Device Overview
| Name/Version: | SoftStep4Live 1.0 |  |
| Author: | jengel | |
| Description: | The softstep has a lot of possibilities, especially since it can be scripted in MaxMSP. This device is designed to be an easy interface between the softstep and live, using the modified liveAPI (http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1154/a-better-api), and Tom Swirly's excellent softstep.jso. (http://forum.keithmcmillen.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=535). This format circumvents the need to use KMI's flawed software and should work as a good jumping off point for anyone interested in doing more custom control/display. I hope you find it useful, and do let me know what you're using it for and feel free to alter it as you like. At the moment, TomSwirly's javascript file doesn't quite work with M4L's (midiin/midiout) objects, so I had to swap in Leigh Hunts essential (lh_midiin/lh_midiout) externals (http://web.mac.com/leighhunt/iWeb/Site/downloads.html), which are unfortunately MAC only. That's why this is a work in progress. That makes a lot of included externals and bpatchers, so let me know if the "freeze device" didn't work. |

| Sorry about that, it appears I did. I've uploaded the freezed version, let me know if it works for you. Failing that, you can download the externals from the links I provided in the description. |

| Does your plug only allow one function per SS button? Any plans to add more functionality? It's elegant what you've done. Thanks. |

| Currently, the device only has one functionality per a SS button. I was trying to simplify the SS so I could actually get around to making music with it instead of just playing with programming. It would be easy to change the device to allow for more than one functionallity, and feel free to modify the device to suit your specific needs. I'm currently working on a version that is more specifically centered around communicating with loopers, but still with a single functionality per a button. Cheers! |

| Thanks for this revolutionary device. I was about to ditch my softstep, but this makes it so easy to set up. Just one question, how can I set this up to launch clips? Keep up the good work you are doing with this :) |
