Arturia Keystep Portable MIDI Keyboard Controller & Sequencer

Arturia KeyStep

The Arturia KeyStep is a compact MIDI keyboard that combines the functionalities of a MIDI controller with a polyphonic step sequencer.

Keystep: Portable, Yet Powerful

Designed to fit into any setup, the KeyStep offers both portability and powerful features to enhance any producer's workflow. With MIDI, CV/Gate, and Sync connectivity, it seamlessly connects with almost any external hardware or software. Create polyphonic sequences in your DAW, sync with a modular drum machine via CV, and play melodies on an outboard analogue synth simultaneously.

Inspiring Features

Loaded with features to spark creativity, the KeyStep allows you to build polyphonic, evolving sequences up to 8 notes deep and 64 steps long. Connect virtually any electronic instrument and explore new possibilities in the studio.

Polyphonic Step Sequencer

The KeyStep’s polyphonic step sequencer includes 8 programmable memories that can be easily recalled with a knob turn. Adjust gate times, swing settings, and the overall feel of your performance instantly. Record, overdub, and transpose sequences in real-time while playing the keyboard live.

Inputs & Outputs

The KeyStep excels as a portable controller with comprehensive connectivity options, including USB MIDI, MIDI I/O, Clock Sync, DIN sync, and CV/Gate outputs. It also features a separate, assignable modulation CV output, which works alongside the mod wheel, velocity, and aftertouch. The KeyStep comes with 4 CV/Gate cables, allowing you to connect your synths, modules, and drum machines straight out of the box.

Included Software

Completing the package, the Arturia KeyStep includes a copy of Ableton Live Lite. With its hands-on workflow, time-stretching, pitch-shifting functions, and a range of studio-quality effects, you'll be ready to produce and release professional-quality tracks in no time.
