Any new firmware update soon?

[christophet]

Is there any chance to see a new firmware update soon? It’s been a while since the last one has been released…

[MajorFubar]

To fix something specifically, or what?

[christophet]

Waiting for:

• A control track per track like it was stated in the manual when I bought it and not a global control track with only 5 controls to share between the 4 sequencer tracks.
• A way to specify the tempo per pattern or per scene (if it makes more sense).
• A way to send program change per pattern.
• A way to record aftertouch, pitch bend and mod wheel.
• …

I am not expecting to see everything implemented but at least some of the items.

I’m waiting for some bugs fixed! 
But I fear bug tracking is too much asked for Arturia!

Hello José,

I disagree to have my technical support request #734129, being merged and closed with technical support request #734127.

Despite both are about the KEYSTEP PRO and filled on the same day by the same person, these bugs are very likely NOT RELATED and definitely NOT A BEATSTEP PRO!

The reason I filled 2 separate requests is because the developers can address the different issues separately in their bug tracker.

Here is the issue again:
Saving patterns or projects during live performance, produces audible hiccups in the sequence playback.

I hope you will read this message more closely and direct it to the developers to address this bug in a future firmware.

Best regards,
Marcel

Hello Marcel

Sorry I thought you were referring to the BeatStep Pro because you select it on the form, but I see you are referring to the KeyStep Pro.

Indeed when copying the Project the Chain Patter is lost.

I will report this to the Dev Team so they can fix it on a future Firmware Update.

Let me know if i can be of any further help at the moment or if i may close your ticket considering it as properly "Taken into account on our end" but if you need any further help, in order to re-open it you'll simply have to reply to this message, so indeed let me know if i can be of any further help at the moment.

Best Regards,

Hello Marcel,

Thank you for clarifying the difference between the problems, I will make sure to create an individual report for each one of them and send it to the Dev Team for further investigation.

Please feel free to contact us if you need more assistance, in order to re-open the ticket simply reply to this message.

Best Regards,

Well...the CV core was supposed to be rewritten because it have many horrible bugs, the arpeggios broke randomly for no reason, for example.

Received this on Aug 21...it would be good to have an update.

Hi Federico,

Thank you for reaching back,

Unfortunately at the moment I don't have an ETA on the firmware release,

Since your ticket is linked to the parent bug report i'll reach back with a beta version once completed and fully approved by the test department,

But since it's currently summer and the rework on the CVs is quite extensive it might take a few months to see this release be rolled out,

Kind regards.

If you have a window for FW update, pls add:
Latch Transpose (for KSP own keys and from external midi controller). Benefit: without holding the Transpose button, it will free up my left hand to perform other synths. Thank you.

This is the one number #1 issue. I'm actually moving to Black sequencer. Perhaps I'll ditch the KSP after that.

+1 waiting on next firmware update.
It almost seems like Arturia is just ignoring this product. The KeyStep 37 gets more attention.

[Barriott]

Yes I'm waiting, forever waiting, for them to sort out a confirmed bug when syncing the KSP to reason making reason the slave.

The clock just isn't stable enough and creates all sorts of audio artifacts due to it drifting.

I've sort of given up.  I really want to us the KSP with a band and being able to real time control the tempo is preferable. Almost necessary to the point where it's kind of not fit for purpose.

Seconded.

I would love it if Arturia would implement the chord and strum function from the keystep 37 into the KSP.

[al80]

Please Arturia make the KSP to receive GLOBAL  MIDI TRANSPOSE from external midi controllers like the most of the other arturia stuff.

i am waiting since day 1 about that.

Thanks

+1 - this is a big miss.

The limitation of 1 control track (only 5 CC's) though not a bug, is still very disappointing.

Also the manual could be clearer:
6.4.1.3. Saving Chains
If you want to preserve your Chain for posterity, don't forget to save it before powering off
the KeyStep Pro. You save the Chains you've created for each track by saving the current
project by pressing Save + Project and confirming by pressing the selection encoder.

While this does seem to get saved between loading projects, it doesn't get saved when the unit is powered of.

From the FAQ:
CAN I SAVE CHAINS?
No, chains are temporary performance things.
There is however a way to save them: create a chain with patterns and save them in a Scene: hold 'Save', press 'Scene' and select a scene to save this configuration to.
When you load this scene the chain(s) will be part of it and become active.
Please don't forget to save the project and the scenes contained in it for future use:
Hold 'Save' and press 'Project'
Select a project to save to.

I would also like new firmware update soon.
