Arturia Keystep Pro 5-stars Reviews

Brilliant Keyboard

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

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!

The perfect Midi Controller!

This is an amazing midi keyboard and controller that can literally do anything you asks for! From sequences and arpeggiations pluss ability to controll your DAW, pluss CV GATE outputs, its the complete midi keyboard that will be in the center of your studio! Also one thing that you dont read often in the manual and people dont talk about it is that this keyboard have the ability to convert from USB midi to CV/GATE automatically if you connect the CV/GATE to euroracks and the USB cable to your computer, so then you can play midi back to the Keystep Pro and the keyboard will automatically convert the signal to CV GATE. Impressive! I really reccomend this product!

amazing controlling keyboard

so much functions jammed in this keyboard. I use it for my desktop synths and eurorack modules and it works great and featured a lot of functions, more then I can describe/ very recommend

Opens up new opportunities for old gear

A fantastic addition to most setups, with the ability to control almost anything with MIDI or CV. The four tracks give you room to breathe, and allows you to sequence an entire song on the Keystep alone.

Very dynamic device!

After a couple of weeks using the Keystep, I think this device is a very practical one for both production and live performance. Its sequencer is an absolute highlight, with the possibility of randomizing your melodies. It really adds versatility to whatever synth you plug it in.
