Arturia - KeyStep mk2 32-Note Slimkey Controller & Sequencer with CV/Gate, MIDI, USB-C, and Arpeggiator

Arturia KeyStep mk2 is a compact controller and sequencer designed for hybrid setups, featuring a 32-note Slimkey keyboard with velocity and aftertouch for expressive playing. It includes a polyphonic step sequencer with up to 64 steps and 16 arpeggiator modes, as well as Mutate, Spice, Dice, Chord, and Scale tools for pattern variation and harmonic control. The unit provides an OLED display with a clickable encoder and RGB feedback for real-time parameter editing, while assignable CV/Gate outputs, full-size MIDI DIN In/Out, USB-C, and Sync I/O allow integration with modular, vintage, and modern instruments. Sustain and expression pedal inputs expand performance options, making KeyStep mk2 suitable for composing, sequencing, and performing in both studio and portable setups.

• 32-Note Slimkey Keyboard with Expression Control: The Compact 32-key Slimkey keyboard offers velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, enabling expressive melodies, chord progressions, and real-time performance. Its small footprint fits studio desks, portable setups, and hybrid hardware/software rigs, giving hands-on control over your musical ideas.
• Polyphonic Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator Tools: Record, program, and chain up to 64-step sequences with 8-note polyphony. Use 16 arpeggiator modes, Phrase Arp, and real-time modulation to create evolving patterns. Sequencer and arpeggiator integration supports both composition and live performance, keeping rhythm, pitch, and dynamics under precise control.
• Mutate, Spice, Dice, and Chord Modes: Transform sequences and arpeggios with Mutate, Spice, and Dice tools, while Chord and Scale modes lock melodies to key and trigger full chords. These features enable improvisation, pattern variation, and harmonic layering across DAWs, synths, and modular gear without breaking workflow.
• OLED Display, Encoder, and RGB Feedback: Bright OLED display, clickable encoder, and RGB visual feedback provide clear parameter control for sequencing, arpeggiation, and performance edits. Real-time display of active functions and adjustments streamlines workflow in live shows, studio production, or hybrid hardware/software setups.
• Comprehensive Connectivity for Hybrid Setups: Assignable CV/Gate outputs, full-size MIDI DIN In/Out, USB-C, and 3.5 mm Sync In/Out support modular synths, vintage and modern instruments, and DAWs. Sustain and expression pedal inputs expand performance options, while a compact, bus-powered design makes it easy to integrate into desktop or portable rigs.
