Got a Beatstep Pro and played with it right out of the box first. It was very buggy. So I updated to the current firmware 1.1.0.3. It still doesn't want to properly sync with CV gear, like the SQ1, even though I set it to 1spp in the MCC several times. That seems to be a known issue, I guess.
Another thing I noticed, is that with the current firmware update, I have to hold the sequencer button in order to transpose a sequence. In the factory firmware, the transpose mode was on all the time, which is a lot more useful, because you don't need two hand to transpose and can still wiggle some knobs on the synths while transposing. I assume that this is what the transpose latch setting is for, however nothing seems to change when I set it to on/off in the MCC. Is that setting broken in the current firmware?
If I don't hold the sequencer button and just play pads while a sequence is running, I get cut off notes a lot. I assume because my pad playing isn't 100% on the beat all the time. It would be nice to have a quantize option or something else that suppresses recorded notes while playing the pads on top, because like this, the pads don't work well.
The current firmware is an improvement obviously, but I still have a feeling that when sequencing CV/Gate gear with the INT clock, it's sometimes not that tight (with randomness and swing disabled). I have to look into that some more, although I'm really not in the mood for beta testing
