Arturia KeyStep 37

The Arturia KeyStep 37

With the KeyStep 37 Arturia introduces the further development of the successful KeyStep. The 37-key keyboard of the USB/DAW controller is velocity sensitive and has aftertouch. Also new is the LED above each keyboard key, which light up when playing in but also when playing the internal sequencer or notes from a DAW track. The sequencer itself is monophonic or polyphonic programmable, can have a step length of up to 64 steps and can also overdub if needed; eg. and replace notes or add more. The four knobs are organized in four banks and are thus assignable to up to 16 parameters. The internal arpeggiator retains its functionality and is adjusted with its own knobs, just like its predecessor. In addition, the chord mode has been significantly expanded: the four knobs are used to tune the held chord. Thanks to the selectable scales, the KeyStep 37 covers a range of scales that move outside of 12-tone music and are also user-definable. On the connection side, the Arturia KeyStep 37 leaves nothing to be desired: analog outputs for CV, Gate and Mod, MIDI In/Out, an input for a sustain pedal, Sync In/Out (e.g. for Teenage Engineering PO series) and of course USB.
