Title: Questions about Arturia products, some of which I intend to purchase
Post by: tompox on September 03, 2018, 07:11:40 am

Hey there,

Sorry if I don't post in the appropriate forum, I am new here though I've been an Arturia iApps user for some time now.

I am looking forward to buying myself a Minibrute 2S (which I know should be discussed in its own dedicated forum) in order to get properly acquainted to Modular Synthesis before I celebrate my half century birthday with a Matrix Brute.

Just in between I was  also considering the Beatstep Pro and, until I give it a try, I thought it could be a good idea to know how similar/different interacting with its sequencer is between the Minibrute 2S, the Beatstep Pro and also the iSpark/SparkLE.

Is the workflow quite similar between these (push/twiddle same controllers in the same order)?

If I really well know iSpark, how natural will it be to use the Beatstep Pro (and/or the Minibrute 2S, BTW) ?
Regarding the Beatstep Pro, I understand there will be another step required to propery learn to hook it up to sound generation devices...

Another question: At the heart of my setup, there's a Roland RC-300 Looper. This amazing piece of gear however can only work in Sync-Master mode: starting a first loop or stopping the last one will trigger other slave devices to follow in sync. Can all the aforementioned products be properly piloted from the RC-300?

How easy is it to save a complete sequence and to switch between these?

Thanks for your help.

PS: is there an Arturia *Step (Pro) product which has Bluetooth LE as well as MIDI/USB an CV?

I already saw the first one which made me want a 2S, but I'll explore the other. Thanks!
