so this is neat to come across... i bought the thing before really knowing anything about jamming or sequencers or any of the hundreds of things about music production. It is disappointing the thing cant chain patterns, or record a sequence from an external synth

Hey David, this looks like really sweet functionality! I've tried to follow the instructions on the github page, but am running into a "cannot find module 'esm'". Has anyone else encountered a similar error? I haven't been able to find anything useful through google.

feel free to file an issue on github for it. My first guess is that you need to run "npm i" to install all the deps.

Thank you! Does the Stop Knob + pad assign a different drum pad?
@DavidKonsumer

yep, STOP is like "choose a different note channel" which in that program means a different drum sample. If could be modified pretty simply to send the same note on multiple channels, but for me I generally have my whole drumkit on 1 instrument/channel, with each note as a different drum (faster for entering beats with keyboard on renoise, and it's also how many programs, like hydrogen in video, work.) If you have any other questions, or want to set it up in some different particular way, let me know in the github issue queue, and I will try to help. The actual behavior/sequencer script is pretty simple (once I setup the driver to listen to midi and color the buttons and stuff.) Eventually, I'd love to make several different sequencer-types, so you can use it in lots of different ways, but personally, I first really wanted a way to mess with beats on the fly, visually, without looking at a screen.

It should work ok. Just make sure you have node/npm installed.

Hey mate, looks great but I'm having no luck getting it running on windows. I mean I can run it, but it gets issues with the windows MIDI subsystem and can't create the virtual port. Have you been able to get it working on Windows? The functionality you've put in makes the device ten times more useful for drums.

I don't have a windows machine to test with handy, but I will try to set something up soon, if I have time. I made an issue for it: github.com/konsumer/beatstep/issues/6

Hey David, that's a great idea. I'm wondering how it can be run into the beatstep. It would be great if you could give us some information regarding the setup. Cheers

Basically, just hook up your beatstsp and run the node program, as in video. It will make a fake midi device ("extended beatstep) that you can use with your software.

can you sequencer a synth on top of the drum sequence too?

My beatstep on Live 11 is 1/32 notes late to the beat. Did you resolve the tempo problem? Does yours have the same issue?

nah, my clock just comes from the computer, and is mostly accurate, at least with the drum-sampler software I use. Happy to dig in deeper, though, if you make an issue on the github queue. The actual midi notes come from my software, and the beatstep is just used as an interface, so it might actually fix other hardware problems.

If this were working the way you wanted it to, would there be a better drum sequencer?

Honestly, probly not. I used to use trackers live to make beats, so I could adjust speed/patterns/notes on the fly, and this kinda puts that all into a nice hardware interface, so it makes it nice and 'headless". This seems just about perfect for me.

if you install nodejs, you can open a console and run "npm i -g beatstep" and then "beatstep" and it should work.. I don't have a windows box around to test, but I did try to make it cross-platform. Maybe eventually I will compile a ready-made thing, but as of now it's still sort of in the development phase.
