Thanks, that helps.

Hi I'm still on the fence for a QuNeo. What I am missing most in my current setup is the ability to manipulate more than one or two Y/X pads in a synth with... something. The QuNeo might fit the bill, but I also have a SoftStep and X/Y on that is just not 'accurate' enough in the sense that it is ha...

No way to use it without MAX, right?

Did you set the midi out port in the editor to MidiYoke or LoopMidi for every control line? Windows has no native midi routing so the SoftStep Editor (rather annoyingly) defaults to SoftStep Expander as a port (I wish it defaulted to nothing and gave you a clean error message to set the midi out por...

Keep in mind I have it to. I've just turned the backlight off and stopped worrying.

What you desribe sounds more like a USB-power issue. The backlight would influence that as well because it influences how much power the SS draws. We'll see after your testing.

Chumbo, does the humming stop when you turn of the backlight? If it doesn't, it's simply not the hum we are generally talking about in connection with the Softstep. The fact that you get it on your laptop and not on your desktop seems to indicate it's not the 'backlight hum'. Similarly, if there is ...

Chumbo, if the buzz is gone with another setup it's not the Softstep. I.e. if the Softstep buzzes on your laptop but not with your desktop, I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that the culprit is in any way the softstep.Your description is a clear indication that the buzz you are hearing ...

No, but QuNeo is coming out right this moment so I'd assume all available personnel is working on that until it's out the door and up and running. Sometimes I wish these companies would have a pic of all personell so you'd have a clearer picture who you're dealing with. If its eight guys sweating al...

To be fair, they have ackgnowledged several problems. The software has been ackgnowledged as sub-optimal solution from a user standpoint but being dictated by development budget constraints in that the MAX/MSP environment allows cross-platform usability with minimal development and testing effort. T...

Hah, I have the same problem. So navigating around fixes it? Interesting. Between this issue, huge memory use and general flakiness of the software, I have completely abandoned hosted mode and am now in peace. I would rather fiddle around once and then have it run the way I want every time I plug it...
