Enhanced Playability

The same velocity-sensitive 37-note keybed as the KeyStep Pro, complete with aftertouch and RGB LED feedback. A lightweight and compact keyboard that offers full and familiar creative flexibility, whatever your style or ability.

At the center of KeyStep 37's interface we've added 4 new control knobs with a screen, giving you instant access to inspiring new expressive tools and MIDI tweaking - total control.

Music Made Interactive

KeyStep 37's unique & enhanced Chord mode takes your single note melodies and unfinished ideas and transforms them into musical stepping stones. Choose from multiple voicings, instrument-like strum effects, and velocity settings and make your music really sing.

Map out KeyStep 37's 3-octave keyboard range with a scale of your choice using Scale mode. Any key you play will automatically quantize to the nearest note in the chosen scale - never play a wrong note again.

Tap into the inner workings of your MIDI hardware and software with assignable 16 MIDI CC parameters across 4 switchable banks. Use the 4 new controls to tweak settings on the fly for dynamic performances.

The Core of Your Setup

KeyStep 37 is designed to be put in control. An accessible interface, a compact design and comprehensive connectivity make it the perfect centerpiece for your rig - whatever your needs.

Hook up your synth hardware with MIDI in/out. Control your favorite VST instruments with MIDI over USB. Use CV pitch, gate and mod connections for modular integration. Analog sync in/out keeps everything in time without hassle. The best bit? Use it all at the same time.

37-Note Keybed: Arturia's popular "Slimkeys" design with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch.

Arpeggiator Mode: Animate your chords with ease - up, down, inclusive, exclusive, 3 random modes, and note order.

Sequencer Mode: 8 Polyphonic step-sequences with Rest, Tie, and Legato note entry. Each sequence can have 64 steps, and each step can have up to 8 notes.

Chord Mode/Scale Quantization: Create your own custom chord or browse through the list of pre-defined ones. Quickly edit the number of notes in the chord, and use to create a strum effect. Quantize notes to a list of standard - or user definable scales. The LEDs above the keys immediately tell you which notes are allowed in the scale.

Tempo and Transport Controls: Easily stay in control of your performance with dedicated buttons.

4 Rotary Knobs: 4 accessible banks of 4 CCs, letting you bridge the gap between your controller and your software or hardware instruments.

Visual Feedback LEDs: See how your sequence is advancing, and what notes are playing with per-key LEDs.

Connection Is Key

Connectivity has always been at the core of the Step range. KeyStep 37 is no exception - command every aspect of your setup with ease.

Sustain input, USB, and Power Supply
