This keyboard is the stuff

I love you using my key strap for three reasons one it's portable 2 is full size and three it's super responsive plus you can't beat the fact that it comes with Labs intro and it comes with Ableton live light for the deal I definitely can't go wrong plus being as integrated in music as I am I need a keyboard that can keep up with me or to you definitely does the job I recommend them to anybody looking for a good keyboard and they're trying to get serious about music

Essential DAWless Centerpiece

The Arturia Keystep 37 is a compact MIDI controller that has become a core piece of my dawless setup. Its both simple in its form and interface making it incredibly easy to sketch ideas without needing a screen. Despite its simplicity, it offers deep control over my gear. For anyone aiming to keep things tactile and creative without a DAW, the Keystep is an essential centerpiece.

The keyboard for note entry

I'm not a keyboardist. That said, I need a way to get notes into my mixes with velocity and aftertouch. I don't need 37 keys. Heck, I don't need 32 keys. If they made a smaller one with less keys, I'd buy it. I'm usually putting notes in one at a time with a midi tracker. Until they make a smaller one, this is it. That said, it feels great. I haven't made the jump to MPE and honestly probably won't until that industry standardizes on a shape.

Still a great choice in 2025

Ive been using the key step for years and it's still a great midi controller. Arturia made a solid instrument here and it's still worth it now in 2025. If mine broke today, I would replace it immediately.

An extremely play-able midi controller with superior build quality

Here is the deal. For the price, you likely wont get a better "feeling" keyboard than the Arturia Keystep 32. I have several under-$200 midi controllers and keyboards, and the build quality on this guy sets the bar at this price range. Like its brother, the very popular "Beatstep", It has a nice weight to it and feels like a product that was made with the utmost care. My computer recognized it easily and I was able to get a midi signal instantly in every DAW I tested it in. (This includes Studio One Pro 3, Samplitude Pro X3, Mulab 7, Reason 9, Fl 12, Tracktion 7, and Reaper) My favorite feature of this controller is however, the actual key bed itself. These self described "Mini Keys" are not full size nor are they really tiny like those found on the Akai MPK Mini. They are somewhere in between the two, and boy do they feel right when put to use! They don't feel cheap or springy like many other entry-level controllers and because of this the Keystep has become my go-to midi keyboard when recording on the road or in my home studio.My only complaint is that the Transport buttons (stop,play,& record) on the controller are only usable for the built in sequencer and as DAW transport controls. Of course this is only a very minor oversight and may not even be relevant to those out there who already have a DAW controller they use for transport controls. It would be convenient though to at least have the option to make this your main controller to speed up workflow or to use on the road. The sequencing and arp features are very well integrated and though I wont go into detail on them, I would suggest a good read-through of the Keystep manual to fully take advantage of these features.All in all, despite the lack of proper DAW transport controls, the Keystep is in a class of its own in terms of quality,build, and most importantly, play-ability. Well done Arturia.

also comes with bonus software downloads . . . including ableton live 9 lite!!!

i just received my KeyStep this afternoon, and it may be a little while before i get a good block of time with it. i am somewhat a newbie to this kind of musical equipment and recently, have been busier than usual . . . But this keyboard looks quite solid, receiving dis-proportional good review, also a nice size; having 7 more than the more common 25 keys, and these are also larger than a "mini" keyboard . . . so far, am more than glad I chose this product over some prominent "others" that were clearly advertising inclusion of the Ableton 9 lite software (that i could only wish this keyboard included when i chose it in spite of believing it didn't)So I have to comment concerning my complete surprise and sharing this fact for someone considering this keyboard ---- people should know . . . it is both a significant, and a very awesome plus to me that this DOES come with software downloads --- including the Ableton Live 9 Lite software ! ! ! (over a Gigabyte of software downloads all-in-all) I had already been searching related products, somewhat resigned to a necessity i would need to make additional hardware purchases just in order to get this kind of "bonus" necessary software . . . software i was completely unaware the Keystep already included. So, great!! And for the life of me, I still can't find where this is mentioned anywhere in the product listing or any of the other reviews. I must have missed it? However, it it is very clearly stated on the Product packaging . . .so I've just downloaded a firmware update, Ableton Lite, Arturia Midi Control Center plus a 'gift' software promotion "MiniFilter V" that is offered upon completing registration of the product. As reviewers have pointed out in their reviews of other similar midi products , the equivalent Ableton introductory software retails at about $80 as a standalone purchase --give or take a few $$$. Knowing all of this now ---this product is a no-brainer and a bargain for an introductory item in its class

Great size, fits on my desk , keys large enough to play

Lots of options with the Keystep. I use it with my Arp 2600

Great for the price

For the price-this can't be beat. I primarily bought this to have a real, hardware sequencer, but I can use this as my primary recording keyboard for the most part by using the sound samples in my recording software (MixCraft). Heck, I can even connect this via MIDI into my old fashioned, much-loved rack mount type Roland hardware sample rack. No complaints here!!!
