That's too bad that the distinct MIDI channel per key capability wasn't included in the v2.0 update. I was hoping to see a field at the bottom of each key which would allow you to deviate from the default MIDI channel, if desired. Hopefully, v3.0 will include this. I'm pretty sure this is the #1 fea...

Just checking to see if there is any word on the 12 Step update. It's been 9 months since the last one...DYING for indivitual MIDI channel programmability per key.

Add that and it's the PERFECT controller.

Just wondering if there is a timeframe on the 12 Step update.

It's been over 3 months since a new update was alluded to. I'm *DYING* for individual key MIDI channel programmability.

Still ***DYING*** for the "distinct MIDI channel per note" capability.

Any word on if/when an update will occur?

Hey ramuji...thanks for following up on this. :-) I received an email from KMI, yesterday, along with the A2 firmware update. I installed it and it does indeed work, even though it will only receive program changes on channel 16 (which is fine by me). This is a MAJOR DEAL. KMI came through and I giv...

UPDATE:

KMI has an updated firmware version for the 12 Step (version A2) and the 12 Step (with MIDI Expander) now ***RESPONDS*** to program change messages over MIDI.

Major props to KMI!!!!! Thanks for correcting the issue. You guys ROCK!!!!!

Hey KeithMcMillen support... I was just wondering if there is any update on the "lack of receiving program change over MIDI" issue. It's been 5 months since I posted the problem on the board and the 12 Step is still on version 0.9b (beta). I know you guys are devoting a lot of time/resourc...

The 12 Step does NOT have the functionality to respond to program change messages over MIDI (i.e. using the MIDI "In" port on the MIDI Expander). Keith McMillen Instruments is aware of this issue and it is possible that the problem might be addressed by a firmware update in the future. But...

Thanks for the suggestion. If I was doing sequencing and the Fantom didn't already have sequencing capability built in, I would consider using my netbook. But, I'm trying to streamline my gear (before I got the 12 Step, I had a set of bulky MIDI bass pedals). According to the KMI support person who ...

No worries. Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately, it doesn't respond on channel 16, either. Sounds like the only way to correct this will be with a firmware upgrade. Hopefully, if it's the MIDI Expander, that can be upgraded/re-flashed. Otherwise, I'll be doing the 3-step on the 12 Step betw...
