The first multi-touch USB foot controller.
Everything you ever knew about foot controllers is about to change. SoftStep is a leap forward in the portability and functionality of footpedal controllers. Whether used with an effects rack, MIDI keyboard or popular music software, this innovative device frees musicians from heavy footswitch pedals while expanding their control. 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.
SoftStep Pads
Each of the SoftStep's pads offer 5 degrees of continuous control: X and Y- axis, clockwise rotation, counter-clockwise rotation, and pressure. These control sources can be mapped to any MIDI or OSC destination.

Beyond DAW Control
You can also use your SoftStep to control your MIDI synth and/or rack with the SoftStep MIDI Expander (sold separately - see #H70413). In addition to controlling sound, the SoftStep can be used with anything that will accept MIDI or OSC data: lighting effects, video, robotics, pyrotechnics, and more.
