Explore the innovative realm of music production with the KeyStep 32-Note Slimkey Portable Keyboard Controller and Sequencer, a sleek and stylish instrument that redefines the portable keyboard experience. Designed by the renowned brand Arturia, this professional-grade controller seamlessly blends the functionalities of a keyboard with a powerful polyphonic step sequencer, offering unparalleled control over both analog and digital devices.
Crafted for musicians who demand a musical playing experience without the bulk of a traditional keyboard, the KeyStep boasts a custom-designed "slim key" keybed. This unique feature strikes the perfect balance between the compact nature of mini-keys and the expressive capabilities of full-sized keys, ensuring a responsive and satisfying performance. With velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, this keybed delivers the freedom of portability without compromising on playability.
The KeyStep is not just a controller; it's a creative powerhouse. It features a new polyphonic step-sequencer with 8 programmable memories, easily accessible with a simple turn of a knob. Musicians can instantly choose gate times and swing settings to alter the feel of their sequenced performance dynamically. The ability to record, overdub, and transpose sequences in real-time, while still playing the keyboard live, offers a level of flexibility that is essential for modern music production.
Enhance your compositions with the built-in arpeggiator mode and chord play mode, designed to fuel hours of musical exploration. The KeyStep's connectivity options are vast, including USB MIDI, standard MIDI in and out, clock sync, and DIN sync jacks, along with CV/GATE outputs. An additional, assignable modulation CV output can be used with the mod wheel, velocity, or aftertouch, making the KeyStep a versatile tool for any setup.
The KeyStep is engineered to be the ultimate performance controller in a compact package, adapting effortlessly to your existing setup. Whether you're controlling vintage synths, modern digital instruments, or anything in between, the KeyStep integrates seamlessly, enhancing your workflow and creative potential.
For analog enthusiasts, the three CV outputs send pitch, gate signals, and a mod ribbon signal to control analog instruments or modules. The MIDI DIN output controls any MIDI hardware instrument, while the USB connection manages plugins and virtual instruments. A sustain pedal socket, sync input and output, and MIDI input further expand the KeyStep's capabilities, allowing for a sustain pedal connection, clock signal synchronization, and use as a MIDI to CV converter.
Never before has a portable keyboard controller incorporated such an extensive array of features. With a 32-slimkey keybed, an 8-mode arpeggiator, and a polyphonic sequencer capable of up to 64 steps with 8 notes per step, the KeyStep empowers you to take full control of your instruments and unleash your creativity.
Perform with confidence, knowing that the KeyStep is designed for spontaneity and immediacy, perfect for live conditions. Real-time sequence rewriting, smart sequence-swapping function, and the ability to play and sequence simultaneously cater to the needs of live artists, offering an unprecedented magnitude to your performances.
In Sequencer mode, record, play, and transpose intricate polyphonic sequences. The Arpeggiator mode creates complex melodies with various playing directions and time divisions. As a Controller, the KeyStep stands tall among larger keyboards with its responsive pitch and modulation capacitive ribbons, and the capability to control nearly any type of synthesizer via MIDI and CV.
Embrace the KeyStep 32-Note Slimkey Portable Keyboard Controller and Sequencer, and elevate your musical journey with a device that is as versatile as it is portable.
