BeatStep Pro is unique: a world-class controller, performance sequencer and composing tool all in one very connectible package. BeatStep Pro is unlike anything you have ever used on stage or in the studio. Wherever you are, whatever gear is available, taking control of the creative process has never been so easy. Step into the spotlight Two independent melodic sequencers and a drum sequencer put thousands of on-the-spot ideas at your disposal. With BeatStep Pro you are master of the performance, taking full control of virtual devices, analog and digital instruments, drum machines and iPad apps all at once. 16 Projects are instantly accessible, each of which contains 16 sequences per melodic sequencer and 16 patterns for the drum sequencer. That’s over 4000 possible combinations per Project! Each melodic sequence can be up to 64 steps long with individual articulation of pitch, velocity and gate time per note. These are the most powerful step sequencers ever made. The drum sequencer has 16 separate tracks per sequence (one per pad). Record in real time from the pads or use the step buttons for that classic drum machine workflow. Perfect performance BeatStep Pro brings together the most unique and sought-after performance effects available: a looper with a touch strip, a randomizer, swing settings and a slew of hands-on controls that will make your performances the stuff of legend. Take control Control mode lets you trigger clips in your favorite DAW, play sounds from an external device or make magic with your plug-in of choice. Take your music from idea to reality with BeatStep Pro.

Here’s a brief description of each section: 1-TRANSPORT Send MIDI Machine Control messages to start and stop your favorite DAW. Use Record mode to enter sequences or drum patterns in real time. 2-TRANS LNK/PRST LNK Link your sequence preset or transposition changes so all sequencers change at the same time. 3-SWING & Randomizer Set swing amount per sequencer or globally. Add subtle or wild amounts of pattern unpredictability with the Randomness and Probability controls. 4-Display Displays the Tempo or the selected parameter value, which may be edited by the encoder. Tap a tempo or enable/disable the metronome with the gray button. 5-Sync mode Select the internal clock or slave to a DAW, external MIDI clock, or analog/DIN sync. 6-Sequence control section Select sequences independently, set the Knobs mode for each sequencer, and mute or unmute sequences. 7-Project/Control mode Choose one of the 16 Projects or enter Control mode from here. 8-Touch sensitive knobs Touch a knob to see its value in the display without editing it, then use the knobs to edit the pitch, gate, velocity values and timing shifts per step. 9-Step buttons The 16 Step buttons enable and disable the steps in the current sequencer during playback. They also can be used to select the current sequencer’s preset. 10-Pressure sensitive pads The 16 highly responsive pads allow you to play sounds either in Control mode or Drum mode. They are also great for playing notes into the melodic sequencers and transposing the sequences during playback.. 11-CV/Gates The 1 volt/octave CV/Gate outputs and the VELO output give each sequencer three ways to control a modular synth or our MiniBrute/MicroBrute analog synthesizers. 12-Drum gates External devices can be triggered by Pads 1-8 and the drum sequencer using the Drum gate outputs. 13-Clock Send or receive standard square wave clocking signals by way of the Clock connectors. Use one of the included MIDI adaptors and BeatStep Pro will send or receive DIN sync with stop/start messages. 14-MIDI BeatStep Pro will interface with any MIDI equipped gear using the included MIDI adaptors. 15-USB The USB port allows for standard class-compliant bus-powered operation. Use a USB power adaptor to run BeatStep Pro in a standalone situation.
