Transforms Your Ideas Into Polished Sequences
Building on the success of its predecessor and taking cues from the KeyStep mk2, the Arturia KeyStep 37 mk2 stands as a high-value addition to your creative workflow. This compact, yet eminently powerful, 37-key MIDI controller and sequencer integrates seamlessly with both hardware- and software-centric setups, equipping you with a velocity‑sensitive Slimkey keyboard with aftertouch, capacitive-touch pitch and mod strips, and built‑in Chord and Scale play modes. The KeyStep 37 mk2 is a powerfully inspiring idea generator, thanks to its polyphonic step sequencer, 16-mode arpeggiator, and pattern chaining. That said, most of us around Sweetwater find the 1-touch Mutate tools to be among our favorites, generating evolving melodic and rhythmic variations, all supported by four assignable macro encoders for hands-on control. You also get extensive connectivity, including USB‑C MIDI, MIDI DIN, Sync I/O, pedal input, and four configurable CV outputs, enabling you to deploy it in software, hardware, and hybrid setups with equal aplomb. Additionally, the KeyStep 37 mk2 features an easy-to-read OLED screen and an intuitive push encoder, ensuring lightning-fast navigation with minimal unwanted menu diving. Producers searching for a streamlined MIDI controller with tons of onboard music creation tools will find endless uses for the KeyStep 37 mk2.
