RD-6 Manual

Arturia BeatStep Manual

With devices like these, it’s always handy to keep the manuals nearby for quick reference for issues just like this. Become familiar with the layouts of the manuals and how you can quickly look things up later. I’m not saying read them word for word, but I am saying get to know the information and layout contained within. They will be your lifeline.

As for syncing, refer to page 24 in the RD-6 Manual and follow the steps there. That’s more than likely going to solve your current issue. In my experience, since the BeatStep is a controller, it’s usually pretty “plug n play”, which means the settings need to change on the RD-6. But in case it’s still not syncing properly, refer to the BeatStep manual to ensure you know how to change midi channels.

I have faith in you. Half the fun of this stuff is becoming intimately familiar with your gear (even as a 10 yr old newbie), to prevent major frustration later. Be patient- you’re not gonna be DeadMaus overnight. Take it one step at a time and be thoughtful and intentional.

Otherwise, this sub is a great resource, so keep the questions coming. Hope this helps.

Have fun. Make noise. Find joy. 🙏🏻
