Arturia KeyStep Mk2 Overview The KeyStep Mk2 fully integrates the look and control of the Mk2 series, elevating Arturia’s famous sequencing formula to astonishingly contemporary heights. It all starts with the classic 32-note SlimKey keybed, which includes velocity sensitivity and aftertouch for maximum musical expression. The KeyStep’s well-known sequencer and arpeggiator engines remain intact, but with one-touch mutation tools, Chord and Scale play modes, and 16 arpeggiation modes that provide more varied melodic foundations than ever before. Producers were quick to notice the inclusion of the Mk2 series’ onboard OLED display and push encoder setup, which makes the KeyStep’s extensive polyphonic sequencing features much easier to operate at any point. With an accommodating armory of connecting options, including USB-C MIDI, MIDI DIN In/Out, CV/Gate Out, and Sync I/O connectors, Arturia’s 2nd-generation KeyStep is ready to integrate into your existing setup. What’s new with Mk2? Hands-on control Play, arpeggiate, and sequence ideas as they occur. KeyStep mk2’s OLED display, clickable encoder, and full RGB feedback make every modification quick and simple. Generative creativity Capture a riff, convert it to a sequence, and then manipulate it using mutation tools and real-time performance control. Keep ideas flowing by incorporating characteristics that encourage ongoing exploration and movement. Universal connectivity Control modular, antique, and modern gear with your DAW. CV/Gate, MIDI DIN, Sync I/O, and USB-C ensure that every component of your system communicates and functions properly. Control and Sequence KeyStep mk2 keeps ideas moving, whether you’re sketching a melody or developing entire arrangements. Every touch, twist, and note responds quickly, allowing you to create, grow, and perform uninterrupted. Slimkey keybed: 32 expressive keys with velocity & aftertouch. 16-mode arpeggiator: From simple cycles to creative melodic textures. Pitch & mod touch strips: Smooth bends and modulation plus live Gate/Spice/Dice sliders. OLED display: Clear, immediate parameter feedback and editing. Mutate, Spice & Dice: Instant, musical variations and controlled randomness. Assignable CV/Gate outputs: Four outputs for pitch, gate, and modulation to control the modular gear. Polyphonic step sequencer: Record or program up to 64 steps of 8-note polyphony. Chord & Scale modes: Lock to a key and trigger full chords for harmonic flow. Full-size MIDI DIN Sync I/O: Seamless DAW, hardware, and Eurorack integration. Total control with three modes. KeyStep mk2’s modes work together to keep ideas fresh—catch a riff, convert it into a sequence, modify it, and maintain the momentum. Sequence mode Create and play back polyphonic patterns. Chain, overdub, undo, modify, automate bends/mods, and change sequences in real time—ideal for hardware rigs and DAW prototyping. Arpeggiator mode. Choose between 16 ARP kinds, including Poly, Walk, Pattern, and Random. Phrase Arp remaps your sequence to played notes, resulting in instantaneous musical variations. Controller mode KeyStep mk2 supports MIDI, USB, and CV. It can be used as a central controller to sequence gear, input chords, and modulate CV synthesizers with a single, compact keyboard.
