story starts
Fast forward to 2011, and digital was dominating. Software instruments were all the rage, and every popular hardware synth was digital in nature.
[...] when, at NAMM 2012, Arturia announced their first analog keyboard, the MiniBrute, armed with great sound and a price less than half that of its competition. Arturia had the foresight to recognize and inspire a coming trend: the re-emergence and eventual dominance of analog synthesis. Their timing couldn’t have been better.

Technology
Anatomy of the Step
The technology that sets the Step range apart, setting the standard for creative sequencing and studio synchronization.
Multi-functionality : Software controllers, sequencers, portable keyboards, CV hubs. Every member of the Step range could be considered multiple devices in one, with numerous functions engineered to fit into whatever setup you choose.
Customization : Beyond being intelligent hardware controllers, the Step range also integrates neatly with software, complete with the dedicated MIDI Control Centre app. This lets you create sequences, swap custom templates, change velocity curves, and much more.
CV integration : Setting the bar for CV compatibility, each Step controller has a variety of CV connections for controlling hardware synths, drum machines, and modular rigs, for sequencing, triggering, clocking, modulation, and everything in between.
