There are two different versions of the SoftStep Editor software, the “Basic Editor” and the “Advanced Editor”�
The SoftStep offers a high degree of exibility and customization, and as they say, “with great power comes
great potential to make a tangled mess of things�” To this end, we created the Basic Editor to simplify the act of
programming the SoftStep� When using the Basic Editor, each key can perform 1 simple function� CV controls
are not supported by the Basic Editor� For more advanced usage and access to all the SoftStep features, use the
Advanced Editor�

The Basic Editor offers ten presets where each key performs a single function� Keys can output a MIDI note, act as
a CC toggle, output key pressure, send X/Y location data, send program change messages, or emulate a vertical
slider — users’ most common needs�
