Arturia KeyStep 37 is a portable USB MIDI keyboard that combines the functions of a controller with a 64-step sequencer, featuring a 37-key mini keyboard (slim keys) with velocity and aftertouch. It is responsive, dynamic, and extensive in all directions to encourage musical exploration – a controller built to inspire.
More means more: The familiar KeyStep formula, expanded. KeyStep 37 features a velocity-sensitive keyboard with 37 notes, complete with aftertouch and RGB LED feedback, while remaining easy and compact.
At the centre of the control panel, you will find 4 new buttons with an LED screen, giving you instant access to new expressive tools and MIDI adjustments – total creative control.
Interactive music: The new controls unlock the unique and enhanced chord mode of the KeyStep 37. Choose from 12 types of chords, a variety of strum effects, and distribute voices in complex velocity-sensitive parts that respond like a string instrument.
Configure the 3-octave range of the KeyStep 37 keyboard with a scale of your choice using the Scale mode. Any notes played will automatically quantise to the nearest notes in the chosen scale.
Connect to the internal functions of your MIDI equipment and software with 16 assignable MIDI CC parameters across 4 switchable banks. Use the 4 new controls to adjust settings in real-time for dynamic performances.
The core of your setup: KeyStep 37 is designed to take control. An accessible interface, compact design, and comprehensive connectivity make it the perfect centrepiece for your gear – regardless of your needs.
Connect synth hardware with MIDI in/out. Control your favourite VST instruments via MIDI over USB. Use the CV pitch, gate, and mod connections for modular integration. Analog sync in/out keeps everything in time without headaches. The best part? Use them all at the same time.
