The Arturia KeyStep mk2 enhances playability with a velocity‐sensitive 32‐note Slimkey keyboard and aftertouch for expressive control in a compact size. Pitch and modulation touch strips provide intuitive real‐time shaping, while built‐in Chord and Scale modes make fresh musical phrases easy to explore and perform with confidence.
The KeyStep mk2 combines a polyphonic step sequencer, 16‐mode arpeggiator, pattern chaining, and creative tools like Mutate in seamless synergy. Build a riff with the arp, capture it to a sequence, then transform it on the go: try new octaves, adjust gate lengths, add silences, overdub notes, and record bend/wheel automation to keep inspiration flowing.
Ultra‐slim and travel‐ready, KeyStep mk2 delivers studio‐grade control without the bulk. Its shallow profile keeps you close to the instruments you're driving, and the intuitive layout ensures fast, musical integration on stage, in the studio, or at the heart of a hardware rig.
Connect to pretty much anything. Alongside USB‐C MIDI, MIDI DIN, sync I/O, and pedal input, KeyStep mk2 offers four CV outputs – Pitch, Gate, Mod 1, and the new Mod 2 – assignable to velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel, and more for expressive control of modular and hardware gear.
