BeatStep Pro Feature Request Thread

[megamarkd]

I'm fairly happy with my BSP and can live with a lot of the 'issues' people are asking to be fixed, but if there is one thing I would really, really like, it would be a constant midi clock signal to be sent from the midi out.  I have four other sequencers (five if I include the Evolver but it doesn't send notes out) I would like to run on the the midi clock from the BSP but don't want to have to have it running to be able to start any of the others, but nor do I want to use my RY30 or my M1 as the master clock (the Fat Controller is never going to be the master clock, no tempo display for a start).  The BSP has the ability to run at tempos other than whole numbers, which is sometimes a lot easier than trying to set non-tempo-synced delays in milliseconds by steps of 5ms to match a tempo, so I would really like to be able to clock my other sequencers to it rather than being stuck in the 80's running in whole number tempos.
Until I got the BSP I was running everything clocked from the RY30, but I'm now sequencing it with the BSP, so the RY30 needs to sit after the BSP, or I run a huge m-f-ing loop incorporating multiple midi splitters.

please add an optione where you can set if the start/stop signal on the clock out be set to sent just a small trigger instead beeing high while the sequencer is running.
Doesnt work with my doepfer gear the way it is now.

I want to be able to make a 16 step beat, then make it longer, having the original beat doubled.  This is key for live use.

This happens on the spark now.

Hmm not sure what you mean, it has 64 steps like the others !

Did you make sure to update your firmware?

Awesome.  Thanks.  I've read it a few times but missed this part.

SHIFT + CHAN = SELECT MIDI IN (RCV) CHANNEL for each SEQ 1/2/DR/CTRL would be nice too

for routing live recorded patterns via an external keyboard...

+1 on this.

...and being able to use the User Channel (or a new specific Passthrough MIDI Channel, set with Shift+CHAN) as an unfiltered MIDI passthrough between USB and MIDI DIN out.

Right now, MIDI sent through SEQ1/SEQ2 is filtered down to mono and mod+pitchbend'less, which is fine and understandable for USB->CV, so a 4th channel could be used as USB->DIN, completing BSP's feature-set regarding USB/DIN/CV interfacing.

Shift + Rec: Start sequence on the press of the drumpad (so that you always start your pattern on 1) would be very useful

I made a ticket about having MIDI Thru option for messages and complete channels that are not handled by BSP.
I have MIDI Keyboard connected via MIDI in of BSP, and currently i cannot play instruments other than those channels used by sequencers.
Also modwheel and pitchbend should work.

I guess that would be even smarter, letting all unreserved input MIDI Channels passthrough to MIDI DIN out

The only problem with this is that you could save different midi channels  set for different projects so you may have other synths say on a live set that you use on another song/project

True. Using unassigned channels may provide a more "random'ish" behavior to this feature forcing the user to be a bit more organized and use it on a very well planned (fixed'ish) setup.

Add a dropdown in MCC for velocity on each sequencer (at least each of the drum sequencer pads) to change MIDI CC for velocity to something else

I totally agree : being able to record an automation not only on Pitch, velo and gate but also in any CC I want (in my case in the synth parts but also on the drum part). a simple example is to make a "dubstep like" wobble bass where the LFO varies with the notes. but also automate the filter CutOff / reso could be great.

Anyway great job Arturia with this sequencer

Have you tried it? Someone in the bsp facebook group claimed the bsp records and outputs ccs per step.

[PeterWolf]

Then can you post here what he is saying or ask for precisions on the FB group because I dont have access to this group (pending request) and I am probably not the only here who need this information.

Thanks
