How are you not on Arturia's payroll? Suffice it to say your knowledge and capacity for practical communication benefits Arturia immensely. Thank you kindly for the time, effort, and resources that go into creating such valuable content.
It is the best artria tutorial on CZcams. Even Arturias' itself were not effort to prepare detailed "how to" videos like this. I watch their videos but did not satisfied. Thank You to this simple and good explaination.
Oh, my god, 01:54 -- I had no idea the lights were coloured according to the track! Never fully grasped what they were trying to tell me when Chan is held down! Will be watching the rest, thank you
Magnificent! I've watched quite a few CZcams tutorials for the Beatstep Pro recently and this one is BY FAR the best. I feel like I can finally make some progress with it now. Thank you sir and please keep up the good work.
This is the tutorial I've been waiting for. So many tricks that I've never heard or read about before. I often wonder if the Korg SQ-64 might not have been a better option (notably because of its polyphonic ability), but all your tips make me want to explore the BSP more. 👌
Had a similar concern, then went and read user reviews. 😬 Ended up getting the KeyStep to pair with it. Couldn’t believe I managed to find the black ones. 🤗
Thank you so much for this! I bought the device about a year ago, but just completed this video today, making notes along the way. I'm excited to reconstruct songs I've written on guitar by using this with my synths.
Would love to see a video on connecting it to different CV sources, etc. Maybe with different euro rock modules. Just to get a feel for different ways it can be used. I will be using this for Drums at all. It’s more to sequence and create patterns and movement.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive tutorial! I intend to use the BSPro as a main sequencer for my Euroack and really struggled to operate it the way I wanted it to. Now I can, thanks to you!
Best Beatstep video ever amazing explanation and detail, probably you could complement this video with another one explaning how to setup different DAWS with BeatStep, There is no clean explanation about it anywhere! Thanks in advance!
Hello Fernando, thanks a lot for this EXCELLENT tutorial. I'm using BSP since one year, so I consider I "master" it, however they're useful tricks, in particular PRST LINK (I don't understand why Arturia doesn't name it "PATT. LINK" instead!) I regret these things concerning BeatStep Pro: - Pattern isn't automatically saved (when edit, a "dot" follow pattern number), so if you change pattern, previously edited pattern(s) is/are lost if not saved! - Need to press/hold multiple buttons at the same time (3, sometimes 4), is a pain! - The "reset to factory" process is just ridiculous (and too long). - The ON/OFF switch is too small. - Velocities on pads (you must press very hard on them to obtain a high velocity). Except weak points described above, this hardware is perfect. I'm using it mainly from Bitwig Studio 4/5, and VCV Rack 2.
Yessss! I found your K2 and Model D videos very helpful. And this video came at the perfect time for me. Im going to attempt to use this with a modular setup. I'll wait til I watch the whole video before I ask questions or make requests. Thanks again! Your videos are so helpful! I definitely owe you a couple coffees. Im a premium member so I hope that helps in some way when I watch, like and subscribe to your videos.
This video its a whole Bible!!!! Thank you so much for your time and care, i just get the Beatstep pro for my volcas and this deep dive makes so easy to understand for a begginer controller user. If you sell this video to download i’ll buy it eyes closed. It cant be lost on the internet. Thanks again!!
Great tutorial, thank you. A connectivity video would be massively helpful and hugely appreciated. I have a Microfreak, Roland Aira J-6 and a Volca Sample 2 (and possibly Koala Sampler too) and I'd like to control them all from the BSP.
@@XNBeatsMusic Ultra esfuerzo! realmente es un video que no lo encontrás en ningún lado con tanto lujo de detalle, muchas gracias por compartirlo! dejé el like y me suscribí a tu canal! Yo doy clases en la facultad, usare parte de este video para mostrar a los alumnos! Saludos!!!
Thanks a lot for this walk-through - really great stuff. Ive been looking for videos on how to connect it and use it with the op-1. do you have a video for that or know of a video? I can't find anything proper for it that isn't just a demo of them playing. thanks a lot!
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL WORK! Thank you Sir! Any deep dive for Jupiter-XM in the future? It's a mothership dashboard level of complication and we desperately need some breakdown 😂
My favourite bit of kit ….If not for this I’d never be able to use some of my bits and pieces because their sequencing involves to much menu diving, also you covered everything..!!
thanks a bunch for this video! gave me a good understanding of the device. really wish you would have demonstrated the gate outs with a eurorack setup, but its fine. ya done good, son.
This is outstanding. Thank you so much, I already had a pretty good grasp on my BSP, but I learned heaps, and I'm even more excited about getting a KSP to go with it, now! I need a little poly action!
Alot has changed as far as making the beatstep pro work with logic pro X ver.10.7.7; For example there is not check box for remixer anymore; can you do a video on how to properly make the two interact? Thank you very much of your time! :)
Thanks !!! Well I would love to, but every machine you see here I bought it with my own money. And that one, Akai force, it's quite expensive and so far you are the only one that requested it :S I would like to cover that machine, but there is no budget for it. Sorry for that.
@@XNBeatsMusic I understand your situation very well. I actually live in Paris (France). If you are living in France or in Europe, I can send you my Akai Force to make your in depth tuto. I don’t need it during the 6 next weeks and I think it will be enough for your tuto! If you take more time, no worry! It’s up to you! I really enjoyed your Wavestate manual and for shure your Force one will benefit a lot to the users of the machine. So I’d borrow you my gear with pleasure!
Thank you so much for this. I have been floundering a bit and this will really help. Have you done or thought about doing a dive on the SQ-64? That one is giving me even more trouble.
Hi! you filled a large gap on YT no one covers all the features of such a complex seq. Can i have a question? is there a way to record the transposition? example: i record a simple 64step arpegio, copy it to a new track, than transpose it 4 times to create a cycle of arpegiated chords, and have the cycle stored on the track to switch it with the first one on the fly.
Hi excellent video thank you. Quick question. If I wanted to hook up my arturia keystep to the beatstep and record sequences through the keystep onto the beat step is this possible? Thank you
Super clear and deep tutorial ❤ I still struggle with something.. let’s say I made a sequence, sounds good, but what should be my 1sr step, is for exemple, my 6th step. Is there a way to transpose the sequence left or right so the sequence starts where I want?
please could you share the Bitwig BSP controller script? or tell us how to use it? I had huge issues with it and just gave up some months ago and the controller has been collecting dust since :( sorry if you mention this somewhere in the video, I only saw some 20 mins so far also EDIT: 0:55 oh God yes please for the love of Jesus, do a video solely on on connecting this controller to eurorack and DAW.. analog gear too :) I am just on the verge of selling this after some 9 months of failing
hey dude. Well the video is not doing so great right now. Look me up on FB or Instagram, maybe we can fix it together. All off this as recorded with bitwig as host.
@@youlemur The thing is that the script you have, works fine, it has flaws. The other way is a Driven by Moss, the flexi script where you map everything yourself. But you will need to do a lot of work to configure it the way you want, is super custom but great. czcams.com/video/jfaEY-AMaNk/video.html
1:32:00 roller. Why did Arturia bury the roller function with shift and step 9 while in control mode? They seem to make very capable devices that are unintuitive to use. 😐 Arturia made the looper function work the wrong way round. Surely it makes more sense to hold the timing button then press the drum sound (like the KO2). Oh well. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hello ! Tell me, please, is it possible to combine several different chains into one song, so as not to switch manually? For example: I have sequencer sequence number 1: 1-2-3-4 which repeats 4 times, then 5-6-7-8 (4 times) followed by 9-10-11-12 (2 times). It is necessary that these events occur one after another, without my intervention.
I can sync through midi the drumbrute impact and the drum all ok, but with the mini freak i try and i cant sync just with arp or secuence plays but not in the panel, so i dont know what to do... help
Great video! Helps a lot. Can someone answer on one question? I use BSP with Behringer K2 (Korg MS-20 clone) and have a problem: transposing doesn't work with this synth. At the same time with dreadbox typhon and vst synths this function is working correct. Help me please (
July 2024 - I'm new to the game with my new BeatstepPro... Bro, you are a legend, thx for showing us this little machine :)
How are you not on Arturia's payroll? Suffice it to say your knowledge and capacity for practical communication benefits Arturia immensely. Thank you kindly for the time, effort, and resources that go into creating such valuable content.
haha , I would be happy just getting the hardware to cover it. Not interested to be in their payroll. Thanks for the comment
well this saved me from reading a 130 page manual, thanks so much
I read the whole thing, it was intense. Took me weeks!
Me trying to sell gear I think I don't want and then XNB proceeds with a complete guide walkthrough and then I change my mind. 😅
Haha, Its great, for the money the unit still holds up. The keystep pro is much powerful, but you don't get the pads and it's big
Exactly the same thing happened to me lol
Right there with you
I can agree with you 😂
Happens to me all the time. Just shows that we need to dig a lot deeper into the gear that we do have.
It is the best artria tutorial on CZcams. Even Arturias' itself were not effort to prepare detailed "how to" videos like this. I watch their videos but did not satisfied. Thank You to this simple and good explaination.

I have a beatstep pro, and this is the video I've been looking for! Thanks!
Wow, i just got mine in the mail, talk about perfect timing. Thanks XNB!
I knew you were getting one so I had to make a video :) thanks for the comment
Can I just say, your toturial and smooth way of explaning is far better than the actual page of Arturia. You are fantastic. Thank you.
I can only repeat what's been stated many times before - I've learned so much watching this and a sincere 'thank you'. Marvellous stuff!
I can’t wait until my BeatStep gets here. I feel like I have a HUGE head start after watching this! Outstanding!
Magnificent! I've watched quite a few CZcams tutorials for the Beatstep Pro recently and this one is BY FAR the best.
I feel like I can finally make some progress with it now. Thank you sir and please keep up the good work.
superb tutorial my friend ,very clear and helped me immediately get into my new BSP,thankyou
Excellent job: very informative, but not too dense.
This is the tutorial I've been waiting for. So many tricks that I've never heard or read about before. I often wonder if the Korg SQ-64 might not have been a better option (notably because of its polyphonic ability), but all your tips make me want to explore the BSP more. 👌
I got both. I find the BSP much better to come up with basslines and melodies.
Had a similar concern, then went and read user reviews. 😬
Ended up getting the KeyStep to pair with it.
Couldn’t believe I managed to find the black ones. 🤗
Thank you so much for this! I bought the device about a year ago, but just completed this video today, making notes along the way. I'm excited to reconstruct songs I've written on guitar by using this with my synths.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Just bought a BSP secondhand - your video has got me started right away. Sub'd. Thanks a lot. Now need to plug in my PicoIII 👍👍
Just purchased .. this video is exactly what I needed…thank you
Would love to see a video on connecting it to different CV sources, etc. Maybe with different euro rock modules. Just to get a feel for different ways it can be used. I will be using this for Drums at all. It’s more to sequence and create patterns and movement.
I really really like your deep tutorials! Best teacher!
Sad that the Beastep doesn't have non quantised recording..
Thanks for the video man. Just bought my BSP and this helped a lot! Big ups
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment !!
Just excellent! I own the Beatstep pro , i've watched many many videos but today i learned a lot of new things. Thanks
Just got mine. Very excited to learn and I'm so thankful for all your amazing tutorials!
Thank you for taking the time for this in depth tutorial, I have just bought one of these of eBay and look forward to going deep with it
I just got one of these in a trade for an item that cost me $150 CAD. Saying I'm ecstatic is an understatement. What a gold mine of sequencing magic.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive tutorial! I intend to use the BSPro as a main sequencer for my Euroack and really struggled to operate it the way I wanted it to. Now I can, thanks to you!

Has no idea I could copy patterns. Also, choosing the looping region is new to me. Thank you
haha thanks for the comment. All arturia gear has tiny tricks.
Hello Fernando, thanks a lot for this EXCELLENT tutorial. I'm using BSP since one year, so I consider I "master" it, however they're useful tricks, in particular PRST LINK (I don't understand why Arturia doesn't name it "PATT. LINK" instead!)
I regret these things concerning BeatStep Pro:
- Pattern isn't automatically saved (when edit, a "dot" follow pattern number), so if you change pattern, previously edited pattern(s) is/are lost if not saved!
- Need to press/hold multiple buttons at the same time (3, sometimes 4), is a pain!
- The "reset to factory" process is just ridiculous (and too long).
- The ON/OFF switch is too small.
- Velocities on pads (you must press very hard on them to obtain a high velocity).
Except weak points described above, this hardware is perfect. I'm using it mainly from Bitwig Studio 4/5, and VCV Rack 2.
