Great modern sequencer with old school vibe

I had the original Beatstep and used it to trigger my drum machine via midi and to sequence my synth. It was great, especially for such a small price but it has its limitations (no physical MIDI in, no tempo display). Enter the Beatstep Pro and all the things I would wish for are there plus more!

Beatstep Pro is a full featured sequencer with two mono tracks and a drum track, great for synths and drum machines. Recording can be done in real time or in step mode, great stuff!

Additional features like touch sensitive knobs and randomness are really nice. I didn't find the roller/looper to be particularly useful, perhaps certain parts/rhythms will work better than others.

All in all great machine for very reasonable price. If you have hardware synths and drum machines this is almost silly not to get.
