About this product
The Arturia KeyStep Sequencer is a 32-key keyboard controller with MIDI, USB, CV, and Gate connectivity. It features a sequencer mode, sustain hold button, and chord play mode. Analog signal path, compact design (20.8 x 2.99 x 6.92 inches), and 10.45 lbs weight. Suitable for live sound, DJ setups, and studio recording. Includes one pedal input.
Our take
The Arturia KeyStep is a fantastic little sequencer/keyboard controller. The 32 synth-style keys are responsive, and the built-in sequencer is intuitive for creating patterns. I love the CV/Gate outputs for controlling modular gear—it's a gateway to analog synthesis. The chord mode is fun for live jams. However, the keys are small and not velocity-sensitive, which limits expressiveness. Also, no aftertouch. For $110, it's a powerful tool for sequencing and controlling hardware.
