Arturia BeatStep Pro: control center for your electronic music equipment

For anyone who prefers hands-on hardware sequencing experience and works with a wide variety of electronic music equipment, the Arturia BeatStep Pro is a dream come true. Designed to work well with MIDI, USB, CV/Gate and even DIN Sync platforms, the Arturia BeatStep Pro offers a combination of two independent sequencers, each with 64 steps per sequence. There's also a 16-track drum sequencer on board with real-time recording and old-school step sequencing available. Now add performance effects, a looper, a randomizer and amazing tactile controls, and you can start to see the power of Arturia BeatStep Pro.

Three sequencers power a world of creative possibilities

The standalone yet impressively flexible Arturia BeatStep Pro sequencer combines two independent melodic sequencers, each with 64 steps per sequence, with a versatile 16-channel drum sequencer. Each of the melodic sequencers allows you to store up to 16 sequences per project and save 16 projects per part. Add to this a set of pads that make it easy to play melodic sequences in a variety of scales and you have a ton of creative power just waiting to be unleashed!

Arturia BeatStep Pro is packed with MIDI tools and effects to inspire your imagination

Want to spice up your show with a little variety? Arturia's BeatStep Pro has you covered. For starters, you can add a dose of swing to your instruments - even old drum machines that hit the market before swing existed. A built-in randomizer (with randomization control) lets you create exciting variations on even the most common grooves. And electronic musicians love the touch strip looper, which makes it easy to roll into DJ-style transitions.

Take control of all your favorite synths and software

With the Arturia BeatStep Pro's ability to interface with DAWs, hardware synths, iOS apps and other MIDI-controllable gear, the sky's the limit when it comes to putting this remarkable device to use. Both melodic sequencers include discrete pitch, velocity and gate outputs, and the electronic drum section is equipped with eight individual gate outputs. With its full suite of transport controls, the Arturia BeatStep Pro also serves as a high-end master clock, supporting MIDI and DIN Sync for maximum flexibility.
