Add a wealth of creative chord, scale and MIDI functions and an expanded interface with tactile new controls. The Arp and Sequencer both benefit from a new scale option, which contains notes to a chosen mode and key. WARNING: When your Decksaver cover is in place, please ensure that your equipment is kept away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, fires and direct sunlight.
An accessible interface, a compact design and comprehensive connectivity make it the perfect centerpiece for your rig - whatever your needs. 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.The 37 can do this and a lot more besides, being able to auto‑generate chords of various types, choose the number of notes, and transpose in key within a selected scale. Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. I’d like to be able to sequence the OP-1 from the Keystep, use the Keystep to input into the OP-1’s sequencers (all of them - yes, looking at you, Endless) and use the Keystep to play the OP-1 synths and samplers, and start and stop the OP-1 tape.
Important to note that it’s got to be the auto channel: it won’t work if the notes are going to the MIDI channel that a specific track is set to. The Arturia KeyStep 37 also comes with a free copy of Ableton live Lite which allows you to get into creating and producing music on your Mac or PC with ease. Since I’ve have such various results with different midi controllers, I don’t wanna go for this until I can get some kind of confirmation from another user that this works.It’s perhaps a little harder to hold down chords if you have chunky fingers, however fast, monophonic solos with jumps well in excess of an octave are a breeze. And you can choose whether sequence changes are queued, instant and reset, or instant from the same step position. Main differences are more CV outputs (useless if you don’t have modular gear), more sequencer tracks (mostly useful if you have multiple hardware synths), drum sequencer (could be useful even for sequencing DAW since it has a nice workflow with setting each lane to different lengths, but you’ll have some DAW equivalent and of course your Syntakt…). You can overdub or replace notes in real time within the current loop, or use the Append mode to keep adding extra notes to the end of the sequence. Any instrument suddenly becomes dynamic and controllable in the same way as stringed instruments like a guitar or harp.
It's not trying to be invisible, as a controller should IMHO; instead it's trying very hard to get noticed. Keys are a bit narrow and feel a little plasticky but otherwise the build quality is absolutely excellent. Decksaver LE (Light Edition) covers are designed, tested and manufactured in exactly the same way as our standard covers and also made from super-tough polycarbonate. Just Smaller Majella Audio Implexus Analog Synthesizer Review East + West Coast Combined—Or Is It Something More?Arturia have designed the KeyStep 37 to integrate well with your existing setup and it can be hooked up to your synth hardware with MIDI in/out and it's great for controlling VST instruments with MIDI over USB. Choose from 12 chord types, an array of strum effects, and spread the voices out into complex velocity-sensitive parts that respond like a stringed instrument. It's responsive, dynamic, expanded in every direction to encourage musical exploration - the controller that’s built to inspire. As well as USB there’s regular 5‑pin DIN MIDI In and Out, a modular voice set of Pitch, Gate and Mod, analogue clock in and out, and a sustain pedal input. This is augmented by Scale mode; this allows you to map the 3-octave keyboard range using your preferred scale.
