We say...
An absolute classic - there’s a reason why this is a mainstay in so many studios. A perfect partner for a Eurorack system, you get two melodic sequencers with CV, gate and velocity outputs, a brilliant drum sequencer with 8 trigger outputs, plus MIDI connectivity and sync options that let it work in just about any context.
Manufacturer's description
The BeatStep Pro from Arturia is a compact sequencer hub that will bring together your entire studio. Featuring two independent monophonic, melodic sequencers and a drum sequencer, BeatStep Pro puts thousands of on-the-spot ideas at your disposal. If you want to consolidate the way you perform with outboard gear, and streamline your creative flow, BeatStep Pro is for you.
Connect to anything
When searching for the perfect sequencer, you need something that will have your whole studio performing in sync. BeatStep Pro will do just that; featuring CV / Gate output, 8 drum gate outputs, a multi-mode clock sync, and MIDI in & out. Sync your modular synths to your DAW project, all while creating a live performance using its intuitive controls.
The professional’s choice
Don’t let its small size fool you, BeatStep Pro is no toy. Its advance sequencers can create patterns up to 64 steps long, with velocity, gate time, and note tie available per step. The 16 track drum sequencer can be customized for knobs, step buttons, and velocity & pressure sensitive pads, and output MIDI CC, note data, as well as program changes. BeatStep Pro even features a real-time roller & looper touch strip for on-the-fly pattern performances.
Firmware updates
Arturia released firmware version 2.0 for BeatStep Pro, making the sync rock solid, and introducing several new features, including polyrhythm mode, touch strip roller / arpeggio function, the ability to save pattern chains, octave randomization, new ways of creating steps, added compatibility with KORG Volcas.
Features
- 2 monophonic, melodic step sequencers: create awesome melody sequences up to 64 steps long, with each step able to contain unique note, velocity, gate time, and note tie settings.
- A 16-track drum sequencer: programmable with BeatStep Pro’s pressure sensitive pads, and containing a dedicated MIDI controller mode for ultimate sequence control.
- Huge connectivity: CV / Gate outputs (1 volt per octave CV, 10 volt gates), 8 drum gate outputs, clock sync, MIDI in & out, and USB sync. Whatever gear you have, BeatStep Pro will make the most of it.
- Powerful performance controls: BeatStep Pro features a real-time looper / roller touch strip, independent swing per sequence, randomizer, and a variety of rotary controllers for hands-on performance.
- Create pattern chains and save songs: 16 projects are available to customize, each featuring 16x2 sequences, 16 drum sequences and a dedicated controller map.
- Great new update: the latest firmware v2.0 update makes the best even better, ensuring rock-solid performance, and adding loads of fun new features.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
