Arturia KeyStep 37 mk2 – Creative master keyboard, versatile and designed for hybrid configurations
The KeyStep 37 mk2 is much more than just a master keyboard : it is a true musical control center, designed to accompany both modern producers and live performers. Thanks to his keyboard Slimkey 37 expressive keys with velocity and aftertouch, advanced gaming modes and full connectivity – MIDI DIN, CV/Gate, USB-C and Sync – it allows to drive simultaneously a DAW, analog synthesizers, a modular system and conventional MIDI devices.
Its display OLED, its four intelligent encoders and its button Control offer direct access to the essential parameters according to the selected mode: Sequencer, Arpegiator, Chord or Mutate. Fully "mode-aware", the interface continuously adapts to user workflow, with a visual feedback RGB LED clear and immediate.
KeyStep 37 mk2 offers generative creation tools as Mutate, Spice and Dice, enabling a simple motif to be transformed into a living, evolving and inspiring musical material into real time. Whether to improvise, compose a complete track or experiment in a modular setup, these tools encourage discovery and variation.
Thanks to its universal compatibility – Cv/Gate, MIDI DIN, USB-C, Sync In/Out, modular outputs – KeyStep 37 mk2 becomes the core of any hybrid installation. It works as well with a DAW as with hardware: sequencers, modular synthesizers, drum machines, MIDI expanders, etc.
