Title: Polyrhytmic arpeggios?
Post by: Jakokrull on May 26, 2020, 05:16:20 pm
Hi there.

So I have a keystep and a beatstep pro on my desktop. What I like to do is this:

So you are using the regular keystep synced with the gate option so the ARP only triggers the next note when it receives a drum gate from the BSP. I could imagine that it would be nice if the KSP could do this on its own as well - using the sequencer pads as triggers for the arpeggiator. I haven't had a hands on experience - do the seq. pads on the top right corner do anything in the arp mode or are they simply disabled?
Right now the keystep pro seems very basic and I don't see it replacing my regular keysteps paired with the BSP anytime soon as it is lacking many features that are necessary for an intuitive performance.
If the keystep pro gets a ton of features along with automatic program changes from external signals, it could really make a live workflow a ton easier in case you like to prepare for a live show.

Any ideas on this please comment ;).
All the best,
Jako

You could use the cv out of the channel running the arp and the gate outs of another channel to trigger notes manually or in some pattern. I do this all the time its fun!

Yes, this is definitely fun, but the result is quite different. Instead of having the arp wait for a trigger and always stay in the desired formation of notes, you would hear random parts of that arpeggio sequence.
