Arturia - Keystep 37 - Creative MIDI Controller, Sequencer, Arpeggiator and Chord Generator - 37-Note Slimkey Keyboard, Assignable MIDI CC Controls, Scale Mode, Versatile Connectivity

Product Information

Enjoy spontaneous MIDI CC control over the parameters of your desktop synths, animate your favorite VST instruments with strummed chord patterns, and sketch freely with your modular setup while staying perfectly in key. It goes further than the usual modes and controls you’d expect, with niceties like exclusive and inclusive up/down mode, variable gate length and swing. To top things off, the Keyboard play mode allows you to switch to playing a live line over the top of a sequence once it’s been triggered.

Meanwhile, a USB connector marries the keyboard with a computer – the unit is bus-powered in this mode – but the keyboard can also be powered from a USB charger in standalone mode or an optional 12v power supply. After all, we’d rather have a greater number of slimmer keys than, say, a couple of octaves of full-size keys. All the other controls carry over from the 32, including the Sequencer/Arp slider switch and eight‑way selector knobs which have a satisfyingly old‑school synth feel. Assignable 16 MIDI CC parameters can be used across four switchable banks to really get the most out of your MIDI hardware and software while the four new controls give you excellent realtime control for truly dynamic performances.It has a lot to appeal to users who want a touch more flexibility than the base model without the multi-track complexity of the flagship.

For me, plocking MIDI cc + having all your sequencing in one place > KSP randomisation features, but everybody’s different.

These are Chord Strum, which will space notes in a chord out to emulate a guitar-like picking, and Velocity to Notes, which allows users to adjust the velocity for individual notes in a chord. It’s a diverse creative tool; whether you want to sequence, arpeggiate or simply refine your creative ideas, KeyStep 37 will give you a leg up.
