Arturia BeatStep USB/MIDI/CV Controller and Sequencer
The Arturia BeatStep USB/MIDI/CV Controller and Sequencer is 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. BeatStep fulfills multiple requirements for a wide variety of musicians. 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.
Step Sequencer Mode
In SEQ mode the pads become toggles for each step in your sequence. The 16 encoders will adjust the pitch for the associated step. 16 memories allow for instant recall of your favorite patterns while the pad scale modes, sequence playback modes, and time division functions allow for real-time performance changes. On top of all that it has MIDI, USB, and CV/GATE connectivity, giving you a sequencer that will work with all types of gear, including analog synths, software instruments, and MIDI hardware.
Percussion Controller
With 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads, BeatStep is the perfect compact percussion instrument. The ultra-sensitive pads allow for great dynamic performances. The 16 encoders can be assigned to adjust various parameters for further real-time control over your drum sounds.
Play with Any Drum Software
BeatStep’s 16 pads are both pressure- and velocity-sensitive, which means they can 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.
Enhance Your Live Performances and DJ Sets
Whether you use Ableton Live, Traktor, Serato, or any other DJ/clip playback software, the BeatStep pads are perfect for launching samples or enabling effects. The 16 encoders give you lots of mapping options for EQs, filters, delays, and other performance effects. BeatStep makes a stylish and portable companion to your other DJ control surfaces.
Control Your MIDI-Compatible Gear
BeatStep is the perfect solution for stage performers looking for a way to send MIDI messages and control changes to their hardware and workstations. Thanks to the included MIDI Control Center software, mapping BeatStep to your needs becomes a breeze.
