Here's a video where you can hear what Keystep MKII SOUNDS like to make music with. I'll makeall the melodies on Keystep MKII, capturing its MIDI on my Cirklon sequencer - trying Keystep MKII's core features to make all the melodies in the video. What does Mutate sound like? Spice? Etc. So you can see what it might be like as a master keyboard for your jams.
Thanks to Arturia themselves for funding a vid demo of Keystep. Keysteps continue to be really useful/inspiring keebs (and given how many folks use them I think you probably know that).
