Arturia Keystep Mkii 32-key Midi Controller

The Arturia KeyStep MK2 is the refined second generation of the controller that defined the compact keyboard-sequencer category ? a 32-key MIDI controller, polyphonic step sequencer, and arpeggiator that acts as the central hub connecting your computer, hardware synthesizers, and modular gear. The updated slim keybed is velocity-sensitive with aftertouch, providing real expression in a footprint that slips into a backpack, while comprehensive connectivity including CV/gate outputs, MIDI in/out, and USB makes it fluent in every language your studio speaks.

KeyStep MK2's sequencer captures up to 64 steps of polyphonic notes with rests, ties, and chords, and its arpeggiator offers multiple patterns and octave ranges for instant movement. Chord mode voices full harmonies from single keys, hold functions keep patterns running hands-free, and everything syncs tightly to external clock, MIDI, or your DAW. Whether you're sequencing a Eurorack system, playing soft synths on a laptop, or driving vintage hardware, the KeyStep MK2 handles it all without menus or complications.

The Universal Studio Translator

With CV/gate, MIDI, and USB all onboard, KeyStep MK2 bridges modern and vintage equipment effortlessly: play modular synths from the keyboard, sequence a hardware synth from your DAW, or sync everything to a common clock. Few devices at any price connect this many worlds this simply.

Sequencing That Inspires

The polyphonic step sequencer records chords and melodies with intuitive real-time or step entry, and the arpeggiator turns held notes into instant rhythmic patterns. Combined with chord mode and sustain hold, KeyStep MK2 is as much an idea generator as a controller.
