Product Information

The only thing you can’t do (which you can on the MicroFreak) is capture the result to a slot in the Sequencer.

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. 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. 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. It's re-sponsive, dynamic, expanded in every direction to encourage musical exploration - the controller that’s built to inspire.Like KeyStep and KeyStep Pro before it, KeyStep 37 offers unique features not found in any other product. Unit 4 - Carberry Court 28 Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Hillington Park, Glasgow, United Kingdom, G52 4NQ. Four new knobs with an LED screen can be found in the centre of the KeyStep 37's control panel giving you hands-on, instant access to great new tools. Just register your KeyStep to receive your free download and get creative right out the box and let the music flow. Pitch bend and modulation controls add to this positive experience, especially since contrasting pitch bend values can be accessed quickly by touching opposite ends of the control strip in close succession, giving greater speed to bends.

Namely, a row of handy RGB LEDs live above the keys that signify notes being played back from sequences and arpeggiations.But more than that it’s an inspiring musical companion and idea generator for any synth, sequencing workstation or DAW.
