Title: [Solved]How can I get the same tempo from the DAW?
Post by: schlichteasy on July 09, 2016, 12:11:59 pm

Hallo,

I have the keystep fo 3 days now.

How can I get the same tempo from the DAW?

On IPad there is no problem now to sync the tempo of any app.

I use cubase elements 8 and want to trigger VST-Instruments with keystep as sequencer and Arp.
But the tempo is the problem.

What about a german manual?

Hi,

Set the sync DIP switches (on the back of the device) to USB position.
Configure your DAW to send sync messages to the Keystep.
Click on the play button of your DAW, and you should have the sequencer/arpeggiator running to the same tempo :)

It goes very good!

Thank for the TIP!

I can't seem to do this in Pro Tools.
Can anyone help?
I run into the same issue when setting to USB mode. Can't get the arp/seq to turn on.
Thanks! :)

Same issue here with ableton....
If the arp/seq works in internal mode, it's not sync with ableton, and when i try to sync it by switching to usb mode, it doesn't work anymore
Anyone knows how to deal with that ?

this guy seems to make it work, but i can't figure out how...
