    [​IMG]
    Arturia has announced the release of the next evolution of its acclaimed compact controller and sequencer. With a 32-note Slimkey keyboard, generative sequencing tools, and deep connectivity via CV/Gate, MIDI DIN, and USB-C, KeyStep mk2 lets you spark ideas in your DAW, pilot any synth, or patch modular without breaking your flow.

    KeyStep mk2 is more than keys. It’s a sequencer, arpeggiator, and musical nerve-centre that bridges hardware and software so you can compose, jam, and perform anywhere your ideas take you.

    Evolving a proven formula, go from sequence generation to transformation faster than ever – with Mutate, OLED display control, and expanded connectivity for total creative freedom.

    • 32-note Slimkey keyboard with velocity & aftertouch.

    • 16‑mode arpeggiator with generative pattern styles.
    • Mutate, Spice & Dice tools for live variation.
    • Chord & Scale modes for instant harmony.
    • OLED display with clickable encoder & RGB LED feedback.
    • 4 CV/Gate outputs (Pitch, Gate, Mod 1, Mod 2) assignable to velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel & more.
    • Full‑size MIDI DIN In/Out + 3.5 mm Sync In/Out.
    • Sustain / expression pedal input (TRS).
    • USB‑C MIDI (class‑compliant) and bus power.
    • Power switch & Kensington lock slot.
