KeyStep 37 mk2

Controller & sequencer

Step into
your next idea

KeyStep 37 mk2 is more than keys. It’s a sequencer, arpeggiator, and musical nerve-centre that bridges hardware and software so you can compose, jam, and perform anywhere your ideas take you.

Hands-on control

Play, arpeggiate, and sequence ideas the moment they strike. KeyStep 37’s OLED display, 4 mode-aware encoders, and full RGB feedback also make every edit fast and intuitive.

Generative creativity

Capture a riff, turn it into a sequence, then transform it with mutation tools and real-time performance control. Keep inspiration flowing with features that invite constant discovery and movement.

Universal connectivity

Command modular, vintage, and modern gear alongside your DAW. Controllable CV/Gate, MIDI DIN, Sync I/O, and USB-C keep every piece of your setup talking, and in time.

Control & sequence
anything

From sketching a melody to shaping full arrangements, KeyStep 37 mk2 keeps ideas on the move. Every touch, twist, and note responds instantly, letting you build, evolve, and perform without interruption.

Slimkey keybed: 37 expressive keys with velocity & aftertouch.

16 mode arpeggiator: From simple cycles to creative melodic textures.

Pitch & mod touch strips: Smooth bends and modulation plus live Gate/Spice/Dice sliders.

4 mode-aware encoders: Instant access to Seq/Arp/Chord/Mutate editing.

Mutate, Spice & Dice: Instant, musical variations and controlled randomness.

Controllable CV/Gate outputs: Four outputs for pitch, gate, and modulation — with flexible mapping.

Polyphonic step sequencer: Record or program up to 64 steps of 8-note polyphony.

Chord & Scale modes: Lock to a key and trigger full chords for harmonic flow.

Full-size MIDI DIN + Sync I/O: Seamless DAW, hardware, and Eurorack integration.

Inspiration
on command

From first riff to full pattern, KeyStep 37 mk2 is designed for hands-on evolution. Trigger sequences, tweak arp behavior, and dial in performance changes with immediate controls. Overdub, record automation, and transform an idea in seconds, without breaking tempo.

More keys
deeper control

KeyStep 37 mk2 expands the mk2 workflow with extra playing range, dedicated hands-on controls, and performance-ready shortcuts — letting you tweak all the details in real time.

More keys, clearer feedback

Five extra keys give you more range for two-hand parts and wider chord shapes. LEDs above the keys keep you oriented at a glance — sequence progress, banks, patterns, and scale context.

Mode-aware encoders

A dedicated Control button and 4 encoders put core edits under your fingers while playing. Switch between Seq, Arp, Chord, and Mutate, and the encoders automatically remap to the parameters that matter in the moment.

Deeper MIDI + CV control

Tap MIDI CC for 16 assignable controls across 4 banks, mapped to the encoders and available across modes. Plus, controllable CVMOD outputs let you adapt modulation type and range to your modular gear fast.

3 modes
working as one

KeyStep 37 mk2’s modes work in synergy to keep ideas evolving - capture a riff, turn it into a sequence, mutate it, and keep the momentum alive.

Sequencer mode

Create and play back polyphonic patterns. Chain, overdub, undo, mutate, automate bends/mod, and transform sequences live - great for hardware rigs and sketching ideas in your DAW.

Arpeggiator mode

Choose from 16 arp types including Poly, Walk, Pattern, and Random. Phrase Arp remaps your sequence to played notes for immediate, musical mutations.

Controller mode

With MIDI, USB, and CV, KeyStep 37 mk2 handles it all. Use it as a central controller to sequence gear, input chords, or modulate CV synths from one compact keyboard.

Every port
every possibility

KeyStep 37 mk2 is your universal creative interface. Patch into modular systems, control synths from past and present, and synchronize your drum machines. Ready to command any setup - live, in the studio, or on the move.

Digital & analog, unified

Full-size MIDI DIN I/O for classic hardware, USB-C for DAWs and soft-synths, and assignable CV/Gate for modular.

CV for modular minds

Four CV/Gate outs mappable to velocity, aftertouch, mod-wheel, and more. Patch lines, open filters, ping envelopes: expressive control.

Sync, sustain & convert

3.5 mm Sync In/Out for vintage gear, TRS sustain/expression input for feel, plus MIDI In → CV to play modular from external keys.

Richard Devine

DJ / Producer

"The keystep 37 has been actually really great for quickly making sequences on my eurorack system here. So fast and intuitive. So hands on and easy to program. It’s also a great size doesn’t take up much space but packs a lot of functionality into compact well thought out design."

Hannes Bieger

Producer, sound engineer

"My favorite feature is the arpeggiator. With its various patterns and the Mutate and Spice features it doesn’t only provide inspiration for music creation, it also doubles as a very dynamic live performance tool. Between the arpeggiator, the sequencer, the knobs and not to forget, the ribbon controllers I love how much expression the Keystep provides in such a small package!"

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Producer, composer

"The new key step 37 has so much more control and power over accuracy when clocking with other gear. It has a lot more diversity to its variability for arpeggiated shapes and creating music that feels more alive in its dynamics."

Maarten Vos

Composer / Producer

"The original KeyStep has been a staple in my setup for a long time, but the KeyStep 37 is a solid step up. As someone into modular synths, being able to tweak sequence length and quantization on the fly is great for any CV gear. It's also way more intuitive now that I can use the four knobs to adjust the arpeggiator and sequencer settings on the fly."

Leona Jacewska

Prodcuer, composer

""A highly creative tool, especially for harmonies and melodies. The Mutate function generates unexpected grooves that keep things inspiring and fresh. Excellent for sequencing my vintage gear, powerful, intuitive, and quick to learn. Perfect for travel, lightweight and compact, yet incredibly powerful. I used it for my last live show; it delivered an expressive performance.""

Gearnews

On KeyStep 37 mk2

"The beauty of the KeySteps is their easy-to-understand operation and creatively useful functionality. Should you dump your Mk.1 for a Mk.2? I guess that depends on whether you're happy to tweak your knowledge in exchange for some seriously useful improvements. The KeyStep 37 Mk.2 is a breeze to use and delivers inspiration and fun in equal measure."

Hispasonic

On KeyStep 37 mk2

"A surprising and addictive back-and-forth between arpeggios and sequences, with patterns that not only transpose but also fold into harmony from the keys."

Projet Home Studio

On KeyStep 37 mk2

"the KeyStep 37 Mk2 is clearly a very good controller. It manages to be both compact and particularly feature-rich, without falling into unnecessary excess."

KVR Audio

On KeyStep 37 mk2

"The Keystep 37 MK2 takes the success of the recently updated 25 key model and ’steps' it up a notch with excellent visual feedback and additional hands on controls, making it a brilliant addition to a live set-up."
