KeyStep: a new breed of portable musical tool combines a keyboard controller and a polyphonic step sequencer to control both analog & digital devices.
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.
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.
KeyStep is the perfect performance controller in a compact package.

Great compact keyboard controller with built in step sequencer/arpeggiator and control voltage/gate outputs for modular gear. I just use it as a readily accessible keyboard controller that I keep next to my MacBook Pro instead of firing up other bigger keyboards when I don't feel like doing that. The keybed feels really good for a slim key action, and it also has channel aftertouch.

Perfect for midi

I wanted to use the five pin midi out - It worked, then didn’t, then worked , now doesn’t. The control software they provide for Arturia products is not easy to use. Otherwise, build quality is great, it does work through usb.

These are poorly built controllers. After a few weeks the keys stopped making noise. I had to disassemble it to get the contact points to connect, so that the keys could make sound again. Using an online tutorial. So it's a common problem. Once those keys were fixed, now the high C is not working. I have to disassemble again to get that working? FML

The Keystep is a tried and true MIDI controller with a sequencer, pitch bend/mod strips, and arpeggiator. The best bang for your buck at this price. The connectivity options are ample with 5-pin din MIDI in and out. The build quality is excellent. Got this one to control both my Roland MC-101 and TB-3 using a MIDI splitter “Y” cable and it works seamlessly. I highly recommend the Keystep to anyone looking for a MIDI keyboard controller that has a sequencer, pitch bend/mod strips, plus an arpeggiator. Value for money = Yes!

Ich nutze den ARTURIA Keystep vorwiegend zur Eingabe von MIDI-Sequenzen in der DAW von Cubase 13. Dies funktionniert hervorragend. Da ich alles selbst einspiele, nutze ich denn Sequenzer und Appregiator (noch) nicht, und sehe auch derzeit noch keine Notwendigkeit beides einzusetzen. Er nimmt wenig Platz in Anspruch. Die Tasten sind groß genug, die Anschlagdynamik und After Touch sind gut. Das Preis/Leitungsverhältnis ist für mich voll i.O. Ich würde das Teil immer wieder kaufen.

Francamente solo quería un controlador MIDI, y no revisé bien las especificaciones porque en algún lado leí que era bueno, sin duda es excelente, el único pego que podría tener a la larga es el uso de microUSB como puerto de comunicación, fuera de ello todo lo demás es bastante bueno, tenia mis dudas sobre la ausencia de la rueda de Pitch, pero me parece más fácil hasta ahora con esta versión

Me cambié del minilab al keystep y fue la mejor decisión, tiene otras funcionalidades que me sirven más para lo que hago. Soy principiante y creo que es un buen modelo para empezar. Estaba entre este y el M32, pero como ya he probado Arturia y su calidad es excelente, me fui por este. Me gusta que traiga 32 teclas y no 25.

Funktioniert seit dem ersten Tag tadellos, ist qualitativ absolut hochwertig und bringt hübsche Extras, wie Sequencer, Arp und diverse Anschlussmöglichkeiten.Und bisher war es mit jeder Anwendung schnell und reibungslos anwendbar.Damit bin ich stets mobil und habe überall volle Kontrolle. In dieser Preisklasse absolut Top, ich kenne nichts Vergleichbares.

The package was safely wrapped and arrived on time. The MIDI keyboard itself is a fantastic deal for the price. Worth it!

Better than expected. I use this keyboard like a sequencer. The sequencer is amazing. I can use on all my analog gear and i love it. The product is very solid (metal) and the keys are smooth. Very well touch. This sequencer/controller is awesome.
