Enter -1 (negative one) to turn off the bank select message.
Note: if bank select messages above 127 are needed then it is necessary to use the SoftStep
Advanced Editor. The Basic Editor’s bank select messages have the MSB fixed at 0, which only allows
access to banks 0-127.

3.1.8 Factory Presets
The Basic Editor comes preconfigured with ten factory presets —!most recreate the factory presets that
ship pre-loaded on the SoftStep hardware (see Factory Presets Overview), a few others showcase other
Basic Editor options.
The following presets come included with the Basic Editor:
NOTE
Each key outputs a MIDI note (notes 60-69). Step on a key to send a note on message, release the
key to send a note off message.
PRES
Each key outputs a key’s pressure as a CC message (CCs 110-119). More pressure makes the value
go higher, less pressure makes the value go lower.
TOGL
Each key outputs a toggling CC message (CCs 20-29). Step on a key and it toggles on, step on that
key again and it toggles off.
XY
Each key outputs its X (left to right) and Y (bottom to top) location data as two separate CC
messages. The X-axis CCs go from 20 to 29 — the Y-axis CCs go from 30-31.
Latch mode is enabled on each key, so the X and Y CCs will stay wherever they are when the key is
released. If returning to center is desired, this can be modified using the editor.
