I have only had the keystep for a few days now, and feel like i have got a grasp on how it functions without a sync. But i am struggling to get it to function as i want with a sync in from the beatstep pro (set to one per clock on both devices). Most times i try to record a loop with a sync, the key step either loops a single bit of it or something seemingly unrelated to the timing i have. I understand that it quantizes to which ever time division is set, but it never seems to add ties in if i go over the time division time step, nor rests, do these still have to be added in manually? Furthermore if i just press record while the keystep is synced (and the beatstep is playing) it doesn't seem to record anything, only when i use the append option can i seem to get similar results. Does it still require the sequence to have a defined number of steps prior to recording? Is there any way of recording an unquantiszed loop sequence if the keystep runs on a sync?
Ideally i imagine the keystep quantising the pressing of the record button to the nearest beat of the synced tempo and recording a loop that lasts until a second record press ( also synced) while everything is placed relative to where i played it.
Thanks Ben
