Arturia KeyStep MIDI Keyboard Controller in Black

For those of you wanting more than just a simple MIDI Keyboard, there's the awesome Arturia Keystep - a 32-key USB Keyboard, MIDI Controller, Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator with CV Out functionality! 

Despite it's array of functions, the Arturia Keystep comes at a price accessible for everyone, and for a limited time only is available in a Black finish.

Includes sequencer, arpeggiator, CV out & much more

This powerful little multi-purpose tool is a must-have for both live and studio sequencing.  It combines the functionalities of a keyboard controller with a polyphonic step sequencer that works on both analog and digital devices, CV out for your analogue synths & many more great features.

Let's look at some situations where the Arturia Keystep would be ideal:

• You need a portable USB MIDI controller, but also want a keyboard that provides a truly musical playing experience
• You already have some MIDI modules that you'd like to connect as well, but don't want the footprint of a large keyboard
• You have both modular & analogue gear that you want to control via CV/GATEs
• You'd like a step sequencer with polyphonic capabilities that is able to sync to both modern and vintage gear

That's right, the KeyStep can do all of those things, and more!

Slim Key Keyboard Action

The Arturia-designed "slim key" keyboard action balances the very best features of compact mini-keys with the musicality of a full-sized keyboard.  With the size, velocity and aftertouch housed in this design, you get the freedom of portability without sacrificing any playability.

Polyphonic Step Sequencer

With 8 programmable memories accessible at the turn of a control knob, and precise control over gate times and swing settings, the Arturia-designed Polyphonic Step Sequencer is a perfect addition to this controller.  You can dynamically alter the feel of your performance on the fly, or record, overdub and transpose your sequences in real time whilst STILL playing the keyboard live!

In addition to these fun features, you also get a flexible & fun arpeggiator mode, and a chord play mode to keep you occupied for hours.  Even if this was all you got, you'd still have arguably the best portable keyboard controller on the market.  But the fun doesn't stop there, as you also get a wealth of connectivity options, such as:

• USB MIDI
• Standard MIDI I/O
• Clock sync & DIN syn jacks
• CV/GATE outputs (plus a separate, assignable modulation CV output)

The Arturia KeyStep has been designed to be the modern musician's "trump-card".  Regardless of what your setup is, the KeyStep would merge into it seemlessly, boosting both your workflow and effectiveness.  The range of connections available to you is second to none, whether it be for modern, vintage, digital or analog synth's.

Available in black for a limited time only, so get one now whilst stocks last!
