I didn’t see Behringer in the list of compatibility.
Thanks in advance!
OMG DON’T DO THAT!! I tried the behringer with the 8-step and it does not work, they are not compatible.
The BOSS PS-5 did the trick for me, that is the only compatible BOSS pitch shifter. The PS-6 is a newer version and is not compatible, for whatever reason.
Another option is the EHX pitchfork. At the time of me posting on this thread, the pedal was still not released, but now I would say it’s the safest option. Same brand as the 8-step and people say it has nice tracking.
I know this two options are not as affordable as the Behringer one, it’s a bummer, but if you are lucky you may find a used PS-5 for a good price. I ended up spending many hours with it, It’s super fun either if you plug the 8-step or not.
I hope I helped you out, I’ll be happy to answer if you have more questions.I use the 8 step on a BOSS PS-3. It’s one of my favorite pedal combos.
then I need to get hold of one, thanks for sharing!

mikelbengoetxeaMemberQuote:I need help with the 8 step…kind of sorry that I bought it now, explain to me as basic as possible to connect to it…I was watching the videos and I do not own any other EH pedals…so I have to now buy an expression pedal now..I’m confused..seriousy thinking about returning itI think I got the solution, because I have the same problem as you. The 8-step program doesn’t need an expression pedal, it is an expression pedal. That means that you use it to control certain parameters. I suppose that at first you wanted to program 8 notes to make a melody that repeats over and over again. If that’s correct, the parameter we need to control is pitch. I’ve been searching pedals with pitch parameter that can be controlled by an expression pedal and the cheapest one I found is Behringer US600 ultra shifter/harmonist. You connect the 8-step into the CV input of that pedal and have fun!! I’ll leave you a link to the pedal’s website, and a video where the pitch is controlled by an expression pedal (not the 8 step program, but I think you’ll get the idea)

EDIT: I WAS WRONG. IT DOES NOT WORK. The Boss PS-5 worked for me. (not the ps-6, not compatible)
