For anyone who prefers the hands-on experience of hardware sequencing and works with a wide variety of electronic music gear, the Arturia BeatStep Pro is a dream come true. Designed to play well with MIDI, USB, CV/Gate, and even DIN Sync platforms, the BeatStep Pro offers a combination of two independent sequencers, each with 64 steps per sequence. There's also a 16-track drum sequencer onboard with real-time recording and old-school step sequencing available. Now add on performance effects, a looper, a randomizer, and amazing tactile controls, and you can start to see the power of the BeatStep Pro.

Much more than just a USB pad controller, the BeatStep is ready to serve as a master sequencer for your MIDI or CV-equipped hardware! You've got 16 velocity and pressure sensitive pads, perfect for both finger drumming and expressive playing. Assign the 16 encoders to whatever parameters you like, and save up to 16 of your custom setups. Best of all, a built-in step sequencer lets you program 16 different sequences with 16 steps each, ready to control your MIDI or CV gear all by itself!

Get an amazing compact keyboard controller and a polyphonic sequencer in one, with the Arturia KeyStep. For starters, this compact controller keyboard includes a 32-note Slimkey keybed, which is far more playable than typical under-sized keys. But the coolest thing about the KeyStep is its advanced functions, such as Chord Play, which allows you to play a chord and then trigger it with single keys across the keyboard. Equally impressive is the onboard polyphonic 64-step sequencer, and when you combine that with its extensive CV, MIDI, DIN Sync, and Sync connectivity, the KeyStep is one of the most versatile compact keyboard controls around.

Arturia's MiniLab MkII USB Controller is far more than an affordable controller — it's a hybrid synth. In a deceptively petite package, Arturia gives you mountains of functionality. In addition to 25 highly playable mini keys, 16 encoders, eight pads (x two banks), and delightfully ergonomic pitch and mod touch strips, you get 500 incredible presets from Arturia's Modular V, CS-80V, Mini V, Arp 2600V, Jupiter 8V, Prophet V, Oberheim SEM V, and Wurlitzer V — all courtesy of the included Analog Lab Lite software.
