Here comes the Keystepper

The Arturia Keystep is a highly versatile and portable controller that seamlessly adapts to both digital and analogue setups. The Keystep boasts an impressive range of features, including Arturia's own Slimkey keybed with velocity and aftertouch, a fully fledged MIDI step-sequencer and arpeggiator for both hardware and DAW environments, and CV/Gate outputs which allow the Keystep to directly communicate with analogue synthesizers, modular systems, and drum machines.

Control and creativity

As mentioned above, the Arturia Keystep packs three devices into one: A master keyboard, a step sequencer, and an eight-preset arpeggiator. The Keystep can store up to eight sequences of up to 64 steps, to which chords can be easily assigned thank to its eight-voice polyphony. What is more, Arturia has given special attention to live performance ergonomics: Sequences be easily created and modified on the fly, with very intuitive control over note length and swing level – and most manipulations can be performed while the sequencer is active, thus ensuring seamless transitions during the performance. The Keystep also features a transport panel with tap tempo capabilities, capacitive-touch pitch bend and modulation wheels, and even a sustain pedal input.

Connectivity at heart

Connectivity and efficiency are where the Arturia Keystep truly shines: It is compatible with practically all existing synthesizers, whether analogue or digital, hardware or software, and can effectively pilot complex hybrid electronic setups. It features both DIN and USB MIDI ports, for communication with virtual instruments as well as hardware synthesizers. The CV/Gate outputs (Gate out, Pitch CV out, and Modulation out), send pitch and gate signals along with velocity, aftertouch, or modulation ribbon signals to any analogue instrument or modular system, and can also serve as a MIDI/CV converter. The Keystep also offers many advanced MIDI settings as well as customisable editing options, allowing each user to further "tweak" his or her performance.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

A bridge between two worlds

Users should not be deceived by its "pocket keyboard" appearance, because the Arturia Keystep is a miniature powerhouse in disguise! Its 32 keys are equally at ease with the virtual instruments of a DAW as they are with hardware synthesizers, and its CV/Gate outputs bridge the world of MIDI with that of modular analogue synths. The intuitive nature of the built-in sequencer, the depth control made available, and the awesome connectivity allow new levels creativity to be reached, and all with amazing simplicity. This "pocket keyboard" punches way above its weight!
