Commanding Sequential Power for Any Rig
Fully integrating the appearance and control of the Mk2 line, the KeyStep Mk2 takes Arturia's coveted sequencing formula to impressively modern heights. It all begins with a familiar 32-note Slimkey keybed, complete with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch for maximum sonic expressivity. The KeyStep's notable sequencer and arpeggiator engines remain intact, albeit loaded with one-touch mutation tools, Chord and Scale play modes, and 16 arpeggiation modes that offer more versatile melodic foundations than ever before. Sweetwater producers were quick to note the addition of the Mk2 series’ onboard OLED display and push encoder configuration, making the KeyStep's profound polyphonic sequencing tools even easier to manage on any stage. Finished with an accommodating arsenal of connectivity points, including USB-C MIDI, MIDI DIN In/Out, CV/Gate Out, and Sync I/O connections, rest assured Arturia's 2nd generation KeyStep is primed for integration into your existing rig.
