Sequencing synthesizers with Arturia Keystep Pro

Updated: Feb 14, 2021

I started leaning music production by sequencing synthesizers. I got an Arturia Keystep Pro - versatile 4-track midi sequencer and arpeggiator. My new Keystep pro is connected to Roland Integra-7 for drum, percussion, synthesizers , to Moog Werkstatt-01 as bass, to Modal Craftsynth 2.0 as bass, lead, to Roland SE-02 for bass, lead, melody. It can also control my other hardware synths, software synths and iPAD synths(DigiStix drummer) via DAW midi routing.

Note: KSP Drum machine's default midi channel is 10.
