In this video, I fix my BeatStep Pro. I love this sequencer and have used it quite heavily for almost eight years, but it's time to give it a little TLC. Please LIKE and Subscribe if you find this video useful :)
I am not affiliated with Arturia in any way. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. You do not need to get new pads to fix this issue, you can swap your existing pads. If you don't care about the labels, it just might work. Most of this is just a guess, so those of you who know more about the technical aspects that I blunder, please please please comment.
I live streamed the first disassembly through first test with @EarthModularSociety Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN2Ouxvyfs4&t=1261s

* I misspoke, I have not been gigging with this BSP for eight years, but I have been using it heavily since 2017.
* Arturia knew I was opening this BSP, but I do not know what they think of me making a video about it.
* Background music is Simulacra from my new album No Light Things.
