    I wish everyone explained equipment as well as you! I watch reviews that tell me what they do but I seldom know any more than when I started. Excellent job!

    Agreed. Even other well known KZreadrs make it confusing (or more confusing and ambiguous) and don’t explain it well

    Thank you. I'm inexperienced with all this. I've been watching lots of videos on the BeatStep (I'm at the point of having ordered it but still waiting for delivery, I had misunderstood "last step" and your explanation of "gate" was helpful. I've looked at the Lone Star School of Music channel and there's videos with titles about stuff I want to learn about, I'll certainly be giving those a go, thank you. I'm in my mid 50s now, I was discussing with a friend how our (musical) lives could have been so much different had we had iPads and GarageBand as kids, along with free learning resources. I was deep into my first ever instrument, sax, in the mid 2000s and there was almost nothing online for me. Sadly, I have some physical issues that forced me to stop sax/wind controller and drums some time ago. I'm so excited to be thinking about creating music again. Daunting by getting to grips with the DAW side of things, so really happy to be getting the BeatStep, which will ease me into Abelton Live Lite.

    128 is a round number in binary. One less than it, 127, is the equivalent in binary of a number that's all-9's - it's the biggest value you can fit in a given number of digits.

    I’ve been watching tutorials on this for 3 days and this was by far the best. I have a question. How do I set it so that I can sequence 2 Roland boutiques via MIDI, but without any midi clock? The boutiques receive clock via usb from the mx1 mixer, so I only need to sequence the actual riffs but not the clock. How do I set this up, and how do I have sequencer 1 & 2 to the 2 boutiques with the 1 Midi out? Really appreciate this tutorial and it was loads better than all the others I’ve been watching.

    Question - is there any device that I can load a few of my own (wav) samples with - and then trigger those samples using an external midi device by sending only one midi note? I have a Roland SPD-SX and it has no sequencing capabilities. I have a kick drum trigger that fires a wav file in the SPD-SX - Since the SPD-SX has Midi out, I am trying to use the midi out note (from the kick drum) and have it step through a sequence of Wav files. I am looking for this type of device - any help would be appreciated - Thank you in advance

    127 is just one off 128 Geometric series easily identifyible same as bit rate or memory size in computers. That is why they would have made it that way when midi was first invented

    You mean on the non-Pro model? From the manual 6.3.3.4 Pattern Length - it say's : To select a new Pattern Length, hold the SHIFT and CHAN buttons and then press the pad that corresponds to the desired setting. Hope that helps. Cheers.
