Keystep : Best keyboard controler for CV's

I'm using the Keystep in addition to the Moog Mother 32 and the Moog DFAM.

The keystep allows you to control other synth's using Midi or CV (which is rare in cotroler synth). It's build with an internal polyphonic sequencer and arpegiator which is compatible with the Moog's.

It's a really robust portable synth, i was amazed by the quality of it.

The midi in and out allows you to sync the Keystep to an external source and then plug it with the midi out to sync another module.

For the CV's you have 3 signals that you can send, a Pitch (which is sending signal from the keys), gate (used to send start and stop signals) and the MOD output whiwh allows you to control other synth (for exemple a VCO) with the touchable mod "wheel" of the Keystep (i use is to control the LFO of the Moog Mother 32 and it's amazing).

When you'll register it on Arturia's website, they will give you a software that can allow you to parameter you midi's outputs, upgrade the firmware and modifying the overall parameters of the Synth.

Nonetheless, i found the sequencer and the ajustable parameters kind of non intuitive, you'll have to read the manual (which is not included but you will find it on Arturia's website) carefully to be able to properly use the Keystep and all it's features.

Exept for that little cons, it's a really great controller, especially if you are using modular synthetisers.
