All in all, despite the lack of proper DAW transport controls, the Keystep is in a class of its own in terms of quality,build, and most importantly, play-ability

I thought I read somewhere that the sequencer buttons could be mapped to work as DAW transport control, but nope

Secondly, the ‘Stop’ button (one of four buttons controlling the seq/arp functions) permanently glows bright white like a 3000 gigawatt lamp

n’t like: none of the controls are re-assignable,
