Arturia has announced worldwide availability of the newest member of the Arturia Step family. The previously announced KeyStep Pro gives keyboard players incredible sequencing and performance power in a compact, versatile controller.
The 37-key MIDI controller and multi-channel polyphonic sequencer features 4 independent polyphonic sequencer tracks, 16-part integrated drum sequencer, intuitive controls that make even complex performances a breeze and unparalleled connectivity.
It will allow musicians to take full control of their modular rigs, outboard synths, and software studio all at the same time. The 4 independent polyphonic sequencer tracks give you full control over your instruments, and Track 1 can also function as a 16-part integrated drum sequencer. It’s incredibly intuitive, has unparalleled connectivity, and promises to make even complex performances a breeze.
If you prefer keys to pads, you’ll love KeyStep Pro. It sports a great-feeling 3 octave keyboard with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. Letting you fully articulate your musical ideas, this expressive little sequencer truly puts your whole music-making ecosystem at your fingertips.
