Keith McMillen Instruments SoftStep Released: New Universal USB / MIDI Multi-Touch Foot Controller

October 27, 2010
Keith McMillen Instruments has begun shipping SoftStep, a lightweight universal multi-touch USB / MIDI foot controller.

Now shipping, the Keith McMillen Instruments SoftStep is a universal multi-touch USB / MIDI foot controller that can be used with effects racks, major software programs, and more.

The compact SoftStep weighs in at just over a pound and is slim enough to fit into most laptop and guitar cases. In addition to a small footprint, the SoftStep features ten sensor keys that support five degrees of motion such as up / down, left / right, inc / dec, pressure, and rotary motions that can be preprogrammed to control effects, software, or multimedia. The SoftStep also has a four-direction navigation pedal, an alphanumeric LED display, and backlit keys.

It connects to a computer through USB and contains Expansion and Expression ports. With the MIDI expansion module, the SoftStep can be used with or without a computer (Mac or PC) to connect to external MIDI hardware. According to the manufacturer, SoftStep easily accomplishes what usually requires a sophisticated hand-operated control surface.

When used onstage, SoftStep becomes a virtual pedalboard, connecting to MIDI hardware and software to switch programs, control parameters, trigger samples and loops, and more. With SoftStep, guitar and bass players can control their MIDI FX hardware or software apps such as Native Instruments Guitar Rig and IK Multimedia AmpliTube. Likewise, laptop musicians and DJs can trigger and process loops and FX in Ableton Live, Propellerhead Reason, and Native Instruments Traktor; keyboardists can switch patches, sweeping filters, and tapping tempos hands-free.

In the studio, SoftStep allows you to control transport functions, DSP plugins, punch-in / out, levels, jog wheel, and panning in DAWs and MIDI sequencers. What's more, SoftStep provides silent switching and click-free control of program change, patches, and FX while recording.

SoftStep features:

  • 10 Multi-touch keys control up to 6 unique notes, Continuous Controllers, Program Changes, Bend, MMC, Aftertouch, or OSC
  • Each key is responsive to 5 degrees of control: X- and Y- axis, clockwise rotation, counter-clockwise rotation, and pressure
  • Rugged design using elastomeric and graphite composites
  • Four character alphanumeric LED displays and 10 dual-color key LEDs give feedback even in bright stage lights; blue backlight makes each key easy to identify
  • Dimensions:17.5" x 4.25" x .5"
  • USB powered
  • Works with computer or standalone with MIDI Expander
  • Connects to software such as Ableton Live, Avid Pro Tools, Apple Logic, Apple GarageBand, AmpliTube, Guitar Rig, Steinberg Cubase, Reason, MOTU Digital Performer, and more
