New Arturia stuff coming end of July these look pretty cool indeed. I already have the white KSP tho.

It’s a shame they’re not orange.

Not sure if it’s because I’m familiar with the regular KeyStep Pro, but the black one looks weird/wrong to me…

I always thought the white one looked weird. This is much better imo

Keystep 37 and little 32 also available in black. I’ll get un upgrade
It’s the colours. They would look better a bit more muted, or darker imo.

Looking forward to picking up a cheap second-hand white…!

Yes, I agree, the BSPro looks better for having one less clashing colour… different tones of one colour would’ve looked cool/mean on the KSP.
I like the white one because it looks playful, slight Casio vibe, and it understates how powerful it is as a sequencer.
… and they get me to buy duplicates yet again with the black versions.
is the black keystep pro any different than the previous black version? I don’t have mine around to compare with.

I have a black AR, a black OT. My Rev2 is 90% black. My keyboard stand is black. The rack and three of the five units in it are black. My studio room was quite dark 'til I put a billion lumens of LEDs in the ceiling fixture. The black boxes suck all the light and energy out of the space, and they’re harder to read for those of us with less-than-ideal eyesight. I’d value more colourful gear, labelled with well-adjusted contrast in slightly larger fonts.
I regret not getting grey Elektrons. There, I finally said it. My next gear purchases are gonna make you put sunglasses on.

These will be new only if these cosmetic changes are accompanied by firmware updates and new functionalities 
BSP black was out before, bought one in 2018 iirc. They sold out fast, these will probably not go so fast, a lot more competition these days I reckon.
