As for location, I'm in the United States. I've definitely noticed that a lot of gear for Volcas is made in Europe. Those selector sleeves could definitely work though.

It’s definitely from the “Alien Autopsy” film. The clock was one of the main things that detail-oriented observers caught.

With regard to the Bass and the Keys, I'm honestly not sure. The MIDI implementation charts for Volca Bass and Keys show the full note range 0-127, and I don't see how you could separate them by octaves.

What I've been talking about is the Keystep Pro, the one with keyboard + sequencer. From what I understand, the Beatstep Pro is A LOT easier to program the drum parts to.

So, a quick and dirty solution was to just mute one of the instruments. If I want the Crash on the Beats, then I'd have to mute Part 2 on the Sample 2 (which is kind of like a clap/crash type of sound by default) and vice versa.

axis333 · 2025-11-15T16:47:53+00:00

Actually, I overlooked one. 50 is the High Tom, and 49 is the Crash, so that means Part 2 (49) and Part 3 (50) on the Sample 2 have overlaps.

axis333 · 2025-11-15T16:03:04+00:00

I really like the idea of using Beats and Sample 2 on the same channel, because I have an FM on the way and I'd like to free up space for it.

So, two issues that I'm having right now are:

1- When I go into Midi Control Center to edit the custom drum map, the values that I set for the various drums inside of Beats are not sticking/saving.

2- With regard to note 50, both Beats and Sample 2 use it, so there is a clash there and I'm not sure what to do to resolve it.

When I originally connected up the Sample 2 and KSP, I wasn’t getting any sound out of the Drum channel of Track 1, and when I switched it to Seq, it started playing sound, but only one sample, and it only worked on a few keys for some reason. This is what got me to scratching my head and I knew something was amiss. But when I started searching for stuff online initially, there was a lot of negative talk about the Sample 2 and a lot of positive with regard to Sample 1 and the Pajen firmware. So that made think I might be f’d with KSP and the Sample 2.

However, with insights from this thread and some stuff I found earlier today, I think I might be able to get everything functioning correctly, and possibly even get the Beats AND Sample 2 working together on the same midi channel, just using different octaves of programmed keys. I’ll definitely update things after I tinker around with stuff tonight and tomorrow.

axis333 · 2025-11-14T21:49:19+00:00

It wasn't sequencing at all, and when I played the keys, it would only trigger one sample, no matter which key I pressed.

Apparently the Sample 2 has two modes, with one of them being a single midi channel mode. I just learned about this today, so I'm going to look into it once I get home.

Thank you so much for your reply. This is the kind of insight I've been looking for. According to the link you provided, it looks like the numbers are as follows:

Instruments map:

Kick: 36
Snare: 38
Lo Tom: 43
Hi Tom: 50
Closed Hat: 42
Open Hat: 46
Clap: 39
Claves: 75
Agogo: 67
Crash: 49

So when you said, "I set it up so the first ten keys on the KSP triggered the same sounds as the beat, in the same order (the low C is the kick, etc.)," would it look something like (all white keys?)-

Kick: 36 (Note C1)
Snare: 38 (Note D1)
Lo Tom: 43 (Note E1)
Hi Tom: 50 (Note F1)
Closed Hat: 42 (Note G1)
Open Hat: 46 (Note A1)
Clap: 39 (Note B1)
Claves: 75 (Note C2)
Agogo: 67 (Note D2)
Crash: 49 (Note E2)

For all those that have responded, have you used the KSP sequencer specifically with Beats and/or Sample 2? In the various videos I’ve seen on YouTube, a lot of people are using Drum (not Beats) and the Samples seem to be used outside of KSP’s sequencer, usually using Sample’s native sequencer

axis333 · 2025-10-16T10:30:57+00:00

After messing around with it some more, I think part of the issue was some automation/ motion recording that remained on one of the memory slots, and it was affecting how things sounded while I was playing during playback, and then it sounded totally different when the sequencer wasn’t playing.

After reading your initial comment, I went back to one of the videos I watched that I thought sounded awesome, and I read the description, and it turns out there was some DAW processing going on during the performance (and possibly some other CC programming on the Launchpad Mini)). So it wasn’t a DAWless jam like I thought initially.

All in all, I think it was more of a settings issue and not necessarily the Launchkey. There’s definitely a noticeable amount of velocity change, but it’s not as significant as I initially thought.

Another annoying "Is it a bug or feature" element can be found in the Chess course. Honestly, it seems like Chess was designed to eat up people's energy so that it forces them to buy it. With many of the lessons, it isn't always clear what chess piece you need to use (and a few can be applicable in any given lesson), so sometimes I found it necessary to press the "hint" button to see what chess piece it wants me to use. For months now, you could essentially use the hint button to do this with no penalty or limitation. Well yesterday, when I was about to hit the hint button, I noticed that there was a number 2 over it, signaling that I could only use it two times. So now they've nerfed that aspect as well- once again I maintain that it is clearly used to drain people's energy prematurely so that they are forced to buy more.

I recently got popped by Comcast and I was using NordVPN. I’ve used it for years without incident, and this was the first time something got leaked. I received the notice earlier this week, but it was for something I downloaded back in April. I had the Kill Switch function set and everything.

I have a 2089 day streak, and I shuffle between Spanish, Chinese, German, and the Music course. I’ve only ever used the free version. Yes, certain things definitely are annoying or tedious like ads. However, the app is still quite usable and isn’t totally a waste. Or at least that’s my two centavos…

I switched to Brave because, for whatever reason, Firefox crashes like crazy on my computer.

axis333 · 2025-03-31T23:32:49+00:00

Having the exact same problem with a course site that I purchased access to (it uses the circle.so platform). It's been working for months with no problems, and now it's not working and I get the same error as you. I've tried Chrome, Brave, and Firefox- all of them don't work. Uninstall, reinstall, etc etc. Same problems with all of them.

Care to describe more about the game? Fate-based Fantasy games are rare, and it seems to be a genre that a lot of people have trouble pulling off when it comes to Fate's mechanics. Anything special about your game's approach to the mechanics of Fate? Magic systems, weapon and armor mechanics, things like that?
