Using Arturia's KeyStep with VCV Rack
Published on Mar 7, 2019 Omri Cohen
Follow-up to VCV Rack & Arturia's KeyStep - First Patch
"For a while now, I was looking for a relatively small midi keyboard, that will work well with VCV Rack, but also with other gear, and that will fit into my live setup I'm building. Little did I know that the KeyStep from Arturia is a very powerful tool to have, super intuitive, and very friendly in a live situation. Other than having all the "regular" features a midi keyboard has like velocity and aftertouch, it has also a cool arpeggiator with 8 play modes, and a very powerful sequencer that can interact with the user and evolve the sequence on the spot as the composition develops. It's also very easy to use within VCV Rack, and in this video I show how to sync the KeyStep with VCV Rack, how to use it as a "normal" midi keyboard, also polyphonically, and I demonstrate how the arpeggiator and sequencer are working, including Chord mode, which is very cool by itself.
00:29 - Syncing the KeyStep with VCV Rack
04:08 - Using the KeyStep as a "normal" MIDI Keyboard (monophonic AND polyphonic with up to 16 voices)
16:02 - Using the KeyStep's arpeggiator
19:25 - Using the KeyStep's sequencer including KYB Play mode
24:45 - Using the KeyStep's chord mode"
Black Corporation Xerxes Session with Paul Schilling & Pandomonium
"I was able to spend an hour with the amazing Xerxes, with the Midiboard as controller, so polyphonic aftertouch. It was still a prototype (you may hear some subtle chorus "chirp" artifacts in especially quiet spots). In this session I gravitated towards exploring the beautiful highpass and bandpass filter modes. This is a killer synth.
We recorded this session with Valhalla reverb and a bit of delay."
& XERXES Synthesizer - Fanfare by Pandomonium:
"Xerxes synthesizer (prototype).
Individual tracks played live on Kurzweil Midiboard with dynamics controlled via polyphonic aftertouch only. Sounds programmed and performed by Ando Pilve.
Percussion by Spitfire
Reverb by Valhalla
No other samples or sounds used
Fanfare for the Common Man composed by Aaron Copland"

"This vintage Juno-106 is fully functional and in excellent condition. Comes with Kiwi modification and overlay. This unit has been fully serviced/modded here at Switched On and includes new Analogue Renaissance voice chips. Sounds and looks great!
This Juno-106 is in great condition and has had the Kiwi-106 CPU upgrade installed. The Kiwi-106 mod features larger patch memory, an additional ADSR and LFO, a step sequencer, better MIDI implementation and more.
The Juno 106 was one of the most successful keyboards of its time, and is still used often today, because of its easy to program interface, midi features, and analog sound.
It is the third incarnation of Roland's Juno series, preceded by the Juno 6 and Juno 60. The Juno 106 is an excellent synth for someone wanting to learn synthesis, but is also fully featured enough for a seasoned pro."

"Stings, Organ, and Brass sections that intertwine and can be mixed individually. All analog and all fully polyphonic! Overall in good working condition, some of the pots and sliders crackle and briefly cut out when in use. The wood chassis appears to be rebuilt as well."

LepLoop Eurorack Drum Modules
via Leploop
"Percussion modules based on LepLoop V2 Cassa design.Cassa: Same as LepLoop v2 Cassa, hard\soft BD generator can go full resonance.
Cassa CV: Add cv control over frequency and resonance with cv amount.
Bongo: Same as Cassa one octave higher pitch range, Tom and Bongo like sounds.
Bongo CV: Add cv control over frequency and resonance with cv amount.
Legno: Very high pitch Cassa for rim shot, wood blocks, fingers snap like sounds.
Legno CV: Add cv control over frequency and resonance with cv amount.
Piattino: Hi-hat module based around Cassa design with white noise and tow release envelope.
All percussion module are 3U 4\6 HP and have tow trig input and a trig mix pot. accepting different signal :
Trig: short trig, less than 10ms will play one time, longer trig will play tow times.
Cv: you can use different cv signal like envelope, lfo for trig the modules.
Audio: Cassa design is based around a stepped resonant filter, you can route audio signal to a trig input for filter and distortion effect.
TRIG MIX : The rhythm played by the Cassa is the sum of the tow trig IN1 and IN2.
The trig mix pot. adjust the mix between the tow trig input, great for create poly rhythms.
If only IN1 or IN2 are plug the trig mix pot. adjust the level of the trig in signal.
FREQUENCY: Adjusts the pitch of the sound of the case, also affects the resonance.
RESONANCE: Adjusts the resonance, ie the damping time of the Cassa.
Beyond a certain level the Cassa go into permanent oscillation, the level at which the oscillation begins varies with frequency.
DISTORTION: Adjusts the level of Cassa signal distortion."
Cool art! Pick your favorite. I kind of like Legno.

"It has a unique, bit less reverb-y ensemble modulation compared the model 2's, which means it's drier, with more bite, more manageable in the mix and performs better through effects pedals, AMAZING through a phaser...."
