Arturia BeatStep Pro firmware

Bug fixes - Recording Arpeggio on a transposed sequence now records the right notes. - Fast Tie across multiple Pages does not generate unwanted trigs anymore. - No more double trigs when Real-Time Recording. - Using Looper when Project is about to change (blinking) & scene mode is ON does not freeze the unit anymore. - Program changes now work regardless of incoming MIDI channels. - Better timing stability when slaved to Apple Logic's clock. - Ties now properly recorded in Real-Time Recording. - Real-Time Recording with the Roller in alternate mode now records the proper notes. - No more stuck notes when using Roller in Controller Mode and pressing Stop or Play. - Randomness and Probability now properly applied on the Drum Sequencer when chaining patterns

New Features - See tied/slide notes - Hold SHIFT button - No more tempo display fluctuations in external sync - Factory reset - Hold PRST LNK + << + >> + LST STEP at power up BugFixes - No more real-time recording step mistakes - No more synchronization issues when external MIDI, DIN or analog clock is used. - MIDI drivers enhancement solving sync and stuck note issues - No more chaining Pattern + Alternate playback direction synchronization loss - Sequence starts on the right step after pattern/project change - Pattern Chain : First pattern is played properly - Song Position Pointer is now handled properly

Features - Wait to load pattern (activated in the MIDI Control Center): when Wait to load pattern is On, it waits until the end of the pattern to switch - Chaining pattern: Up to 16 patterns can be chained for each sequencer to create longer sequences. Use SHIFT + SEQ1, SEQ2 and/or DRUM and press the step buttons in the order of your chain. - SHIFT + KNOB : Changes are applied to all the steps of the pattern using one knob. KNOB 1 is used for RELATIVE changes and KNOB 2 for ABSOLUTE changes. Velocity, Gate and Shift can be modified this way. - Input MIDI channels can be set using SHIFT + CHAN combination. - BeatStep Pro stays in sync when changing the time resolution or playback direction, by calculating the new playing position. - SHIFT + PLAY restarts the 3 sequencers, quantized to the next Drum step. - Hold notes triggered by pads in CONTROL mode when switching to another mode. - Gate lengths have now a minimum value regardless of the tempo. The Minimum duration of a Gate is 3 ms. - Copy patterns between SEQ1 and SEQ2: to copy a pattern from SEQ1 to SEQ2 : set the BeatStep Pro in SEQ1 Mode, then hold SAVE + SEQ2 + STEP in this order to save - Saving patterns feedback: A dot is displayed at the bottom of the pattern number on the sequencer's display if the pattern is modified - BeatStep Pro shows the used patterns when saving: when pressing Save to save a pattern (SEQUENCER 1, 2 or DRUM) patterns which are not empty light up in white - 7-segment displays blinking modification on pattern save - The last used project will be loaded when the unit starts Fixed Bugs - Real-time recording improvements - No lose synchronization when USB clock is used. - MIDI output channels and Metronome state are now properly recalled - no more knobs jump to 0 when turned fast - Pads no longer lit when MIDI notes are triggered if SHIFT or DRUM or SEQ1/2 buttons are pressed - Knob acceleration enhancement - Looper reverse mode enhancement - Mute mode enhancement [...]

New Features - Huge improvement of external clock handling for higher internal resolution - Show firmware version on the four sequencer displays during startup Fixed Bugs - Switching from CLK to INT sync while the sequencer plays would sometimes freeze the sequencer. - Looper would not behave correctly when sync is set to "CLK" - When slaved to a MIDI clock, the sent clock was half the tempo - On Sequencer 2, legato playing while in record mode would cut the CV output when releasing the first note - Displayed tempo and real tempo sometimes would not perfectly match - In some cases, metronome notes were not sent in time with the external clock sync - Control Map was not loaded properly from the MIDI Control Center - MIDI was not always transmitted correctly when synchronized to an external clock - No gate off messages were sent when synchronized to an external clock (1 pulse per step) - Playback would stop when saving a project - Tempo display was wrong when slaved to USB in some DAWs - DIN 24 sync was late - When synchronized to USB, BeatStep Pro does not transmit the MMC Play message back.

Bug Fixes - Seq and Transpose input channel can not be set on User channel (fixed) - Global swing/randomness/probability parameters can't be stored (fixed) - Center pitch for global transpose from external midi is symmetrically inverted (fixed) - Changing input channels from MCC requires reboot (fixed)

New features - Looper, Roller fully functional - Enter note with pad/external midi note by holding a step button - Directly select drum by pressing a pad - Sequence Transpose by pressing Sequencer button and a pad - Pressing pad in Sequencer mode send Midi Notes - Load/Sync sequences and settings with MIDI Control Center >= 1.2.0
