It provides a single hands-on surface for playing parts, creating repeating patterns, and keeping connected instruments synchronized. Its slim format suits desktop studios, mobile production setups, and hardware-focused performance rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive Slimkey keyboard gives the KeyStep mk2 expressive control in a small footprint. Capacitive pitch-bend and modulation touch strips add performance control without requiring conventional wheels. Chord and Scale modes help users explore harmonic ideas while maintaining a playable keyboard workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe onboard polyphonic sequencer stores up to 64 patterns, with up to 64 steps and eight notes per step. A 16-mode arpeggiator supports traditional note-order patterns alongside generative modes, while a user sequence mode can apply the last sequencer pattern to newly played notes. Mutate, Spice, and Dice functions provide real-time variation for developing phrases during writing or performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeyStep mk2 is designed to bridge digital and analog instruments rather than functioning as a sound source itself. USB-C MIDI, full-size MIDI DIN input and output, Sync input and output, and four CV\/Gate-related outputs allow it to communicate with computers, drum machines, synthesizers, and modular systems. Its CV pitch, gate, and modulation settings can be configured to suit a range of compatible analog equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe controller includes an OLED display, clickable encoder, RGB LED feedback, transport controls, and a dedicated power switch for practical standalone use. It can be bus powered through USB-C and supports low-power operation with compatible mobile devices; an appropriate camera connection kit is required for iPad use. Analog Lab Intro and Ableton Live Lite are included as software bundle components, expanding the KeyStep mk2 into a computer-based production setup after registration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32-Note Slimkey Keyboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Velocity and aftertouch provide expressive note control in a compact layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolyphonic Step Sequencer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Create and store up to 64 patterns with up to 64 steps and eight-note polyphony.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16-Mode Arpeggiator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generate conventional, polyphonic, and generative repeating note patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMutate, Spice \u0026amp; Dice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Change sequence and arpeggio behavior in real time for evolving musical ideas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour CV Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pitch, Gate, Mod 1, and Mod 2 outputs connect with compatible analog and modular gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Connectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C MIDI, MIDI DIN, Sync I\/O, and pedal support connect software and hardware workflows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KeyStep mk2 uses an ultra-slim controller format built around Arturia's 32-note Slimkey keybed. Its front panel combines dedicated performance controls with an OLED display, clickable encoder, touch strips, transport buttons, and RGB LED feedback.

Use standard 5-pin MIDI cables for MIDI DIN devices, 3.5 mm TRS cables for Sync connections, and compatible patch cables for the CV, Gate, and modulation outputs. A sustain footswitch or continuous expression pedal can connect through the rear TRS pedal input; select the pedal type in the controller settings when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTURIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47991193403555,"sku":"KEYSTEP MK2","price":109.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5416\/9507\/files\/51Bvf9_yMNL.jpg?v=1786666995","url":"https:\/\/nsiexport.com\/products\/arturia-keystep-controller-sequencer-mk2-32-key","provider":"NSI Export","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
