Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KeyStep 37 mk2 is a compact white MIDI controller and sequencer with a 37-note Slimkey keyboard, velocity sensitivity, and aftertouch. The added key range gives melodic and bass parts more room than the 32-key format while keeping the series’ compact approach. Use its polyphonic 64-step sequencer, 16-mode arpeggiator, Chord and Scale modes, or hands-on encoders to develop and vary patterns. USB-C MIDI, DIN MIDI, Sync, CV/Gate, and pedal connections let it sit between software and hardware setups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Desktop or travel production setups needing 37 keys, sequencing, and USB-C MIDI bus power.
- Linking MIDI gear, sync-equipped hardware, and CV/Gate destinations from one compact controller.
- Creating and varying polyphonic patterns with the sequencer, arpeggiator, Mutate, Spice, and Dice tools.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- iPad connection without a camera connection kit.
- Users who need more than 37 keys in a single controller.
