General
The Beatstep was a great success for Arturia. In fact, many enthusiastic users are still working with the original Beatstep. 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. This pad controller can do a lot more, and that functionality requires room.
Characteristics 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 that open up a world of possibilities. The drum section provides you with a 16-track drum sequencer that allows you to create drum parts using 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. 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 true potential!

Absolutely fabulous bit of gear I purchased 2 of these from BAX. Fastest delivery ever too. The Beatstep Pro black edition performs flawless in my setup.

Super engin ! Du plug and play pour les séquenceurs.
Je n’ai pas encore eu l'occasion de tester l'ensemble des fonctionnalités mais pour tout ce qui est basique, cela fonctionne du tonnerre ! C'est devenu le maitre de mon setup en une matinée.

Good sequencer with an intuitive workflow and good visual feedback, everything works as expected except the connection with Logic Pro X, where a bug causes a midi loop if the transport controls are enabled.
Arturia seems to be aware of this issue but its been reported for 2+ years and not fixed yet.

De arturia beatstep pro vind ik echt super, gisteren zowel aangesloten op computer als een analog synth, ongelimiteerd plezier dus! Af en tie is het een beetje zoeken naar de juiste instellingen maar dit ligt eerder aan mijn eigen, ben nog maar recent met elecktronische muziek begonnen
For ultra-durable MIDI controllers, Arturia is the brand to beat. We were already acquainted with the BeatStep, BeatStep Pro, and KeyStep in white, as well as the BeatStep in black. Now, the Beatstep Pro and the KeyStep are also 'back in black'!
