  Arturia BeatStep USB/MIDI/CV Controller and Sequencer PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

BeatStep fulfills multiple requirements for a wide variety of musicians.

BeatStep was designed to give you the control you need, whether you’re working with your favorite DAW or loop triggering software, VST instrument or effect, drum software, DJ app, MIDI synth or even analog gear with CV/Gate inputs. The possibilities are nearly endless.
It’s truly a chameleon, ready and able to become many things to many people. No other compact pad controller on the market offers this level of control plus a step sequencer at such an amazing price.

Play with any drum software

BeatStep’s 16 pads are both pressure- and velocity-sensitive, which means they are able to capture the nuances of your performance. BeatStep is the perfect control surface for producers and percussionists using iPads® or software instruments such as BFD, Kontakt, Live’s Drum Rack, EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, Geist or Reason’s Kong.

Sequence Analog and Software synthesizers

BeatStep goes way beyond the typical pad controller by doubling as a step sequencer. This opens up a new world for anyone who uses MIDI modules, CV/Gate synths like the MiniBrute or MicroBrute, or plug-ins on their computer via USB. While a sequence is playing you can switch to Controller mode and use the pads and knobs to enable and disable effects, tweak filters, alter attack and decay times on plug-ins, etc. BeatStep will bring your ideas to life and enhance your live performances in an unlimited number of ways.
