Description
- A controller, evolved. KeyStep 37 combines a flexible 37-note keyboard with intuitive sequencing, instant chord generation and creative real-time MIDI controls that let you discover and interact with music like never before.
Inspiration in the journey
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. Enjoy the unexpected.
Chord mode
Transform a single-note melody into a chord sequence at the touch of a button. Use the 4 new controls to choose from 12 chord voicings, including a user-defined chord, for distinct harmonic flavours.
MIDI CC control
Use the expanded control panel to interact with your MIDI hardware and software in real-time. Tweak up to 16 assignable MIDI CC parameters across 4 switchable colour-coded banks. Easily assign your own CC values to each bank using the panel itself, or via the free MIDI Control Center software. Personalise the way KeyStep 37 communicates with your desktop synths, modular gear and VST instruments
Scale mode
However you choose to explore with KeyStep 37, you’ll never go out of key. Activate scale mode to quantize any notes you play to a scale of your choice. Choose from chromatic (default), major, minor, blues, or a user-defined scale. Use with the sequencer or arpeggiator to freely sketch, compose or improvise ideas in perfect harmony.
