Common Arturia KeyStep 37 Questions
How do I sync the KeyStep 37's sequencer/arpeggiator to my DAW (e.g., Ableton Live, Logic Pro)?
Connect the KeyStep 37 to your computer via USB and ensure your DAW recognizes it as a MIDI device. Set your DAW to send MIDI clock and configure the KeyStep 37's MIDI Sync setting (accessible through the Shift + Setup buttons) to 'External' to receive timing information.
Where and how can I store custom sequences or arpeggios that I've created on the KeyStep 37?
The KeyStep 37 doesn't offer built-in storage for sequences or arpeggios; you'll need to record the MIDI output into your DAW or external sequencer for saving and recall.
How do I transpose a sequence or arpeggio while it's playing on the KeyStep 37?
While a sequence is playing, use the octave transpose buttons (+/- OCTAVE) to shift the pitch of the entire sequence up or down in octaves.
My KeyStep 37 is sending MIDI notes to my DAW, but the mod strip isn't controlling the intended parameter (e.g., filter cutoff). What's wrong?
The mod strip defaults to sending MIDI CC#1 (Modulation Wheel); ensure the instrument/plugin in your DAW is mapped to respond to MIDI CC#1 for the desired parameter. You can change which CC number the mod wheel is sending by accessing the MIDI Control Center software.
What are the Chord mode options on the KeyStep 37 and how do I use them effectively?
Chord mode allows you to play complex chords with a single keypress. Cycle through the chord modes (e.g., User, Major, Minor, etc.) with the Chord button, and then play a single note; the KeyStep 37 will generate the corresponding chord based on the selected mode and root note.
