Manufacture Description
Play with any drum software
BeatStep’s 16 pads are both pressure- and velocity-sensitive, which means they are able to capture the nuances of your performance. BeatStep is the perfect control surface for producers and percussionists using iPads® or software instruments such as BFD, Kontakt, Live’s Drum Rack, EZ Drummer, Addictive Drums, Geist or Reason’s Kong.
Sequence Analog and Software synthesizers
BeatStep goes way beyond the typical pad controller by doubling as a step sequencer. This opens up a new world for anyone who uses MIDI modules, CV/Gate synths like the MiniBrute or MicroBrute, or plug-ins on their computer via USB. While a sequence is playing you can switch to Controller mode and use the pads and knobs to enable and disable effects, tweak filters, alter attack and decay times on plug-ins, etc. BeatStep will bring your ideas to life and enhance your live performances in an unlimited number of ways.
Enhance your live performances and DJ sets
Whether you use Ableton Live, Traktor, Serato or any other DJ/clip playback software, the BeatStep pads are perfect for launching samples or enabling effects. The 16 encoders give you lots of mapping options for EQs, filters, delays and other performance effects. BeatStep makes a stylish and portable companion to your other DJ control surfaces.
