Beatstep Pro : Good controller but to many function and to less button with just one display

10 years ago

To be honest i really like the idea that arturia had with beatstep pro.

It has a lot of functionality, maybe too much for one controller.

It's good but what i really didn't like about it is the fact that you have always to go in submenus to control gate,pitch or velocity and the rotary are endless but u have to follow the number or notes in one little screen.

If u want use more knobs together you can, but u never knows where u are, and the same thing happen with velocity gate and pitch, while u are in some menus u can not move the others and neither know exactly where u are.

U have 2 sequencers for synths and one for drum.

Both works fine for studio session where u can lose yourself endless but not for live jam!

The master clock is also fine and it's easy to set up with everything...

Good stuff but i'd expected at least one little screen each knobs.
