ARTURIA KeyStep 37

Description

The KeyStep 37 may seem like an extended version of the KeyStep, one of Arturia's biggest successes in recent years, but it is actually a reduced version of the KeyStep Pro, the flagship of the French company's Step series. Arturia's new product goes beyond a simple 64-step sequencer with arpeggiator and MIDI master keyboard: it is a perfect controller for all types of applications, versatile and suitable for many different contexts, from live sets to studio production.Arturia KeyStep 37 features a velocity-sensitive 37-key keyboard, with aftertouch and RGB LED feedback for note tracking, all completed by an extremely compact and ultra-light design. At the center of the control panel stands out one of the main innovations: 4 new potentiometers and an LED screen, which provide instant access to new expressive tools and all advanced MIDI control functionalities.The controls introduced with this latest 37-key version allow you to make the most of KeyStep 37's new and improved unique Chord functionality. You can choose between 12 chord types and a series of 'strum' effects with the possibility of best emulating typical string instruments.The Scale mode, which automatically quantizes the closest note to the chosen scale, completes the rich features of this 'all-in-one' controller. There are no other controllers in this price range that can guarantee MIDI and CV connectivity, polyphonic sequencer and arpeggiator, as well as all the other powerful functionalities implemented in the KeyStep 37.Main features:• 37-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch• RGB LED indicators on the keyboard for note tracking• 64-step sequencer per sequence with 8 patterns• Up to 8 notes of polyphony per step• Step recording and live recording sequencer modes• Arpeggiator with 8 different modes• Mono and overdub recording options• Chord mode with strum, velocity and note controls• Scale mode to quantize the keyboard to a chosen scale• 5 scales to choose from, including a user-definable one• 16 assignable and adjustable MIDI CC controls• USB, MIDI, CV and clock connectivity• Includes Ableton Live Lite and MIDI Control Center software
