## Description

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.

## Features

- VERSATILITY IS KEY: KeyStep widens the creative potential of your setup! This portable musical tool combines a keyboard controller with a polyphonic step sequencer to control both analog and digital devices. Compatible with synths or keyboards, analog or digital, hardware or software, it’s built for effortless real-time composition and live performance.
- HIGHLY PLAYABLE: Its ‘Slimkey’ keyboard action balances the main features of compact mini-keys with the musicality of full-sized keys, complete with velocity and aftertouch, giving you the freedom of portability without sacrificing playability. You can compose and perform effortlessly with 8 programmable sequence memories, change the feel of your sequences with on-the-fly gate time and swing adjustment, and transpose and overdub in real-time. You are set for hours of musical adventures!
- GO BEYOND SEQUENCING: Each feature has been thought out to match live artists' hopes and needs. In Sequencer mode, you can record, play and transpose a polyphonic sequence with up to 64 steps and 8 simultaneous notes per step. Sequencer mode also allows you to rewrite in real-time your sequence and even to play and sequence simultaneously on two different MIDI channels.
- ARPEGGIATOR AND CHORD MODES: You can also play up to 8-note chord voicings with a single key thanks to Chord mode or create exciting melodies and rhythms in seconds with KeyStep’s flexible 8-mode arpeggiator. It allows you to play each note of a chord consecutively instead of simultaneously.
- ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND SOFTWARE YOU NEED: This MIDI keyboard will communicate with your setup without hassle. With MIDI over USB, MIDI in/out, analog sync in/out, and CV outputs, you can pair it with virtually any instrument! Keystep also comes with all the creative software you need. Make great-sounding tracks in full (Ableton Live Lite), get hundreds of pro-grade synth and key sounds (Analog Lab Intro) and easily edit your MIDI setups and sequences (MIDI Control Center).

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 January 2020*

It is almost perfect. I'm going to give it 5 stars anyway, as 4 isn't enough. The only thing really lacking is more arpeggiator options (adding in more octave ranges, and different rhythms). Aside from that, it is a great controller. I'm going to echo what everyone else has said and say the build quality is surprisingly great. Pictures of it make it look much more plastic and lightweight than it actually is. It's a solid build, very sturdy, and the keys have a slight bit of resistance to them, which helps with velocity in particular.Lots and lots of connectivity options, and you can power this with either your usual 9V FX pedal adapter, or via whatever you'd charge a smartphone with (mains, power bank, computer etc). I think you can even power it via an iPad.I use it to control an Elektron Digitone, and if you're looking for the same thing then I'd recommend this. Very easy to change channels on the fly., and it worked right out of the box with no additional setting up or firmware updating. I feel most controllers are geared towards soft synths (often not even having the 5 pin MIDI sockets) so it's good that this covers all possible connectivity bases as I don't use a computer 90% of the time when I'm writing/performing.£100 doesn't normally buy you something as extensive as this. Great value and highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its everything they say, shame about the packaging glitch and my haste.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 August 2016*

In my haste to get at the Keystep, i accidently tosed aside the enclosed USB cable. This must have been sitting on the surface in a 'clever' recess cut into the packaging. I simply didn't see or hear it as it rolled under my sofa. To make matters worst, believing the usb was missing, I resorted to my own micro usb cables, which it turns out were 'charge only' cables. This meant the device powered up ok, but wasn't recognised as connected to the USB data ports. There are no data lines on charge only cables. Consequently, the Arturia software I downloaded refused to see the Midi device.So there i was disappointed. I had the unit repackaged, with the return label printed. I was all set to return it to Amazon when at the last minute i decided to order a micro usb data sync cable. Well i could wait another day to test this theory. Only after the order was placed did i start rooting around again, to eventually find that missing link.Moral of this story. Slow down. Give Arturia credit for being the professionals they are. Consider all the other possibilities, and maybe, just maybe, you'll stop yourself right at the last minute from making an embarassing mistake. Now lets see, can I cancel that order for that micro usb data sync cable....Now i've had a chance to play around with this the keyboard a quick word about usage. It comes with just about every interfaces you might require. I wont list them all here, but to counter another reviewer it will connect to an iPad. This is done directly through the usb 'camera' kit or indirectly through a powered usb hub. The key thing to bare in mind is the cable from the keyboard must support data ;) and also the app must support midi.Support software is available which you can download from the links provided. There is the latest firmware as well as 'the midi control center' useful to program the built in aprpedggio, although you can get by without the software. The built in 4 bar sequencer works for single notes as well as chords but i didn't find it that intuitive, so help from youtube is advised. There's also the usual Ableton lite which you get via a registration to Arturia.Whether using with a Daw or with other hardware, there are enough interfaces to control most things, from the older devices like moog's CV analog controls, to the latest Korgs and Novation grove boxes. enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spend the extra and get this one instead of a cheaper alternative!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 October 2018*

I'm really pleased with this midi controller. I previously had a cheaper midi controller that I didn't enjoy using so didn't us it much. The keys on this feel really nice to use and don't make your fingers tired after using it for a while like my cheaper controller did (I believe the keys are semi-weighted). The channel aftertouch is a great feature that most mini controllers don't have. Build quality is really nice, it has a metal base and a decent weight to it. I'm using this controller on my desktop with FL Studio 20 and haven't had any issues setting it up. Since I'm using a DAW and don't have any hardware synths I haven't made use of the extra connectivity and on-board sequencing yet, although they seem great to have if I want to expand in the future.I think this controller is great for a home studio, but think it's too big/heavy if you intend to use it on the go with your laptop!
