About this product

Arturia BeatStep is a compact controller and sequencer designed for flexible music production and performance setups. It features a 16-step analog sequencer, sixteen velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads, and sixteen assignable encoders with dual modes for hands-on control of pitch, modulation, and sequence parameters. The device supports multiple pad and sequence modes, allowing MIDI note, CC, Program/Bank, and MMC message output, as well as real-time manipulation of playback, scale, and time division. Connectivity options include MIDI DIN, USB, and CV/Gate for integration with DAWs, hardware synthesizers, and modular systems, while transport buttons provide Start/Stop and MMC functionality and can act as MIDI Clock master or slave. The included sixteen user presets store pad mappings, sequence settings, and encoder assignments, and BeatStep is compatible with iPad apps via a camera connection kit. A Kensington lock port adds physical security for studio and live use.

Features

  • Compact Controller & Sequencer for Studio and Stage

    BeatStep combines a 16-step sequencer and control surface in a portable format, providing hands-on access to pads, encoders, and transport functions. Its compact design fits studio desks or live rigs, allowing you to trigger clips, adjust parameters, or sequence melodic and rhythmic patterns in real time.

  • 16 Pads with Velocity & Pressure Sensitivity

    Sixteen backlit pads respond to velocity and pressure for expressive performances, finger drumming, or clip launching. Pads can also send MIDI notes, Program/Bank changes, CC messages, or MMC commands, giving you real-time control over software instruments, hardware synths, and drum machines.

  • Step Sequencer & Performance Control Tools

    Pads act as step toggles, while 16 encoders adjust pitch per step. Sequence playback, scale modes, and time division options allow live manipulation of patterns, and data encoders let you transpose, modify rates, or recall sequences. Sixteen user presets provide quick access to saved patterns for efficient workflow.

  • Broad Connectivity with MIDI, USB, and CV/Gate

    BeatStep supports MIDI DIN, USB, and CV/Gate connections, making it compatible with DAWs, hardware synths, and modular setups. Transport buttons can send Start/Stop, MMC messages, or act as MIDI Clock master or slave, allowing synchronization across all connected gear.

  • Apple iPad® Support & Flexible Preset Management

    Compatible with iPad apps using a camera connection kit, BeatStep can function as a mobile control surface for music creation. Sixteen configurable presets store pad mappings, sequence settings, and encoder assignments, while a Kensington lock port provides physical security in studio or live performance environments.
