After owning this device for 3 years and only learning these features now, I really wish I read the manual.

Best short video ever on the keystep

[@akanmiracles]

AMEN. I ORDERED ONE AFTER WATCHING .....

[@keyboardguy8229]

Thanks! Great and clean overview on the new features! Looks like it’s time for an upgrade.

[@SurvivalReview]

Exactly the info I was looking for thanks Matthew

[@hunter8980]

This is a Very helpful video! I purchased a Keystep 37 from Guitar Center. I got lot of tips on keystep 37 from this video. Thanks Mathew!

[@sean808080]

what a great demo. nicely done. I have one of these and you break it down so well!

[@therealfaintinggoat]

Found you on Jeremy's channel. Great tutorial! Concise and informative. Cheers!

Great video

[@MichaelVawter]

well done, dude. and wow - i gotta get one!

[@EZBOT_]

Thanks! Grab one quick!

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

Okay, I wanted one because it was a keystep with more keys and a screen but I didn't realize it had all this stuff!

[@feliciagal9752]

And this have Power Button !!

[@faculea7680]

Hi, can I transpose the whole keyboard e.g half step down to play a C note to sound a B or the function is just to use with sequencer?. Thanks.

[@JohnTrasher]

How does the cv work? Only played notes or can it be used to pass MIDI in notes to the cv out? Also, can you change the modout to velocity instead of modwheel data?

[@g3cd]

Also note while the original Keystep worked with 9V 0.5A and could be powered from a pedal board, the Keystep 37 requires 12V and 1.5A. That's quite a bummer 🙁

[@LtCore]

Great video! I’m new to MIDI keyboards. Using my iPad Pro and audio interface, can this keyboard act as a regular keyboard without using the sequencer and arp? Seems really powerful!

[@jhop127]

It does indeed mate it works just the same :)

[@chiowa]

Still waiting on Arturia to implement the chord and strum mode into the KSP. weird that the more expensive model doesnt have the same features

[@tobiaswinkler6971]

they have not? i thought the idea came from the KSP?

[@Massproduce201]

Hello so this sends power and midi through one cable??

[@Regour]

Hi Matthew! I recently buy volca sample 2 and I can't connect it to my arterial key step 37, ( I try the global setting function ) but it doesn't work well, can you help me plz?

[@ven11235]

What camera/lens are you using? Thanks for the video?

[@gerinovmedto3127]

what usb hub are you using here to connect the keystep to computer?

[@jamespark1582]

Are keystep37 and keystep keybed the same?

[@deanc2000]

Would this controller be able to output the midi from the sequencer or the strummer, or the arpeggiator to a DAW? So, the midi out would be connected to a synth, and then the synth audio outputs would be connected to the audio interface, right? So then you couldn't record the midi, just the audio.

[@HamiltonSeen]

You can record both the midi and audio in your DAW.

[@KeyDyer]

Maybe a silly question - does it produce its own sounds? Or is it only a midi controller/sequencer

[@aavel1964]

it´s only a midi controller mate!

[@saunariot5123]

can you assign a different chord to each key so you can make progressions?

[@PatchwerksSeattle]

It can do that for you!

[@schmapps1]

@@PatchwerksSeattle old comment but…could you elaborate on that? It seems to me that when you select a chord type, that same chord type will transpose with each key press. I can’t see how you can make each key press, a different chord type?

[@cbrooks0905]

Where is the music coming from? Is this patched into a daw or does it have sounds built in? I’m confused.

[@PatchwerksSeattle]

It is connected to Bitwig 3.0

[@vlads2361]

There is a thin transparent film on the black panel with 4 knobs. There are a lot of air bubbles underneath it. Does it need to be removed?

[@Claidheambmor]

If you take it off the internal black hole conduit will be unleashed and you will be sucked into a parallel dimension where silly questions are punishable by death.

[@vlads2361]

@@Claidheambmor 🤦‍♂️

[@Tyetheberious]

How do the keys feel on this, vs maybe the NI M32?

[@bartjanc]

I wanna know as well

[@rock-modemusiclewrock9372]

is the sound generated from the computer?

[@HamiltonSeen]

Or from a synthesizer or other sound source. This is 100% just a midi controller. It makes no noises on it's own.

[@rock-modemusiclewrock9372]

@@HamiltonSeen I tried using the computer program that cane with it and I can't get them to link

[@rock-modemusiclewrock9372]

Came with it I meant..cant get the sounds to come thru..can I do a video..thanks.

[@VinylLS.]

Has the original Keystep functions that the new Keystep 37 does not?

[@HamiltonSeen]

Nope. Everything that it had, and more.

[@pardee2112]

transpose?

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

clears your mess, after your crazy party

[@vz-v]

Hear the disgust when he says "usb B micro". 🤣🤣

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Still don't understand why they keep coming up with new USB and ...connector HOLES types, years after years... USB A, B, C, USB B mini, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, MiniDisplay Port, HDMI, Micro HDMI... I mean, come on, people, just change the speed of the PORT, HUB, HOST... those MB transfer ratios per second, as tech improves with time, BUT let the cable BE A CABLE. A cable with a SINGLE TYPE OF HEAD that PLUGS into something. Are there like people in a company who have this trademarks or patents or something, that need to come up with new types of cables and port, to maintain some cashflow...? I do not get it.

[@vz-v]

@@WEHAVETHISDREAM Exactly right because they want to control the new patent and more cashflow.
