help Arturia KeyStep FAQ

Does the Arturia KeyStep have 32 keys or 37 keys?

The original Arturia KeyStep has 32 slim keys, not 37. It also supports velocity and aftertouch, which is unusual in a compact controller at its size.

Can the KeyStep control modular synths without a computer?

Yes. The KeyStep includes CV, gate, and mod outputs, so it can sequence Eurorack and other analog gear without relying only on USB MIDI.

What makes the KeyStep different from the KeyStep Pro?

The KeyStep is a compact single-track controller and sequencer, while the KeyStep Pro is a larger multi-track sequencing hub. The Pro is aimed more at full hardware setups, especially when several synth voices need independent sequencing.

Does the Arturia KeyStep include an arpeggiator?

Yes. The original KeyStep includes both an arpeggiator and a step sequencer, making it useful for hardware jams as well as DAW control.
