Arturia's New Keystep MK2 - Display - Sequencer

The OG Keystep even now is everywhere, from modular performers, to almost every exhibitor at modular shows and on the desk of many an ITB producer, it has become a standard.

Today 9 years after the original was launched, Arturia are announcing the Keystep MKII which updates the hardware to include a display, enhanced sequencer (more memories, pattern chaining) and arpeggiator, USB-C connection, plus an additional CV output (assignable Mod 2), oh and a power switch.

The 32 key keybed retains aftertouch like the original (you could assign it to one of the CV mod outputs).

Available in stores soon, priced at: $139 in the USA and 129 € (or $129)
