it repeats but you need a chorus

This is easily the best video demonstration of the Keystep I've seen. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your love for the concept is honest and creatively powerful. Thank you for such an informative and fun video!!

The best explanation of a keystep ever. I was struggling with it for a few days, this video is gold.

That wasn't a review,that was an amazing free performance with a review thrown in for good measure! You've got me itching to start making music again after I sold most of my equipment.I'm deffo buying one of these! Great video!

yes, that was so great.

Thank you good sir. "On paper you just won't get it". Totally agree. I've almost lost faith in my ability to understand the written text. I've been using Keystep for several month now and only today came across this video. After the first minute I've poused it, turned on the KeyStep and instantly came up with 3-part 2 minute piano madness. Man, this is the best tutorial ever! None of the others has ever opened a wider horizon for me. Except for Pianote lesson on diatonic chords, maybe.

What a brilliant tutorial so easy to follow, I have had the key step for ages and have discovered a lot of things I didn’t know. Thanks

This is really awesome - thanks for presenting this. The way you've incorporated this into your creative process is really inspiring.

The sequence you build up between the 4 and 9 minute mark is awesome - very very Steve Reich. Great playing and a really helpful and inspiring review. Thank you!

Everything you played on this video is amazing, I would listen to it independently. Really really cool demo, my GAS in knocking on the door again.

The best demo of the Keystep sequencer ive seen. Your enthusiasm is inspirational. Thank you 😁

Nobody has ever sold me on a piece of gear as you did.

Your video sold me on the KeyStep. Have had mine now for a couple of months and it's absolutely amazing!

i m always enjoying new videos from mylarmelodies. i like your personal, emotional and musical approach and you voice as well. inspiring and fun and still my favourite channel. by the way, the music in this video is simply beautiful. cheers from germany, herbert

This is just the tutorial I needed for the Keystep sequencer. Been using it only for MIDI input for my Circuit but can now see all sorts of possibilities using it in other ways. Thanks!

Excellent video. And as for the key step - I'm getting one today based on his video. This is the PERFECT tool for my studio.

Sometimes heroes do not wear capes! I received this keyboard for Christmas, I didn't understand much of the sequencing magic you demoed here, but now i do. Thanks a bunch, and have a great year!

Finally. Actual helpful review and amazing music. Navigating through many YT reviews of equipment always pays off. Thanks. Subbed.

I heard you on a Future Music vid, explaining the Make Noise Maths, mindblowing by the way, here you are again, I could listen to you for hours, great Tutorial

finally a video about something I own :) Thanks for sharing your nice ideas. Inspiring keyboard!

Very cool! You did a great job showcasing what the KeyStep really can do. I order one yesterday, should arrive tomorrow...very excited 😊

Thank you so much for the review! It's amazing how different reviews show different sides and uses of this seemingly simple keyboard! I'm so glad I've finally got it :)

man your energy is FANTASTIC! I was already going to get one, but you just made me fall in love with it

Oh man! Been using my keystep for a year without ever digging into the sequencer - only the arp. Glad I stumbled onto this vid!

Great review, so refreshing as most kit reviews are so dry these days and generally free of any sense of creativity. Cheers!

Thanks for this great demo. Saw this, walked out the door and was back in an hour with one :) Thanks again! 👍

Just got one of these and so excited to use it after watching this. Nicely done!

Thank you so much for posting this, mylarmelodies! My Keystep's been sitting on a desk for a few weeks -- too much gear and too little time, i guess! -- but when i bought her i was sure i'd get some great use out of it at some point. Thanks to your video i'm inspired to crank it up and get *creating* !! :)

Fantastic tutorial and demonstration. Those beats and rhythms at the end are wonderful. Polyphony and polyrhythms mmmmmmm

One of the best instructionals I've seen on this! Great work

Ok. You pushed me over the edge after seeing the video. I ordered my Keystep on Monday and received it Friday!

Your jams are really so good.

Great demonstration, and so much usefu information. I now realize i’ve only been scratching the surface of what can be done with this thing. Back to the lab for me!

Top notch review and demo with tons of inspiration here. Thank you!

Just the connectivity alone was enough to get me to buy this. The fact it has a clock and all of these great sequencing options is a huge bonus. I was able to get an amazing deal on one and can't wait for it to arrive. Awesome demo and performance BTW!

Holy f*** I just ignored those buttons, I'm such a fool. What a brilliant system, my sincere thanks to you for the demo and clever composing!!

Omg thanks for this guide, I just got my key step and watched this before diving in. VERY inspiring :)

Totally amazing from what is mostly a little controller. Love the feel of the deck on this KeyStep too

Tracks demoing synth features have no business being this damn good!

Great video. I have had a Keystep for a while and I love it. My favourite small keyboard. I had always used the rest/append/clear last more as editing tooling, but of course they make the Keystep the basis for a remarkable improvisation instrument. And you can pick one up for less than a ton. Outrageous!

Sold. I've been eyeing this, along with some other options, for a smaller controller (to accompany the 0-coast you already sold me on). Man, the creative flow aspects you're showcasing really sell it. I wasn't even considering how I might use it with my larger hardware synths, but damn I am now.

oooookeeeeeyyy! I did not realize what the keystep is until I saw this. You made me consider this a lot! Especially since I already the BSP and have been considering to buy some midi keyboard. Thank you for this!

Can't believe I wasn't aware of the little sequencer & wish I'd known before synthfest so I could have had a play! You answered what was going to be my question right at the end about using it with a DAW - now I need one! Great video...

Got mine yesterday. It feels soooo intuitive! Very cool!

one of the best reviews. enjoying, very inspiring with wonderful music and alex´ pleasant voice. excellent machine as well.

Learned a ton from this, just got one of these last month so i'm eager to keep digging.

Super inspiring! Love your sound design, man. Definitely wanna buy a keystep now

This demo makes me really happy. Thanks for sharing.

I love your enthusiasm in this video, and what a jam! Let me come over with my guitar, you've totally got me in the zone!

Wow, never thought I'd get a piece of gear before you do a demo. I must have good taste, lol. Thanks so much for this, dude. I've only used my keystep as a controller/arp, couldn't figure out the sequencer, but i shall definitely be referring to this video. My jaw hit the floor like 3 times: I had no idea it was this flexible.

Fantastic demo of this little wonder. Big fan of Arturia products. Thanks!

Not just the Arturia Keystep, your video is amazing too! Happy new year Mylar Melodies!!

Super inspiring jams, man. Thanks.

Just ordered one in the last 10 minutes. Even more excited to get it on Monday now!

You are my favorite person in the synth world on KZread, your great walk throughs and enthusiasm comes through on your videos and it makes me excited about making music too. Great video as always. I was considering getting rid of my keystep but I believe I just haven't used it to it's potential. Oddly when I've connected CV to my Odyssey, the Odyssey sometimes randomly stops working, but I don't have the problem with midi. I haven't used other gear input to the CV on Odyssey so I'm not sure if it's the keystep or the Odyssey, but midi works great on it. I'll have to investigate further, but I'm definitely going to use the sequencer on the keystep more now.

excellent view, most informative. Love that you linked it all up.

Just bought it too! I couldn't resist the Steve Reich Patterns 😂! Thanks for the fun and real life review!!!

how nice man really enjoyed hearing this. I will get one asap now to add to my electronic music live set up. big up!

Fantastic demo. I bought this because of the specs. But this demo showcasing some of its more obscure features makes me really excited for this midi keyboard!

I just got one of these and a BopPad for Christmas and coming up with ideas now with hardware and Ableton is such a joy again!!

Your videos are always so cozy.

Another VERY exciting feature that, i think, you didn't mention is that the sequencer can send MIDI to a *different* channel than the "Keyboard Play" - so you can have an instrument playing, saying, the bassline, and another instrument to jam ! awesome

a video demonstration done well. explains everything and demonstrates it perfectly. nice one dude thx!

Wow! Great vid. I'd never really thought about the Keystep for my set up. Totally re-thinking that now.

Wow I just learnt a lot about my keystep!!! Thanks for this video!

Beautiful. Thanks for creating this.

Perceived complex Phillip Glass and Steve Reich compositions, a la Bob Ross in no time at all. Happy little sequences by happy accidents.

thanks! just learned a bunch about my keystep. had it a year and didnt know i could hit shift & oct+ to play over the sequence

Got about 2 min in and ordered one haha... great video

Great tutorial here man. Easy to follow and well narrated.

You are great, every demo inspires ☺

Okay, was thinking about getting a big synth next with a 61 keyboard attached, but now gonna buy the desktop version instead. The price difference is 100 which is roughly the amount i need for a KeyStep - and good to see KeyStep also has a chord mode, which was the only reason to consider the the non-desktop version. Lovely!

also love the fun musicality and straightforward explanation in this video

Man, I'm totally sold. Great video!

this looks so useful. thanks for the demo!

Just bought it, thank you for sharing this.

You are the demo king.

Damn that DX7 sounds so good. The Keystep and SQ-1 are the workhorses of my “studio”. Also works great as a master clock for other gear. ⚙️

Wonderful video. Biggest surprise: the first time I absolutely enjoy hearing the original DrumBrute! After you mentioned it in the DivKid interview I listened closer

Oh bugger me daft....just as I'm getting to grips with the BeatStep Pro sequencing my Volcas (can't get on with their internal sequencers...) you do this to me! Oh damnation and hellfire. More money gone (not too much but I wanted a...). Love you, fella, for these inspiring videos. Excellent. Might be able to get one...not sure about two though. Totally get the idea of an extra to the Beatstep.

Really cool review. Thanks. Love the Kaotica Eyeball!!

Amazing review! And you are an excelent “synthesist”

Just found you, and this is just fantastic, thanks for this.

Thanks for this. I learned a lot. I've just been using the thing as a nice keybed with full size MIDI out.

Great video! I don't utilise my key step nearly enough. Today will now be spent really getting into it.

Brilliant video, i just ordered one, thanks!

I was already headed towards buying one of these since I own the Beatstep Pro, but man this blew away any doubts I had. For $120 it can't be beat.

Loved the demo. As a bit of an amateur hobbyist, this was a really easy to understand demo, so thank you. (I might have to get one of these)

I actively avoided watching this video until I had the 112€ to buy one of these because I knew the video would convince me. Now I needed something to sequence my DX7 with and bob’s yer uncle. It’s gonna arrive on Saturday and I’m hyped! Thanks for the great video!

This is the most useful and educating video on keystep I ever saw.

Great video. I was about to sell my keystep because it wasn't intuitive enough, but now I realize that I just didn't know how to use some of the features. Sweet. My dx7 and my ESQ-1 will love me again.

Very Maurice Jarre at 13:15 :) Truly inspiring demo, as always. Thanks!
