Presentation
Arturia's built-in polyphonic sequencer helps you structure your musical ideas with stable, evolving precision. You can record several notes simultaneously, change their duration, add rests or build complete sequences using the built-in pattern chaining. This architecture encourages a continuous creative flow, even when you're exploring unexpected directions. The advanced functions also allow you to keep interesting variations, making each musical project lively and fresh, without constantly relying on your computer.
Thanks to the built-in arpeggiator modes, KeyStep 37 mk2 instantly enriches your sequences with coherent, dynamic rhythmic structures. You can easily select a direction, octave range or rhythmic variation, generating inspiring patterns with just a few simple gestures. This feature helps keep your inspiration flowing, even when your brain mysteriously decides to think about pizzas instead of scales.
The KeyStep 37 mk2's extensive connectivity makes it easy to integrate into any hardware and software environment. You connect your controller via USB-C, MIDI DIN or CV/Gate outputs, so you can control analogue synths, modulars or virtual instruments with equal ease.
