You only have to search for ’61 key MIDI controller’ and they all look the same – 8 drum pads, 8 knobs and 9 sliders plus pitch bend and mod wheels. Perhaps it is too much of a direct copy, and they missed an opportunity to expand on the feature set if you ask me. The Behringer Swing is priced at $99 USD and is expected to start shipping next week. Can be powered by Apple iPad (via camera connection kit) or standalone DC Jack (not included).Connect with MIDI, CV/Gate, DIN Sync, and Sync I/O.Shift function includes MIDI channel selection, gate time, swing values.Sustain via hold button or through an optional sustain pedal (not included).Performance control includes Rec, Play, and Stop buttons for the sequencer and arpeggiator.Chord Play Mode with single chord memory with up to 16 notes for extensive loops and long-playing samples. ![]() Arpeggiator mode features, up, down, inclusive, exclusive, random, note order, double up and double down modes.64-step sequencer features 8-note polyphonic sequence with Rest, Tie, and Legato note entry.32 minikeys featuring velocity and after-touch functionality.The Behringer Swing (shown at top in the above photo) has the same connectivity options and layout as the Keystep.īehringer says that the Swing will retail for about $99, about $30 less than the street price of the Arturia Keystep. The design similarities continue around the back: Many have noted the resemblance on the company’s announcement on Facebook, with one follower asking, “ So it’s the Keystep?” Others are calling it a ‘blatant knockoff’ and noting “ Unless you are blind, it’s impossible not to see it’s the same thing!” The Swing appears to be closely patterned after the Arturia Keystep MIDI controller: The Swing is a 32-note minikey controller & sequencer that can be used to control synths via USB MIDI or via CV/Gate. Behringer today introduced the Swing, a USB MIDI keyboard controller and step sequencer. ![]()
