Step is the first fully programmable drum machine in pedal format. It’s an instrument, a co-writer, an accompaniment at a live performance, or a bandmate in an empty studio. Designed with the flexibility to instantly start a unique song but with deep customization options to quickly create fresh beats. Step is for everyone – everyone that isn’t afraid to experiment, take chances, try something new, and create original music.

4 Customizable Drum Tracks
Step is a 4 track drum machine with a complete interface. Easily control all parameters for each of the 16 steps on the face of the pedal, no computer editor needed.

Mix & Match
How about an electronic snare with a jazzy kick? With Step, with a twist of a knob, you can create your sound pack by combining sounds from different Kits.

Instant Drum Beat Generator
Tap in the tempo, turn the Beat and Kit knobs to find your groove and play! There are 300 rhythms and 500 kits – it gives tons of combinations.

Modern Sound
With over 2000 samples, from the sounds of classic analog machines to acoustic drums, anyone can find the sound they
want. And, if you’re going to create your kits, you can easily do it, too.

Per-Step Control
Customize over 15 parameters for each track’s drum sound on a per-step basis. Switch up hi-hat velocity, add reverb to a final crash or throw in a 10% chance for a drum roll.

A Thousand Songs
Create and play complete 16-part songs, easily put together by quick-copying patterns, selecting new beats or making your own. Then make a playlist and go live!

Stomp-In FX
Use the FX stomp-switch to punch in customized effects from delays, reverbs, loopers, rearranges and more. Every pattern in your song can have a different stomp-in effect.

Expansive Connectivity
Step has all the connectivity you need, stereo input and output, MIDI in and out, expression pedal input, and micro SD card storage with USB-C connectivity.

Nerdy on Demand
Need polymetric or polyrhythmic beats? Or maybe some generative drums? Step offers per-track swing, speed and length, step probability, randomized note playback, and more. You don’t have to get nerdy with Step, but you can!
