The Arturia KeyStep is a compact 32-key controller and polyphonic step-sequencer rolled into one powerful performance tool. Newly-designed slim keys offer up a perfect middle ground between other "mini" keybeds and full-sized keys, making for an ultra-comfortable playing experience while remaining portable. While they could have stopped there, Arturia packed in a ton of advanced features and I/O, including a 64-step polyphonic sequencer, Chord Play and arpeggiator functions, capacitive pitch and mod strips with no moving parts, and CV, MIDI, and DIN Sync capabilities. Connect the KeyStep to any and all new digital and classic analog synths and unleash the true potential of your rig.
