Having spent pretty much the last 24 hours looking into my Beatstep Pro Drum Rack sampler setup I have found I can actually use the computer keyboard arrow keys to highlite the drum rack cell that I want to edit the sound of. Not ideal but not the end of the world.
I have also discovered that according to lives help view many other controllers can be used to select drum rack cells so it is actually possible. I appreciate that BSP is not just a DAW controller which is why I bought it and exactly how I use it however controller mode could be way more useful.
I initially started using live lite as a temporary solution for drums and sampling until I got the cash together to buy more hardware however now I am quite enjoying my hybrid setup & may may decide to ditch the hardware sampler (for a while at least) in favour of another characterful synth and Drum Brute impact... Lives basic simpler is a way more powerful sampler than pretty much any hardware ever.
I guess what I am trying to say is.... Arturia can you please make a proper more focused and well thought out script for the wonderful Beatstep Pro. Ditch the clip launching and all that general nonsense as I reckon most people have other controllers for that stuff. I reckon just make it work really really well with Drum Racks and sampling.
PS, I'm head over heels in love with the BSP, I'm most likely going to need another one as my hardware collection grows.
