Arturia BeatStep USB/MIDI/CV Controller and Sequencer

VERSATILE MIDI CONTROLLER AND SEQUENCER: BeatStep is a chameleon controller and sequencer that provides nearly endless possibilities! Highly versatile, it allows you to trigger clips in apps like Ableton Live, finger-drum or make beats effortlessly, tweak your sound in real-time - or all at once! In addition, its compact format makes it the perfect companion on the road or in the studio..
TWO IN ONE…: With MIDI Controller mode, the 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads make it the perfect compact solution for playing percussion, while sequencer mode turns it into an easy step sequencer. The 16 encoders will adjust pitch for the associated step. 16 memories allow for instant recall of your patterns while the pad scale modes, sequence playback modes and time division functions allow for real time performance changes..
…BOTH AT ONCE: This MIDI keyboard is both a pad/knob controller AND a step sequencer. But the best part is that you can run them both at the same time! You can have the step sequencer play your sound through the CV/Gate output, while you switch to CONTROL mode and trigger clips on Ableton Live and use the encoders to manipulate your VST version of SEM V. All at once!.
