Keith McMillen Upgrades Softstep To Version 2.0
Keith McMillen Instruments has released SoftStep 2, the next incarnation of its programmable foot controller. KMI’s portable and functional Softstep 2 footpedal controller frees musicians from heavy footswitch pedals while expanding their control over an effects rack, a MIDI keyboard or most of today’s popular music software offerings.
The SoftStep application works with the SoftStep hardware controller to manipulate sensor data for finely tailored control. These modified control sources are mappable to any MIDI or OSC destination, giving the player unlimited potential for creative expression. Now after carefully listening to their users, KMI has refined the SoftStep experience from the ground up.
