Compact Control PowerHouse
The chameleon controller and sequencer that provides nearly endless possibilities. With a compact format, it is the perfect companion on the road or in the studio.
Arturia’s BeatStep: a degree of functionality and performance never seen before in a portable pad controller.
BeatStep is highly versatile, capable of triggering clips in applications like Ableton Live, playing drums with BFD or EZDrummer, or tweaking synth parameters. Or doing all of those at once!
BeatStep is also a 16-step analog sequencer, and it’s like a force of nature when it comes to creating interesting musical phrases for analog synthesizers, MIDI drum machines, keyboards and DAWs.
Its advanced connectivity interfaces easily with a computer or iPad® using USB, a drum module with MIDI, or the CV/Gate inputs on an analog synthesizer.
Step Sequencer
In SEQ mode the pads become toggles for each step in your sequence.
The 16 encoders will adjust 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 realtime 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.
General purpose control surface
The BeatStep pads can be configured to send MIDI note on/off messages, MMC commands, Program and Bank changes, or serve as MIDI CC buttons.
With 16 encoders, 16 pads/buttons and 16 presets, there are as many ways to use BeatStep as there are live gigs and studio environments. You can trigger clips in Ableton Live or use the encoders to adjust the effects in your favorite DJ app. The transport buttons can be MMC controls or send MIDI CCs to start and stop your DAW. It can be the MIDI Clock master or slave to an external clock.
Using an iPad and a camera connection kit, you can turn BeatStep into one of the most flexible iPad app controllers ever.
The Ultimate Studio Multitool
The Arturia BeatStep is a compact powerhouse designed to take control of your entire musical ecosystem. Whether you are triggering clips in Ableton Live, playing drum plugins, or sequencing a boutique analog synth, the BeatStep adapts to your workflow. It features 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads and 16 rotary encoders, giving you tactile command over your digital and hardware instruments.
Beyond standard MIDI control, the BeatStep shines as a standalone 16-step sequencer. In "SEQ" mode, the pads become steps for creating melodic phrases or rhythmic patterns, while the encoders allow for per-step pitch or parameter adjustments. With its built-in CV/Gate output, it provides a cost-effective way to integrate classic hardware into a modern setup without the need for complex interfaces. Its rugged, portable design makes it an essential companion for both mobile production and permanent studio rigs.
