Keith McMillen Instruments SoftStep USB MIDI Foot Controller
The Keith McMillen Softstep USB MIDI Foot Controller represents a huge leap forward in footpedal controllers. Together with the included KeyWorx software (Windows and Mac), it allows you to add feet-on control of your MIDI keyboard, effects units, music software or anything that can be controlled via MIDI or OSC. It’s a dream come true for musicians and DJs who could benefit from an extra set of hands, as well as not so obvious applications like video effects, computer gaming, robotics and pyrotechnics.
Popular software titles like Pro Tools, Abelton Live, Amplitube, Logic and MainStage as well as hardware from Avid (Eleven Rack), Line 6 (POD) can all be controlled by the SoftStep.
The Keith McMillen SoftStep is portable and, while its build is rugged and spill-proof, is extremely compact and lightweight. At just 1.3 lbs and 1” tall when lying flat, it gets its power via the USB connection making it easy to pack up and hit the road.
Together with the included KeyWorx software you’ll be able to set up commands for each of the SoftStep’s 11 multi-touch key surfaces. You can select programs, bring a browser window forward, scroll through folders and open documents, control the cursor, send out keystrokes and mouse clicks, zoom in and out, control volume and more! A 4-character LED display, 10 dual-color key LEDs, and EL under-glow give you performance feedback that’s easy to read even on dimly lit stages.
