Super durable polycarbonate shell protects delicate keys during transportation and slides straight into a flight case or bag for maximum protection. Finally, the LED strip above the keyboard also displays triggered arpeggios in real-time, so you’ll never lose your place. Up top, the extended keyboard now has key lights, and there’s a new section with four knobs and a button. At the far end of the knob’s range are sync’ed strum speeds, providing an alternative take on arpeggiation.

new controls let you tweak and alter a multitude of settings while you play, making for far more interesting performances!With strum, it’s possible to get sumptuous tremolos between the chord notes, at times reminiscent of the sought-after Suzuki Omnichord sound.

I’ve never fully embraced my OG Keystep as a sequencer/creative tool on its own; just as a set of keys when I feel like playing that way. Strum works especially well with sounds that have a tuned percussion or stringy timbre and with the right settings, can be used to produce pretty unique arpeggio patterns too. To top things off, the Keyboard play mode allows you to switch to playing a live line over the top of a sequence once it’s been triggered. Handily, the control software can be relied on to back-up and edit sequence patterns in a simple and familiar piano roll form.Similarly to the KeyStep Pro, the KeyStep 37 also features four encoders which may be mapped to four banks of MIDI CCs, meaning that 16 parameters are available within quick reach. It's robust and compact build, paired with wide-ranging connectivity options ensures that it's compatible with a range of external hardware and software - no matter where you find yourself. Every aspect of KeyStep 37 enables you to truly savor the creative process, turning every improvised note or idea into a happy accident.

Sequence up to 64-steps with 8-note polyphony and 8 pattern slots, or explore 8 modes of arpeggiation. The most annoying feature is the way all the buttons are blinking hard in your face when activated -- even the octave+/- buttons. Register KeyStep 37 for your free download and get creative right out the box - let the music flow freely. One other thing, which may be changeable via some settings that I have not been able to find, is that if used for sending pitch voltage it seems that the higher voltage cutoff is a little badly placed with the keys.To get to it I think on Syntakt you hold Record + tap Stop, stop again to toggle between Step (every incoming note takes a step on the sequencer) to Jump Step (skips steps based on the Len parameter in Trig page).
