Title: Keystep Pro development roadmap
Post by: synthcreep on June 12, 2020, 09:38:47 pm
As far as I can tell there is no roadmap for features and bug fixes posted for the Keystep Pro.  Please create one.

An example why this is needed:

The Keystep Pro currently has an inflexible drum map approach which greatly limits what hardware can be used with it in a standalone configuration.  If a sound source does not natively support remapping note ranges and its ranges conflict with anything else in your setup, you cannot use it with the Keystep Pro drum sequencer because you cannot choose MIDI channel per drum.   Without knowing If the roadmap includes allowing note and MIDI channel for each drum in the map we cannot make informed purchasing decisions.

+1 on allowing a custom MIDI channel per Drum part, like it's done in the BeatStep Pro.

This would allow using all 24 Drum parts by assigning them to multiple drums machines (hardware or software).

My use case is that I have a Volca Beats and a Volca Sample (10 parts each), which would map nicely to a custom drum map, with four parts to spare (to be assigned to a Software drum like Spark for example). Also this would help with the Volca Sample's peculiar MIDI implementation (one channel per part).

Absolutely required!!! +1

As an owner and user of a Volca Sample, I also would find this very useful.

Synthcreep, you are knocking it out of the park!   Kudos to you and your efforts. Gratefully.
