Here’s what Arturia say about the Keystep…
KeyStep is a new breed of portable musical tool combining the functionalities of a keyboard controller with a polyphonic step sequencer to control both analog and digital devices.
You need a portable USB MIDI controller but also want a keyboard that provides a musical playing experience? You have some MIDI modules you want to connect as well but don’t want the footprint of a large keyboard? You have modular and analog gear you want to control via CV/GATEs? You want a step sequencer with polyphonic capability that can sync to your favorite modern and vintage gear? If only a single piece of gear could do all of this…
The KeyStep controller does all this and more.
We started by designing our own “slim key” keyboard action, balancing the best features of compact mini-keys with the musicality of full-sized keys into this new keybed. The size, velocity and aftertouch of this new design provide the freedom of portability without sacrificing playability.
We also designed a new polyphonic step-sequencer with 8 programmable memories that you can recall at the turn of knob. You can choose gate times and swing settings instantly to change the feel of your sequenced performance on the fly. We also included the ability to record, overdub, and transpose your sequences in real time and still play the keyboard live.
Add a flexible and fun arpeggiator mode and chord play mode and you are set for hours of musical adventures.
…and the possibilities
These features alone would make KeyStep the best portable keyboard controller on the market. But we take it further by giving you a wealth of connectivity options: USB MIDI (of course), standard MIDI in and out (check), clock sync and DIN sync jacks (yes!), and CV/GATE outputs, plus a separate, assignable modulation CV output that can be used with the mod wheel, velocity or aftertouch. To say KeyStep is an amazing little controller does not say enough.
Keystep is the perfect performance controller in a compact package.
Adapts to your setup!
KeyStep was imagined and designed to become the modern musician’s trump-card.
Whatever your setup, KeyStep will merge into it to overdrive your workflow and effectiveness. With KeyStep and its range of connections you can control any digital or analog synthesizer from the past, today and even tomorrow. Sequence them all!

Arturia is a French company renowned for its innovative contributions to the music technology industry, particularly in synthesizers, software instruments, and MIDI controllers.

In recent years, Arturia has expanded its product range to include hardware synthesizers such as the **MicroFreak**, **MiniBrute**, and **MatrixBrute**, each offering distinctive features and sound design capabilities. Their **KeyLab** and **MiniLab** MIDI controllers are popular choices for live performers and studio producers alike, combining intuitive control with solid build quality.

Compact
A compact synthesizer is a smaller, more streamlined synth designed to be portable and space-efficient without sacrificing essential features and sound quality. These synthesizers are typically built to have a reduced footprint, making them easier to carry around or fit into limited studio or stage setups. Despite their size, compact synths often include a versatile range of sounds and functions, such as multiple oscillators, filters, effects, and sometimes even sequencers or arpeggiators. They are ideal for musicians or producers looking for a capable instrument that can be easily transported or fit onto a crowded desk or stage rig.
Compact synths might feature mini keys, knob-based controls, or even touch interfaces to maximize usability within a small form factor. Popular examples include the Korg microKORG, Roland Boutique series, and Arturia MicroFreak. They are designed to balance functionality with convenience, offering musicians a way to explore creative ideas without requiring a full-sized, heavyweight synthesizer. These compact designs are often well-suited for live performers, travelling musicians, and home studio producers who want a versatile instrument without taking up too much space.
Keyboard
A music keyboard is a versatile musical instrument consisting of a set of keys or buttons that produce different pitches when pressed. Keyboards come in various forms, including acoustic pianos, electric pianos, synthesizers, and MIDI controllers. They allow musicians to play melodies, harmonies, and chords with ease, making them fundamental tools in a wide range of musical genres and settings. Keyboards often feature additional controls such as knobs, sliders, and buttons for manipulating sound parameters, and they can be connected to other devices like computers or sound modules for expanded functionality. Whether used for classical, pop, jazz, or electronic music, the keyboard’s intuitive layout and expressive capabilities make it an essential component of modern music production and performance.
New
This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.
It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.
Polyphonic
This synthesiser supports polyphonic playback, allowing you to play multiple notes simultaneously. With its ability to create lush chords and complex harmonies, it’s ideal for composing rich textures in your music. Whether you’re crafting intricate soundscapes or layering parts for a full arrangement, the polyphonic capabilities ensure your sound remains vibrant and dynamic.
Sequencer
A sequencer is a device or software application used to record, edit, and playback musical sequences or patterns. These sequences typically consist of MIDI data or other musical information such as note values, velocities, and timing. Sequencers allow users to create complex musical arrangements by arranging and manipulating these sequences, adjusting parameters like tempo, time signature, and quantization. They are widely used in music production, composition, and live performance, providing a flexible and intuitive tool for crafting intricate rhythms, melodies, and harmonies. Sequencers come in various forms, including hardware units, software plugins, and integrated features within digital audio workstations (DAWs), offering musicians and producers a powerful platform for creative expression and experimentation.
