The Arturia BeatStep is a compact USB pad controller with 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads and 16 rotary encoders. A number of (transport) buttons and a large data dial complete the panel. The BeatStep is the perfect companion for software such as Ableton, BFD and Toontrack EZdrummer, as well as other drum and percussion plug-ins. Thanks to its comfortable, well-organised layout the controller is pleasant to use, and the backlit pads ensure great visibility when you’re on a dark stage.
Set the BeatStep to CNTRL (controller) mode if you want to produce multiple drum sounds at the same time. In CNTRL mode, it functions as a typical MIDI controller, just like a MIDI keyboard. Set to SEQ (sequencer) mode, the Arturia pad controller functions as a step sequencer. The rotary encoders allow you to change the pitch of a step, and the BeatStep is able to store up to 16 sequencer patterns. It’s also possible to use the pads of the BeatStep as MIDI CC buttons, notes, or program and bank changes. The transport buttons of the controller can also serve as MMC controllers or MIDI CC to start and stop a DAW.
In addition to the usual USB MIDI communication, the Arturia BeatStep supports CV/gate out, which is quite remarkable. CV/gate allows you to control classic, vintage synthesisers - in the 1960s and 1970s it was the preferred way of communication. After the introduction of the MIDI protocol, CV/gate was largely discarded, but with the increasing popularity of vintage synths, CV/gate is once again in demand.
