I've just confirmed a bug with Hosted mode not remembering the EL on/off settings. I'm reporting it on our bug list but I did discover a simple work around so I thought I'd share: 1. Go to standalone mode (even if you're not planning on ever using standalone mode) 2. From there turn the EL off in th...

The factory presets are meant to get people started. I've found that the bulk of SoftStep users out there just want to use the SoftStep for something simple to start out with so we've made our presets with this in mind. The multi-touch aspect of the SoftStep works very well. In standalone mode we cu...

I'll be working on a very basic tutorial video this week which will show how to get the SoftStep up and running with something very simple and basic. I'll post on the forum about it as soon as it's available online. You're wanting the SoftStep to work like off an on switches right? Step on a key onc...

What you are seeing is the raw data coming from SSCOM Port 1. The problem that happens with the SoftStep and Mainstage is that the SoftStep (if usi...

If your host application does not give you the ability to filter out or select a specific MIDI Input device (like Logic or Mainstage) you could either select your MIDI data manually instead of using the learn function, or you can try this: When in Learn mode instead of pressing on the key on the Sof...

Yes the X or Y Increment sources stay where you leave them when you take your foot off the key pad. They can work for many things other than volume control too.

Ah yes, We have indeed amended this for version 1.1. EL settings will now be remembered when using the SoftStep Standalone. Our release candidate has this working beautifully and we should have the official version 1.1 finished early this week. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I actually did see this ...

Try using X or Y Increment as your sources. The speed at which you can scroll through the numbers can also be set by changing the accel X or accel Y settings in the Settings window of the SoftStep application. The lower the accel value, the slower the numbers will scroll up or down. These are my fav...
