Arturia BeatStep Pro Performance Controller and Sequencer
The Arturia BeatStep Pro is a performance controller and sequencer built around pads and encoders, made to drive drum machines, synths, modular systems and software from one compact hub. It has become a studio and live staple for hybrid setups.
Two melodic step sequencers and a 16-track drum sequencer run simultaneously, programmed via 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads and shaped by 16 encoders that adjust pitch, gate, velocity and more across the steps. A touch-sensitive looper strip throws in fills and rolls, randomness and swing controls keep patterns alive, and projects store patterns for instant recall. It also works as a straight pad/encoder MIDI controller for your DAW.
Connections include CV/Gate outputs for the melodic sequencers, 8 drum gate outputs, MIDI in/out, clock sync in/out and USB. DjLab supplies genuine Arturia in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

“It's a fantastic addition, particularly with a user-defined scale or drum kit, and especially when used in a live setting · Perhaps the most obvious targets for BeatStep Pro's sequencers are hardware synths and samplers, but we had just as ...”Read full review →
“You just don’t find control surfaces with as much functionality as the BSP for under $400, Arturia have found a way of producing a sophisticated and durable product that the masses can afford. What does it for me is the fact that it doesn’t matter whether you are using hardware or software, Midi or CV, the BSP will talk its language and know what to do with it. Personally I wouldn’t refer to the BeatStep Pro as a sequencer or a controller, but as a mechanical chameleon that can combine your devices into one super-control surface.”Read full review →
“While the Beatstep Pro can rightfully claim to be a MIDI controller and step sequencer, the emphasis is firmly on the latter. There are three tracks, consisting of two ‘melodic’ parts and a drum sequencer.”Read full review →
