ARTURIA KEYSTEP-BK 32-key mini black keyboard

The KeyStep is a portable instrument that combines the functionality of a controller keyboard with the added benefit of a polyphonic step sequencer and the ability to control analog and digital devices.

The KeyStep's keyboard boasts a special design, balancing the features of the best compact mini-keys with the comfort of full-size keys. The size, velocity and aftertouch of this new design offer the freedom of portability without sacrificing playability.

The polyphonic step sequencer features 8 programmable memories that you can recall with a rotary encoder. You can choose threshold times and swing parameters instantly and change your sequence performance on the fly. You can also record, stack (overdub) and transpose sequences in real time, while still playing the keyboard live.

These features alone would already make the KeyStep the best portable controller keyboard, but it still harbors a wealth of options and connectivity: USB Midi, Midistandard I/O, Clock Sync, sync DIN jacks, and CV/gate outputs, plus an assignable CV modulation output-which can be used with the modulation wheel, velocity, or aftertouch.

Whatever your setup, the KeyStep integrates seamlessly into your production workflow. With the KeyStep and its wealth of connections, you're in control and creative.
