Là où l’histoire
commence
Avance rapide jusqu’en 2011, quand le numérique dominait le marché. Les instruments virtuels faisaient fureur et tous les synthés matériels populaires étaient numériques.
[...] quand, au NAMM 2012, Arturia présenta son premier clavier analogique, le MiniBrute, un instrument qui sonnait formidablement, et coûtait moins de la moitié du prix de ses concurrents. Arturia avait eu la clairvoyance de sentir arriver et impulser une nouvelle tendance : la ré-émergence et l’éventuelle domination de la synthèse analogique. Ils ne pouvaient pas arriver au meilleur moment.

du point de vue des artistes
Arturia a toujours entretenu un lien étroit avec les artistes. Nous avons donc décidé de montrer ce qui se passe en coulisse. Découvrez ce que ces musiciens et réalisateurs artistiques de renom ont à dire de leurs produits favoris d’Arturia et comment ils les utilisent.
Aki Bergen
DJ / Producer
"The BeatStep is a solid step sequencer, easy to use and extremely fun. Although it has plenty of applications, I do love it to go on with other analogue synthesizers as it allows me to get all of those incomparable musical nuances I was looking for."
Doc McKinney
Producer - Composer
"The BeatStep is extremely intuitive and has helped my creative process and workflow exponentially. Not to mention making programming fun again!"
Guy J
DJ / Producer
"Arturia's BeatStep will definitely be connected to my DAW , Love the fact it can be both Midi controller and a Sequencer , will make building Drums part in your track more creative and fun task than before."
Oliver Huntemann
DJ / Producer
"I hate complicated technology and the BeatStep is as simple as one would wish. The benefit of great sequencing and controlling possibilities including a CV/Gate connectivity to get my old synths back from the attic in the studio."
Kink
DJ / Producer
"BeatStep Pro is the bridge between the old and new technology. I love the Shift function, which allows you to create crazy groove / shuffle on your beats and melodies. We have three independent sequencers, which are very easy to program."
BT
DJ / Producer
"I'm bewildered it's taken manufactures so long to catch on to the control voltage craze. Now that we have there are a proliferation of exciting new instruments and synths, for bang for buck you can get a Beatstep Pro and stop looking. This is the most feature rich, high end step and gate sequencer in a small format, affordable (and substantial) package I've ever seen. I want about 20 of these!"
Marc Houle
DJ / Producer
"The Beatstep Pro helped me control all my old analog gear from one central location. It was really fun to be able to control the instruments in new ways giving new life to some old stuff I had stopped using."
Blawan
DJ / Producer
"The connectivity is amazing too which makes it as useful in the studio as it is in a live setting! Overall a brilliant sequencer to jam with but also to go really deep with the sequencing in the studio."
Matthew Dear
Audion
"It's expressive, intuitive and quick to navigate which helps immensely when writing. It turns my modular drum rig into a wildly inventive drummer with a mind of its own."
Tom Demac
DJ / Producer
"I have never had my MonoPoly singing like this! It's f******* wicked. BeatStep Pro is literally one of the most handy things I have in the studio now."
Jeff Mills
DJ / Producer
"Since I do not use computer for sequencing, I found the piece very "hands on". Easy to manage and it adapts very well with all the other pieces in my studios. I would recommend BeatStep Pro for anyone that prefers to record music in real-time"."
Suzanne Ciani
Composer
"The BeatStep Pro is elegantly visual with a wonderfully tactile interface that is geared toward performance. The touch-sensitive encoder knobs give you information in a polite and non-intrusive fashion."
Synapson
DJ / Producer
"Very good ergonomics, very intuitive, allows not having to look at your computer. I like the possibility of transposing several sequences at the same time which is a time saver. Sync with any type of synth works perfectly."
The Hacker
DJ / Producer
"As a big fan of a step sequencer, I like the ease of use, versatility, and design! I'm using the step sequencer functions to control my analog synths ,it has integrated my studio but also my new live performance."
Simon Mavin
Hiatus Kaiyote
"The beatstep Pro has been a fantastic addition to my setup at home in the studio and live. Being able to control a lot of my synths from one source whether there analog or digital is a huge plus."
Justin Meldal-Johnsen
Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, Beck
"I’ve been dreaming of a simple yet full-featured controller that would play well with my modular, and the KeyStep is the answer! It’s ideal… and I wouldn’t change a thing."
Ansis Kolmanis
Rapper/ Hip-Hop Producer
"This little bad boy is my new best mate in the studio AND on the road. I can finally fit my entire gear in a single backpack when I've got some gigs to do with the KeyStep. Oh, and I LOVE the pitch-strip!"
Taraval
Caribou
"I use the Beatstep Pro as a kind of Swiss Army knife of sequencing and syncing in my studio, lots of useful functions in such a small box and lots of creative possibilities to explore."
James Murphy
LCD Soundsystem
"Great CV/Gate conversion, usability - and that’s the highest praise I can give, as someone who has spent decades staring at old gear and wondering how I can get it all to work together."
Tycho
Producer / Musician
"The Keystep Pro is hands down the most intuitive and inspirational sequencer I've ever used. Arturia have managed to pack an incredible amount of powerful features into a compact device that's a joy to use."
Rob Lewis
Composer
"Within 10 minutes of opening the KeyStep Pro, all my equipment is working together, and the horizons of creativity have expanded in a way I didn’t think possible."
Henry Durham
Producer Chris Brown/Bree Runway/Steve Aoki
" You can get as specific as you want with the timings, without ever having to hit pause. I feel like I’m finally free from the piano roll! My workflow has never felt better. The BeatStep Pro was a game changer for me and Arturia have done it again here."
Anthony Tombling
CUTS
"Love the sequencer, arp and the chord generator! Wow, this little thing has a ton of capabilities! "
James Brown
Pulled Apart By Horses
"I've been using the new KeyStep 37 non-stop. It does everything I'd want from a MIDI controller/arpeggiator and a hell of a lot more. This has easily flown straight to the top of my must-have tool list right now."
Fred Everything
Producer
"The Beatstep Pro is one of my go to tools. It's a great melodic sequencer that gets quick unexpected ideas on the spot and has 8 trigger outs that I send to my hardware synths to sync arpeggiators, sequencers and gates. A truly versatile instrument."
Floex
Composer/ Producer
"I really like all the improvisation functions, like roller and looper, and also probability functions, which brings a ton of organic flow into the live improvisation."
Bogdan Raczynski
Producer
"The KeyStep Pro is all but one of these: DAW daddy, MIDI overlord, modular mother brain, sassy sync-quencer, a banana."
Kink
DJ / Producer
"What I love about Keystep 2 is that it helps me create melodies that won’t come to my mind in a regular way. I love how you can start with a simple arpeggio and you quickly morph it into an evolving loop with interesting harmonic and rhythmic structure, then you store it as a pattern just with a click of a button, all that with minimum or no menu diving. Major upgrade from the original keystep in terms of playability, although the first version was already very good."
Octave One
DJ / Producer
"I got down with the original Keystep. The lighter design, screen, and usb-c on the Keystep MK2 are huge upgrades to a great compact controller."
Maarten Vos
Composer / Producer
"The original Keystep has long been a staple in my setup for many instruments. The new MK2 is even more versatile, with great new features. As a modular synth enthusiast using CV, I love the upgraded sequencer and the ability to change length and quantization on the fly."
Low Jack
DJ / Producer
"Arturia’s KeyStep MK2 is quite a fun and wonderful tool, I must say. Especially the overdub mode for improvisation. And when you add the mutate mode, you can create really unexpected sequences. I mainly use it together with the Augmented Voices and Piano plugins. It’s incredibly inspiring when starting from a blank page. Excellent."
