Lots of nice new features this time around. Particularly like the new arp and chord mode features that let you record them to the sequencer. The step listen is a huge productivity jump.
Also, holy crap these things have gone up in price.

Uh huh, now nearly five times what I paid for my Keystep OG. Is it worth five times as much? Moot question as far as I’m concerned, I’m not in the market for a $500 controller regardless of how good it is.
I just dont get why its gone up in price.
Components shortage?

I just checked this out because I was starting to wonder if Behringer had followed through. I mean, it’s a MIDI keyboard with a built-in sequencer, and Bax Music UK lists it for £73 (which includes 20% VAT.) While Bax do list Arturia’s original Keystep for £99, it’s officially out of stock and anyway they’ll deliver a Keystep 37 in 2 working days for just £10 more. The difference is worth it for a full three-octave span, in my opinion. At this level I assume the market is keenly price-sensitive so this kind of competition makes good commercial sense. Behringer sells lots of similarly low-cost semi-modular synths like Neutron and Crave so they can obviously gain by harvesting the point-of-sale opportunities those products generate. It’s like a flat screen TV company producing its own branded sound bar. The same commercial justification applies.
