I keep waiting to see when Arturia will drop that lovely PolyBrute Aftertouch keybed in something, and a refreshed Keystep seems like a natural fit.
Come on, Arturia! Take my money!

Give me a 61 key pro pro version too! I sold my KSP and have got a Novation Remote SL61mk3 and the controller aspect of it is great - but the sequencers are not as capable or intuitive or as fun as the KSP. Bought (and sold) a Hapax and that was too capable / overkill for my needs!
Personnaly my biggest grip , is the control aspect , i asked them to give like 4 rows or more of controllers in control mode or some to simple use it as a cc controller for daw’s synth or some … so each time i use it as main kb on my desk (since i have no room) i have to choose between my NI one to control thing or KSP to have the step suqencing power !!
A second thing is the ability to have a midi track that you can play even if you have used all 4 tracks , to play an external midi vst or HW without having to kill a track and so it’s sequence …
Simple things but it’s surpising it’s not there form start …
Guyz may i ask ksp owners if there’s indeed a screen /layout portector that we can pull up ?
This been here since day one and i fell like wanting to remove that but i wanna be sure that this is indeed a portection and that i’m not gonna mess up the whole surface lol
I don’t remember if there was one on mine, but do it for science!

There was on mine! I originally thought it was part of the screen as was not obvious (it was scratched up)
So it take the whole left part ?and when you pulled up , what about area near knobs

Mine had a screen protector. Only on the left, if I remember correctly. Over the hard plastic which houses the display and most of the buttons. I don’t recall any protective covering over the white molded plastic on the rest of the keyboard, but it’s been a few years.
But I think that it covers the entire track and display panel on the upper left.

Receive a first answer : “yes screen protector pull it off”
Then i asked are you sure it take the whole left part
Second answer , same guy , "nope this is then the plastic overlay , do you live in an humid place ? "
Noisy keyz , unconstsitent aftertouch , i love the keystep pro , but the quality of arturia stuff is starting to be a question (my minulab og lost 2 times a key , build quality was terrible) , and i play smooth , not like a crazy jazzz man on a show …

Hi all - Hoping for input, confirmation of issue, general sympathy, some indicator that I’m not overlooking something obvious.
KSP Chroma owner for around a year or so. Great device for the most part and use it daily.
However, since shortly after purchasing (new), the pitch strip will randomly, frequently, peg to full negative value and hold - nothing moves it at that point other than a device power reset.
Additional details:
- Always seems to peg full negative (haven’t seen positive). Maybe some slight fluctuation in pitch emitted but full negative is where the strip holds.
- Issue still occurs with no input connections to the KSP other than analog clock.
- Makes the KSP difficult to rely on since sequences are suddenly played out of key and sequences are often lost due to necessary power reset.
Arturia has been completely useless at diagnosing this issue. They’d apparently prefer to ask me for basic account details then go silent for weeks rather than discuss the issue itself.
Anyone seen similar? Bad unit? Chuck it in the river? Any way to fully disable the pitch strip?
I’m not sure that it’s even possible but could something be sending pitch bend to the KSP? Are you connected to a DAW via USB?
Apart from something like that, I would think this is just a bugged touch strip.
No physical connections to the KSP other than analog clock in, so it’s nothing from the DAW. Does seem like a bugged pitch strip. Any way to simply disable it completely, or at least prevent it from sending out CC data?
One thing that has caught me out is the control sequence, which I once inadvertantly recorded into then forgot it was there. I’ve cleared it out on all my projects now and things are much easier. Could it be that?
Check in Arturia MIDI Control Center or whatever the app is called. There might be a way to disable PB or set the up and down ranges to 0 semitones.
