Arturia Beatstep Pro 2.0 firmware update any good?

Posted on by

Checking out the latest 2.0 firmware from Arturia for the BeatStep Pro controller & sequencer. But are these updates what we have been waiting for? Have they fixed the major issues? What are the new features like – do they work?

The video tests out MIDI timing, drum part mute, Korg Volca sync via sync cable, randomised octave pitch, Korg Volca Sample drum channel allocation and more – finished off with a little jam (of course)!

Hooked up to the BeatStep Pro are: Korg Volca Sample, Korg Volca Bass, Korg Volca FM, and Korg Volca Keys.

I’m using both MIDI and Clock Sync connections to synchronise the devices.
