The sequencer the world has been waiting for. KeyStep Pro gives keyboard players incredible sequencing and performance power in a compact, versatile controller. An all-in-one sequencing solution, take full control of your modular rigs, outboard synths, and software studio all at the same time.
If you prefer keys to pads, you’re in for a treat. KeyStep Pro features a great-feeling 3 octave keyboard with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. Letting you fully articulate your musical ideas, this expressive little sequencer truly puts the power at your fingertips. KeyStep Pro works the way you want it to, and removes the barriers between you and the music you want to create.
Arturia's sequencers can be seen all over the world, and are loved by top artists, studios, and amateur producers alike. KeyStep Pro makes gigging easy and fun, with instant and intuitive access to inspiring performance features. Multi-mode arpeggiator, randomness, easy chord mode, and real-time recording for creating on the fly. The crisp OLED displays and LED-illuminated controls will help you see it all in the dark, too!
The KeyStep Pro features 4 independent sequencers, controlling whatever synth, module, or drum machine you want. 16 patterns per track, each sequencer pattern can be up to 64 steps long, and contain 16 notes per step. This coupled with the ability to link up to 16 patterns together to create whole songs or sections of your set, means it's a powerful studio centre piece. You can also save Scenes, snapshots of all the sequences within a pattern, letting you instantly switch between sets of sequences. As well as Projects, everything in one place. Load, duplicate, tweak, edit, and save for later in its onboard memory. Great for live performance!
