Description
The Arturia Keystep MK2 is ideal for producers performers and synth enthusiasts looking for expressive control in a compact controller. Its 32-note Slimkey keyboard responds to both velocity and aftertouch giving detailed dynamic control during performance. Built-in Chord and Scale modes make harmonic exploration simple while pitch and modulation touch strips allow real-time expression. The OLED display and central encoder keep navigation clear and fast. The Keystep MK2s polyphonic sequencer lets users record patterns chain them into full arrangements and transform them in real time. The 16-mode arpeggiator and Mutate function introduce fresh rhythmic and melodic variations at the touch of a button. With USB-C full-size MIDI DIN Sync I/O and four assignable CV outputs this controller integrates easily with DAWs hardware synths and modular rigs. Included software such as Analog Lab Intro and Ableton Live Lite provides immediate tools for music creation. Expressive play in a compact form The 32-note Slimkey keyboard provides a responsive and natural playing experience while remaining small enough for tight setups. Each key senses both velocity and aftertouch allowing subtle control of dynamics and modulation. Chord and Scale modes simplify harmony building while pitch and mod strips add smooth performance gestures. The shallow profile ensures the controller sits comfortably among other studio or live equipment without taking unnecessary space. Create and evolve musical ideas The Keystep MK2 acts as both a controller and an idea generator. Its step sequencer supports real-time or step-time recording with rests ties and multiple voices per step. Patterns can be chained into longer sections or instantly reshaped using the Mutate feature which produces new variations from existing material. The built-in arpeggiator provides sixteen creative modes allowing continuous experimentation and spontaneous melodic development. Seamless hardware and software integration Comprehensive connectivity allows the Keystep MK2 to act as the centre of any setup. USB-C provides MIDI and power in one connection while standard MIDI DIN and Sync I/O handle drum machines or vintage instruments. Four CV outputs (Pitch Gate Mod 1 and Mod 2)are freely assignable for controlling modular or analogue gear with precision. The sustain and expression pedal inputs add another layer of control for expressive performances. Portable and performance ready Designed for flexibility the Keystep MK2 combines portability with professional control. The bright OLED display and tactile encoder make adjustments quick and intuitive while performance sliders and transport buttons offer smooth on-the-fly operation. Its lightweight durable build makes it suitable for both stage and studio use. With its intuitive layout and broad feature set the Keystep MK2 delivers professional-grade control in a compact travel-friendly design.
