Arturia KeyStep Mk2  — Compact creative powerhouse for studio & stage

The Arturia KeyStep Mk2 refines compact keyboard control with a velocity-sensitive 32-note Slimkey keyboard featuring aftertouch, delivering expressive play in a highly portable form. Pitch and modulation strips provide intuitive real-time shaping, while chord and scale modes encourage fresh melodic exploration.

Generative Sequencing Power

Designed as an “ideas machine”, the KeyStep Mk2 goes far beyond standard control. Its polyphonic step sequencer, 16-mode arpeggiator, pattern chaining, and real-time mutation tools work together to inspire new ideas. Capture an arpeggio and instantly convert it to a sequence, overdub automation, or apply the Mutate function to generate evolving musical variations.
