KeyStep Pro
Arturia
KeyStep Pro is a culmination of all the impressive traits Arturia has pulled together across its product range over the past few years. The accessible nature of this unit will appeal to many, while its capacity to build song formats through patterns and sequences – which can be tinkered with on the fly – makes it particularly well suited to controlling Eurorack systems, as well as other devices.
As a hub, it should integrate splendidly with your DAW, computer-based plug-ins, other CV-based equipment, and even good old MIDI modules. The standout feature for us, though, is simply the speed at which the KeyStep Pro allows you to get hooked up and get going. When a composer or performer’s ideas start flowing, it’s often crucial to get them down quickly. This product can help you do just that
