No, and by the time they ship it Arturia might already have a MKII version out

That's unfortunate. Are there any good reasons for it stated by Arturia, or is it one of those silent treatment situations?

I didn't order from Arturia directly, but a local shop. Who knows when they will receive a shipment and how many others have pre-ordered as well...

Big step up in build quality compared with the original Keystep. Easy operation. I haven't gone deep at all with it so far - mainly using it as a master keyboard for making sounds. What I really like so far is that you can re-order the order of the notes in a pattern with a simple shift-button press, which often gives an interesting alternative take on what you recorded.

I know that there is lots of moaning about bugs over at Gearslutz, but I haven't run into any showstoppers yet and I'm thinking of getting a second one. Really like it.

Did you have any timing issues? How do you connect the KSP? It seems like most of the issues over at gearslutz are somehow related to USB-Midi...

I haven't tried that to be honest. I am using it with USB yes, but mainly as a master keyboard. If the guys at Gearslutz says there is a latency it probably is. I'm using it so far on a very simple level.

I need a black model.
And a Keystep Pro Professional with more tracks.

God how much I love this little thing

I haven't read anything other speculative comments. I hope that they do. I find that 4 tracks on the Keystep Pro is limited and I have to sync my digitakt to it to get more sequencing channels. The digitakt has 8 sequencing channels but it is really optimized for beats. i'd really like to use just one workflow and not have to clock another device. Bring on the MK II - 8 channels would do with 2 of the 6 optimized for beats.
