Arturia BeatStep is a compact MIDI controller with built-in 16 step sequencer, backlit performance pads, programmable rotary encoders, and great connectivity.

Small enough to go anywhere with you, and USB bus-powered, wherever your music takes you, BeatStep can be right alongside you. Alongside its huge array of performance controllers, it also packs a simple 16-step sequencer to let you create improvised melodic and percussive sequences. It can even control playback in your DAW.

Connecting the worlds of computer audio, MIDI outboard gear, and CV/Gate controlled equipment, BeatStep syncs everything together so you can make the most of your setup. Refine the parameters of your effects or virtual instruments, improvise a sequence with modular synths using CV, or control a vintage synth module via MIDI. BeatStep makes it possible.
