This is just an FYI, I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but thought I'd add it...When moving to using all standard Max objects with the Softstep, a few friends have run across an issue: "SSCOM PORT 1" and "SSCOM PORT 2" does not show up in the available midi devices list. On a Macintosh, this was easily fixed by
1) Unplugging the Softstep
2) Deleting the Softstep Midi Device in the Audio Midi Setup utility
3) Trashing Max Prefs (quit max first)
And then plugging in your Softstep and restarting Max.
