Title: BSP and a simple arranger ?
Post by: Musicosm on August 26, 2015, 03:32:23 pm
Hi,

I'm interested to buy the BSP in order to create music in "loop mode"  8)

I have an arranger with midi in & out, can i use the BSP to sequence 2 melodical voices at the same time ( and choose & edit them freely with the BSP) and a drum part  ? Is this posible ?? 

Thanks  !

What do you mean by an arranger? Sequencer?

The answer to your questions is most probably YES anyway :)

Hi again,

And sorry if I made a mistake, I'm spanish  ;D 

By an "arranger" I meant  a portable keyboard like my old Yamaha Psr  that I have ;) 

 Thanks for answering ! I think that I will go to the nearest music store to try the BSP as fast as possible !

as long as you're aware that there's no song mode in the bsp, and all pattern changes are instant when you press the button

I was aware that there's no song mode in the BSP, but not about the pattern changes... that they are "instant" !

I think that I should maybe reconsider the purchase of a BSP  :-\

there's a rumour they might update the behaviour, but if it's important I'd wait until they really do update it

Ok, so I will wait until Arturia update it ... and I hope they will really do it !

Thanks

I actually find that behaviour good for jumping-in new patterns by switching momentarily to the new pattern then back again.  A lot of people are upset by it, but I'd like someone to show me a hardware step-sequencer (that is not a drum machine) which has a song mode.

Well, it would be interesting if Arturia changes that point ! The Beatstep Pro being a new genre/generation of hardware step sequencer...

Perhaps, this is the time for change   :o

song mode, I don't think is too big a deal - they do usually have a reset input though!
