of know-how. sometimes Hard rec for instance, does not replace recorded notes on a track sometimes

Thank you Olivier..

[@bubabubu6088]

Thanks for this video!

[@StevenSclafani]

I love your clips, so helpful and informative. Now where can I get those spiffy encoder knobs?

[@OlivierOzoux]

These are either ChromaCaps or CoolorCaps, I forget which. I think the pyramid ones were from Chroma Caps store.djtechtools.com/products/chroma-caps-knobs-and-faders

[@StevenSclafani]

Thanks for getting back to me Olivier. Found the caps.

[@robotboot]

thanks for the video. music is a bit to hight in the mix and can not here your voice tho. makes it hard to follow.

[@OlivierOzoux]

+Robotboot i agree this was my first voice-over experiment and it’s definitely not as easy as all of these CZcamsrs make it seem. Also I think I was subconsciously trying to bury my voice...

[@robotboot]

ha yeah i get ya. video and song are great tho. I have been trying to dive into the pyramid and figure it out.

[@fabbroubauba6685]

thnak you for refreshing the audience of starting points!!
just to say: music of background is a slide too high... sometimes can't perceive your words

[@kisho2679]

Can the step sequence be entered via an external midi keyboard controller?

[@OlivierOzoux]

Yes, that’s the way I use it all the time, use the controller to play the note or chord, then stamp it on the step or steps you want. I find it makes for a really fast workflow

[@kisho2679]

@@OlivierOzoux is there a way to set it up, so that it proceeds from step to step after each key-press on the external midi-controller?

[@OlivierOzoux]

@@kisho2679 no, but unless the only music you make is 303 style basslines, I find the pyramid way works really well.
