I read about bugs like this (https://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=88274.0) but the firmware for Keystep has not been updated in two years.
This makes me very hesitant about buying Arturia hardware.

I want to know about the source of the content.

Disappointing to see it not get some extra features, not sure it would stop me buying the hardware but i strike against for sure.

Maybe the product performs as intended after the last firmware update?
In my setup, the Keystep behaves as I have intended it to behave when I bought it:
a MIDI/CV/gate capable controller keyboard with arp and seq, in a nice form factor.
You can always want for more functionality with keys/knob combos through firmware updates,
but for this price it does pretty much do what it was set out to do when I bought it : control my keyless semimodulars :)
Extra functionality at no extra cost seems to me a bit asking too much from the devs, for free.
Firmware updates to iron out bugs should always be free, but upgrades to the hardware without a slight cost?
That's debatable.

No, it doesn't, try using it as a MIDI slave and you will understand. I use the earlier firmware to get proper start/stop action that's how bad it is.

it just shows about arturias company/customer politics,
that after various suggestions
for functionalty and stable workflow,
theres no other update available.
reminds of other bígger players in the buisiness.. (R....)

Well put. I have reported this MIDI bug twice now since 2016 and still no movement. Moog would have had this fixed in a day.
