This manual covers the features and operation of Arturia’s KeyStep, a full-featured USB
MIDI keyboard controller complete with a polyphonic sequencer, arpeggiator, a robust
set of MIDI and C/V connections, and outfitted with our new Slimkey keyboard for
maximum playability in the minimum space.
In this package you will find:
One KeyStep controller, with a serial number and unlock code on the bottom. You
will need this information in order to register your KeyStep.
One USB Micro B / Type A cable
The Quick Start Guide for KeyStep.
Also included in the purchase of your KeyStep is a free installation of Ableton Live Lite, a
remarkably full-featured recording / sequencing application. The license number will be
provided to you when you register your KeyStep on the Arturia website. Then you can
download the installation file from ableton.com/live-lite.
Be sure to register your KeyStep as soon as possible! There is a sticker on the
bottom panel that contains the serial number of your unit and an unlock code. These
are required during the online registration process. You may want to record these
elsewhere or take a photo of the sticker in case it becomes damaged.
Registering your KeyStep provides the following benefits:
A product license key for your installation of Ableton Live Lite [see note below]
Access to the KeyStep user manual and the latest version of the MIDI Control
Center software
