The Arturia KeyStep MK2 Keyboard Controller packs an impressive amount of creative control into a compact keyboard, giving electronic musicians, producers, and hardware synth enthusiasts a hands-on command center for software, MIDI hardware, and modular gear.
Combining a responsive 32-note Slimkey keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, a powerful polyphonic step sequencer, a versatile arpeggiator, and extensive MIDI and CV/Gate connectivity, the KeyStep MK2 makes it easy to turn an idea into a sequence, performance, or full-blown hardware jam without slowing down to wrestle with menus. Built for modern hybrid setups, the KeyStep MK2 can sit comfortably between your DAW, desktop synths, vintage MIDI instruments, and Eurorack system. Its polyphonic sequencer supports patterns up to 64 steps with eight-note polyphony, while Mutate, Spice, and Dice functions introduce controlled variation for evolving sequences and live experimentation. Chord and Scale modes help keep performances harmonically focused, and the 16-mode arpeggiator provides everything from familiar patterns to more adventurous generative movement. Arturia also gives the KeyStep MK2 plenty of ways to communicate with the rest of your studio. Full-size MIDI DIN In and Out, USB-C MIDI, Sync In and Out, and four assignable CV/Gate outputs make it equally comfortable controlling software instruments, standalone synthesizers, drum machines, and modular equipment. An OLED display, clickable encoder, RGB LED feedback, and dedicated pitch and modulation touch strips keep essential controls close at hand, making the KeyStep MK2 a flexible centerpiece for music creation in the studio, on stage, or anywhere inspiration shows up.
