hi everyone i have a midi beatstep … and i’m trying midi controller pro and then buy it … i can configure many things but not the shuttle / wheel … when i capture the midi it generates about 20 raws … .how should I configure ??? should i use it with premiere pro or davinci resolve! thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

I would need to see a log of what is generated by your BeatStep. If the shuttle wheel is programmable (which I don’t remember on the Beatstep), it is probably best to program it for relative values so that it never hits and end point. We could then program it to send keystrokes depending on the direction that you are turning it for Davinci Resolve to use for Zoom In or Zoom out or whatever you want to do with the shuttle wheel. We would need to know what keystrokes Davinci Resolve needs.

Thanks for the reply

how do i create and send a log. ???
with davinci and premiere I would like the shuttle to scroll the timeline back and forth … like with a VCR

Hi,

Open MT Pro and select your Beatstep as your input port
Click on View->Log Window in the MT Pro menu
Check the box “MIDI IN” down on the bottom.
Move your knob
Select the incoming data and Control-C to copy
Paste into a text file (or into your posting) with Control-V

My Beatstep (original is showing the below) which is an Absolute Encoder CC 7

1: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7C
2: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7B
3: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7A
4: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 79
5: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 78
6: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 79
7: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7A
8: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7B
9: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7C
10: MIDI IN [Arturia BeatStep]: B0 07 7D

I have the first model but if you have a Beatstep Pro, maybe it is different. I don’t remember if this knob can be re-programmed but if so try and program it using the Arturia MIDI Control Center to send out a relative value instead. The issue with the above absolute value is that once it hits 127 (turn right) or 0 (turn left), the messages will stop. There are ways to deal with this in MT Pro but it is cleaner if you can have the knob send out something more meaningful in the first place.

You can get the Aurturia MIDI Control Center application from them.

I have confirmed that you can change the controller type to relative with the Aurturia BeatStep using Arturia MIDI Control Center.

I have the same. Please program your encoder for one of the relative type using Arturia MIDI Control Center. Then show me the log and I can assist further.

I am not able … arturia midi control center is a separate program … it does not modify the settings that I can use in MTP

Sure you can. Shut down Midi Translator Pro, open Arturia MIDI Control Center and change the knobs function to relative and save the configuratino to your Beatstep. Then re-open MIDI Translator Pro and then we can program it to accept the relative value and translate to keystrokes that you want.

I did this on mine and it took 5 minutes.

Yes and as you turn left it should output

B0 07 3F

Now what keystrokes do you want for right turn and left turn? Then I can show you how it is done.
