Hello,

Please excuse my overall ignorance of all things synth if this is a completely stupid question but here goes-

I've got a sub phatty which is pretty much the greatest thing in the world. I recently picked up an Arturia Beatstep on the cheap to use as a sequencer for it. I should state that I don't really like integrating a computer into my setup either and haven't done so yet. I'd like to hook up the Beatstep to the sub phatty without using my laptop.

So I'm just a bit miffed about how to do this exactly- I know I'll need some 1/8th to 1/4 inch adapters but not sure which kind-I though the CV and KB inputs on the sub were expression pedal type inputs in that they would need a two ring tip cable? So would I need a two ring 1/8th inch to two ring 1/4 inch adapter?

Also seems I've read some stuff about the voltages being maybe too much for some of the arturia products for the the moog jacks-but his may have just been with the Beatstep Pro.

Any help or clues much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Krunktopher!
You probably want to connect the Beatstep to the Sub Phatty using a MIDI cable from the Beatstep OUT to the Sub Phatty IN. Set the Sub Phatty to MIDI Channel 1 because the Beatstep will always default to MIDI Channel 1 (it is buggy and will occasionally reset to default on its own). No computer required.

Huh Oh ok, no control voltage hookups required then for sequencing? Thanks for your help MoogProg, I will give it a try.

There is a update for the BeatStep. It helped.
