What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

General

For quite some time, the Keith McMillen 12 Step offered the possibility of hands-free control of all kinds of MIDI stuff. After all, it was a foot controller whose functionality you could control with the accompanying software. Now that is a thing of the past, as there is the Muse Kinetics 12 Step 2! Broadly speaking, this successor is a similar product, but with some new details. For a start: USB-C, so completely up-to-date again. Furthermore, there is a 3.5 mm MIID-out, and there are 3.5 mm connectors for CV and gate. So a new and improved generation; do it!

Tips or comments about this product

  • Note: originally this was a product of Keith McMillen. Since Keith's death in 2024, the brand lives on under the name Muse Kinetics. Content of the product has not changed.

Muse Kinetics 12 Step 2 MIDI Foot Controller

A solid and well constructed piece of kit. The 2nd version is a significant improvement over the first, updating and modernizing it while not losing any of the grounded utility of the original.
