Problems with Beatstep Pro

[damschwartz]

Buggy unit here too, updated to the last firmware, all of the described above plus Drum Sequencer skipping triggers via Midi every once in a while (seems to happen while editing steps more often)

[damschwartz]

Clear all patterns and still with the issue, it behaves like if randomness was activated but it's actually not. Is there going to be any fix for this? maybe some hardware issue? it is great but i don't honestly have the time to deal with this issues, already thinking to return it

Yes, that will be the same issue as hanging notes / skipping notes on an occasional basis. I think that when note events are missed that all 3 sequencer outputs are affected on the 5 pin MIDI output.
Arturia acknowledged this as a bug so I guess we should realistically expect a fix before too long.

For me this has really taken the edge of a theoretically excellent product and price point but I will wait it out.

Agreed.


And it's definitely not the unit.

I just hope the firmware is well on its way.

you can add a Rate knob that doesn't work to this growing list...

[damschwartz]

Then add shift taking not effect on sequence, i need to save then restart, then it works again, not always, but almost.
Have to admit one of the main things for me was the Drum seq over midi, to sequence my beloved Airbase99 of course cv´s and extra sequences was a big plus, but like this is like having a brick. It's not a minor thing though, midi is too one of it's main features, it seems it hasn't been even tested, if not you would never put out a product like this.

[damschwartz]

Returned mine, good luck guys!

[john.somatix]

unless I get a respone to my ticket soon I'll be doing the same (for a replacement though). bummer.

Just confirm that the random MIDI out bugs are still happening with firmware 1206.

bummer, i'd really like to buy one, but as long users will report critical bugs like this i surely won't!

[Filterseducer]

buy it after summer 2016, i'm sure some bugs will be ironed

1.2.0.6 and it keeps losing the USB clock... Looks like a sloppy programming on Arturia part. Are there no good real-time device programmers nowadays?

[dm13]

A bug: Setting ControlMode pads/encoders to output only to MIDI out makes no effect - the events still come through the USB.
Reported to Arturia.

Well I thought my system was immune to this usb dropping issue but experienced while programming and jamming on a project. Tried changing from hub to the only free slot i have but found the same issue after a while even though was a different project.
I'm switching to midi until a fix comes.

Hi dm13,
Are you using the last firmware (1.2.0.6) and the last Midi Control Center version (1.2.1.346) ?  Make your settings, save them in the MCC and then drag and drop control map from Project Browser to Device project.  It should work fine.
