Arturia - BeatStep Pro Performance Sequencer and MIDI Controller with Drum Sequencer and CV/Gate Outputs

Arturia MicroFreak is a hybrid digital-and-analog synthesizer designed for versatile music production and performance. It features 21 digital oscillator modes, a 12dB/octave analog state-variable filter, and includes oscillator modes inspired by Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering, as well as a vocoder mode. The 25-key capacitive keyboard offers polyphonic aftertouch with monophonic, paraphonic, or unison modes for expressive control. A 64-step sequencer, arpeggiator with multiple modes, and Spice & Dice randomization enable evolving melodic and rhythmic patterns, while a modulation matrix, chord mode, and scale quantization provide flexible harmonic and performance options. Connectivity includes USB, MIDI In/Out, CV/Gate, and pressure outputs, allowing integration with DAWs, modular synths, and other hardware. MicroFreak also provides two patterns per preset and four automation tracks, making it suitable for studio, live, or portable setups.

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.

Arturia KeyLab mk3 49-note is a universal MIDI controller designed for integration with modern music production setups, featuring a 49-note velocity-sensitive semi-weighted keybed with synth-action feel and aftertouch for expressive performance and control. It includes nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders, nine faders, and twelve pressure-sensitive pads for hands-on adjustment of instruments, effects, and clips, along with a 3.5-inch full-color display and contextual buttons for real-time feedback and navigation. Built-in creative tools such as an arpeggiator, chord mode, and scale mode support melody and pattern creation, while compatibility with major DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and Bitwig Studio enables control of transport, mixing, and parameters. USB-C connectivity, a 5-pin DIN MIDI output, and a pedal input enable flexible integration with software and hardware setups. The controller includes software such as Analog Lab Pro (2000+ sounds), Ableton Live Lite, and additional instrument software, along with customizable MIDI settings and user presets for adaptable workflows in studio and performance environments.
