Arturia Keystep Pro

Brilliant Keyboard

I love all the features on this keyboard, I used for my live performances and music production.

Excellent fun find new uses all the time

There are very few things you can't do with it, and it makes just about everything better and easier. There are some glitches and hiccups but this thing is worth every dollar if you think it's good for how you create.

I've wondered

It is very powerful tool for my life sets.

Too much features which helped to make my sequences so easy. Before Ive used a digitone for it, but keystep is more powerful.

But, don't forget to update a firmware, it is very easy to do

Excellent Midi controller, intuitive and affordable

Brilliant build quality, perfect for bringing on tour. Excellent for controlling multiple hardware at once and easy to use. Software application that pairs with it is also great for easily modifying the controller for CV application and parameters. All at very reasonable and affordable price.

Really useful sequencer for my Eurorack

I was very reticent about buying this and had checked out the Arturia forum and there were lots of complaints (and this was my first hardware Arturia purchase, though do have v7 collection which I do use).

Since the v2 update to the OS, works a treat. Can now record arps and perform group (i.e. tracks 1-4) transposition. Using it only for CV and gate currently, with a synch coming from my Mac via USB midi when I want to record the eurorack modules, and seems pretty tight. Done a couple of weird things occasionally, but on the whole seems fine, though I have not explored all of its features yet.

Few things I would like to see added, like pingpong backwards and forwards sequencing. Fun to create with though. And for generating quick (up to 64 step sequences) for modular, a real fun compositional tool.

Best MIDI Keyboard Sequencer ever for Analog Synthts

I needed a device that it can control various synths at the same time while building up the jam. Keystep Pro has been so far the best tool for me to bring out those sounds! Learning phase was quite quick and after 2 months of playing around I can quickly build a beat or create sequence with the help of chain mode. I hooked 4 different desktop synth (Three Roland boutique units and one rack synth JV 1080, minimal effects with Ableton) . I have to say, everytime when I turn my system on, a great jam is starting! And it just get better until I stop it!

But sadly there few issues I had, mostly syncing problems which I had to fight my way around. I updated fireware and worked my around midi routing but after tweaking around, everything is working now synced nicely! It is also not possible to record the arp mode in to a pattern easily, I find that a pity, maybe it will be fixed in the future updates?

I wish Arturia had released a bigger version of Keystep Pro where you can control more aspects of the sequencer. I have been enjoying this beauty since 2 months but I feel like there is a world to explore with it!

Amazing sequencer

Very nice multitrack polyphonic sequencer

Best for inspiration and creating new sounds

A very easy to use device that makes music production very fast.

It works like a central station that can be easily set with the DAW as a slave or master.

An amazing sequencer and arpeggiator.

Have fun creating melodies and patterns and modulate them with the built-in knobs or work with external instruments and effects!!

Great MIDI Controller

Useful a fairly priced. I really love the integrated sequencer and the tons of features it packs.

As only con may I missed some patch cables in the package but still a great offer.

Will never get rid of this

I've been using the Keystep Pro with a multitude of instruments: Software, new hardware, old/vintage hardware. As long as you can connect it, you'll be able to mess with it. The additional CV outputs just add another cherry on top of this already "sort of modular" workflow of the Keystep Pro.

Once you learn how it works (and once you set it all up with your instruments), it's super easy to get into & just start creating new tracks.

I love that the Keystep Pro doesn't hinder any creativity; it just creates this universal control unit to operate everything else you have. It's great!
