General
The Beatstep was such a great success for Arturia that many fansare still working with the original. Arturia is not a company that likes to rest on its laurels, though, so they've come up with a promising successor: the Arturia Beatstep Pro USB pad controller. The first thing you'll notice about the Beatstep Pro is its increased size and since this pad controller can do a lot more, all of that functionality needs all the room it can get.
Features of the Arturia Beatstep Pro
Arturia's Beatstep Pro is a top-quality controller with high-grade pads and knobs. The Pro model has four new sections, each with its own distinct colour: control mode, sequencer 1, sequencer 2 and drum. The two sequencer tracks are exactly what they appear to be: two independent melodic step sequencers blowing open a wealth of potential. The16-track drum sequencer gives you everything you need to spitbeatsusing an external synth. As there are plenty of CV outputs available on the rear panel, you can easily use the Beatstep Pro to control your analogue synthesizers and with a simple MIDI cable, you can also connect the controller to any other MIDI device. All in all, the Arturia Beatstep Pro is a pad controller with an eye-watering amount of potential.
