Arguably one of the best options as far as “bang for buck” goes and a great tool to make the most from a hybrid digital/analog setup.ĭoepfer always nails it when it comes to analogue synths and it’s no different when it comes to sequencers either - the Dark Time proves it! Initially designed as an add-on to the Dark Energy synth, this sequencer comes with two rows with eight knobs, each knob with two switches (skip/off/on and stop/jump/cont) - for controlling the 'steps'.

There’s no shortage of connectivity options, with the Beatstep Pro offering MIDI input/output on ¼” connectors and USB (USB also supplies power), 2 sets of pitch/velocity/gate control voltage (CV) outputs for the monophonic sequencer and 16 drum CV gate outputs for the respective sequencer. On top of that there are variable, probability/random functions and a looper/roller slider for quick stutter and rhythm changes. There are also 16 assignable encoders for note or MIDI CC, but things get more interesting when you discover the 16-track drum sequencer (one track per pad), which, when combined with the other two sequencers and encoder assignments makes what Arturia calls a “project”, which can then be internally stored for quick onboard recall. At its heart there are two monophonic sequencers with up to 64 steps each featuring note, gate time and velocity.
The first Beatstep was quite a hit and despite some initial quirks (which were mostly solved with updates) it became quite popular, so it was basically inevitable that a 'beefed-up' version would surface at some point and Arturia didn’t disappoint with the Beatstep Pro.

Currently only two DAWs (Live and Bitwig) can take full advantage of what it has to offer, but if you’re using other DAWs you can still have some good fun with Push 2 even though it might take a bit of extra effort to set it up. Push also features 10 assignable encoders, a modulation strip, a high-resolution RGB display, plenty of "other" buttons and it’s assembled on a sturdy anodized aluminum chassis to survive the perils of the road. In that regard, it’s sequencing capabilities are quite powerful, with 64 buttons on an 8x8 grid that can be used to trigger notes and build sequences. Push might look odd at first with its button-filled grid layout, but it's a lot more than a simple controller: it’s a MIDI instrument that can act as keyboard, it’s a DAW controller designed specifically with Ableton Live in mind (notably the 'Clip Launch' feature), it’s a “regular” MIDI controller, and it’s also a very capable step sequencer. Ableton revolutionized the music making process with the first Push controller and the second iteration takes things even further.
