The wonderful music tech creators at Arturia are launching a sleek and sexy new line of their KeyStep, BeatStep and BeatStep Pro controllers – but you’ll have to be quick to nab one.

We really like Arturia’s kit at RouteNote, as you can see in our reviews of the BeatStep Pro and the MiniLab MKII. They have just revealed a new, limited edition line of their excellent ‘Step’ series of controllers / sequencers so that you don’t only have an incredible powerhouse capable of controlling multiple instruments, hardware and more – but it also looks damn good.

The new editions come in a super smooth looking black finish that gives a whole new vibe to the devices which come in a polar opposite white normally. Each of the new black kits comes included with CV cables as well so that straight out of the box you can plug up and jump into using them.
