Arturia KeyStep MK2
The Arturia KeyStep MK2 is the long-awaited update to the classic compact controller and sequencer, keeping the connectivity-first spirit of the original while adding an OLED display, USB-C and new generative tools. It is the ideal bridge between your DAW, hardware synths and modular gear.
A 32-note Slimkey keybed with velocity and aftertouch sits below a redesigned panel with a crisp OLED screen and clickable encoder, so settings and step editing happen directly on the unit. The polyphonic step sequencer records up to 64 steps of 8-note polyphony with unquantized recording and pattern chaining, while the arpeggiator now offers 16 modes. New Mutate, Spice and Dice functions transform patterns in real time, and Scale and Chord modes keep everything musical. Pitch and mod touch strips add expression.
Connectivity covers four assignable 3.5 mm CV/Gate outputs, full-size MIDI In/Out, analogue sync in/out, a sustain pedal input and USB-C with a power switch. DjLab supplies genuine Arturia in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

“The KeyStep line has always been about Arturia packing way more features and connectivity than you’d expect from such a compact controller, and sometimes still making it work. Well, they’ve done it again. With the KeyStep 37 mk2, Arturia has moved from 32 to 37 slimkey keys, added a dedicated OLED display with a clickable encoder, four additional encoders, two extra buttons, and a new Mod 2 CV output.”Read full review →
“With the KeyStep 37, they introduced a pattern mode as option 7, which is by far my favourite arp mode on any device I’ve ever encountered. In pattern mode, it just seems to generate a sequence of notes that sounds great. Whenever I want to try out some sounds or demo a synth I throw on arp mode 7, hit some keys, and it’s perfect. Arturia noticed how great it was, pulled it across to the KeyStep MkII, and expanded it into nine fascinating variations.”Read full review →
“I have one from my beta testing. It’s a great next generation Ketstep yet simple like the OG. Am definitely replacing my original version with this. Seems a decent upgrade. Wonder if they will do a Keystep Pro Mk2 version as well?”Read full review →
