Arturia Keystep 4-stars Reviews

high quality feel

this midi controller does what is claims, overall good build and functionality, however mind that the keys are a little heavy

Best small midi keyboard

Full sized midi din, almost 3 octaves and after many gigs, still works without a problem! Good size for hand luggage! Very happy with this build, I had previous mini versions which were all bad.

Negative: I have no use for the arpeggiator, wish they had 3 midi controllable encoders and buttons instead. I prefer usb type B socket instead of mini usb.

Usb port is rather flimsy

One of the cheapest midi controllers you can find on the market. There are no complaints about the quality of the keys, but:

1. USB port is rather flimsy, after six months of use it can jump out from the slightest movement of the keyboard

2. I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube, but still did not understand how to make the faders work in a DAW ( If you know please contact me [email protected])

Very fun and easy to work with, i'm still learling and having a lot of fun and gaining experience every day :)

does the job

very interesting tool to explore and get creative with arpeggios, sequence mode. too little for my fingers.

Great midi keyboard

Arturia Keystep is great for connecting to analog synths (like my Behringer Model D). Very compact tool. The keys are compact, but have good velocity. In my opinion, the biggest disadvantage of this keyboard is that it has onboard encoders for the arpeggiator, but moreover, none of them can be assigned in the DAW. Why was it impossible to make at least a couple of twists for the DAW?

Well, also in the keyboard is a mega-idiotic pitch band and a modulation bar. They are good for nothing. Why didn't you make classic wheels? Fail!

Must have

Does great job, if quality was better i should rate it at 5 stars.

My first key after an year stops working and it just because de key pcb board has no screw on left side of it, to get correctly stand, i put a sticky sponge under the pcb and it works fine now.

great product for the price. The seq and the arp. functions are very nice. Highly recommended to use 2 or more A Keystep together. Enjoy!

Simply Great

I use it in a home studio set up,I was looking for a midi controller,plus this has a sequencer build in, which has proved very useful,doing double duties.I am very happy with this controller/sequencer,reasons why.

1.Compact and portable

2.Well built

3.Keys feel fab

4.I love the sequencer: step,live record,transpose, chord,gate and swing plus my favorite random

My only criticism would be, it?s a pity they did not include some knobs,especially as there is space for them on the front panel.I wouldn?t t hesitate to recommend,it looks and feels good,with great features,which are easy to figure out and it?s s great fun to use,with very interesting results.

Light-weighted, concrete, stable

Nice controller with multiple functions like midi in/out, sequencer, arpeggiator..... etc. The only thing I don't like is the pitch bend and mod bend. I still prefer the traditional pitch wheel.
