Arturia KeyStep Pro is a new 37-key MIDI controller and multi-channel sequencer with 4 independent polyphonic tracks in one device.
It was one of the longest user-requested products in modern electronic music. After Arturia released the best-seller KeyStep, the desire for a KeyStep Pro became huge. Now it’s here and will be shown for the first time at NAMM 2020 in California.
KeyStep Pro gives keyboard players huge sequencing and performance power in a compact, versatile controller. KeyStep Pro is a 37-key MIDI controller and multi-channel polyphonic sequencer all in one. It’s like 4 regular KeySteps in one unit and more.

It will allow musicians to take full control of their modular rigs, outboard synths, and software studio all at the same time. The 4 independent polyphonic sequencer tracks give you full control over your instruments, and Track 1 can also function as a 16-part integrated drum sequencer. It’s incredibly intuitive, has unparalleled connectivity, and promises to make even complex performances a breeze.
If you prefer keys to pads, you’ll love KeyStep Pro. It sports a great-feeling 3 octave keyboard with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. Letting you fully articulate your musical ideas, this expressive little sequencer truly puts your whole music-making ecosystem at your fingertips. Arturia’s designers studied the way musicians actually used their Step controllers, and created KeyStep Pro to remove the barriers between you and the music you want to create.
