Arturia KeyStep mk2 32-Note Keyboard Sequencing Controller
Arturia’s KeyStep mk2 32-Note Keyboard Sequencing Controller is the compact creative hub that lets you play, program and perform without limits. Combining a premium Slimkey keyboard with an advanced polyphonic sequencer, deep arpeggiator and unrivalled CV/MIDI/USB connectivity, it bridges every piece of your studio.
Compact control, expansive creativity
Firstly, the 32-note Slimkey keybed feels like a full instrument, responding to every nuance with velocity and aftertouch. Moreover, capture ideas in an 8-voice, 64-step sequencer, then reshape them on the fly with real-time overdub, mutation and pattern chaining. Need instant movement? Dial in one of 16 arpeggiator modes, add Spice & Dice and watch melodies evolve organically.
Hardware & software, perfectly connected
Whether you are piloting modular rigs, vintage synths or modern plug-ins, KeyStep mk2 talks to them all. Four assignable CV/Gate outs handle pitch, gate, velocity or modulation. Also, full-size MIDI DIN keeps classic hardware in sync, and USB-C delivers class-compliant control to any DAW or iPad®. Additionally, a 3.5 mm Sync I/O port even locks drum machines and grooveboxes to your master clock.
Designed for performance
An OLED screen and clickable encoder place deep editing at your fingertips, while RGB LEDs, capacitive pitch/mod strips and dedicated Gate, Spice & Dice sliders turn live tweaking into an expressive artform. Low-power USB operation means fewer cables on stage, and bundled Analog Lab Intro & Ableton Live Lite get you creating straight out of the box.
