Green LEDs
CCs 110-119 control the green LEDs on keys 0-9 (one CC per key).
CCs accompanied with a value of:
•
0 = LED Off
•
1 = LED On
•
2 = LED Fast Flash
•
3 = LED Slow Flash
Note: When sending MIDI via USB, CCs should be sent to SSCOM Port 1.
5.7.2 Controlling SoftStep Display
In addition to the key LEDs, the four-character display on the SoftStep can also be controlled via
external software or hardware using CC messages.
The four characters on the display are addressed using four CC messages:
•
CC 50 = first character
•
CC 51 = second character
•
CC 52 = third character
•
CC 53 = fourth character
Each CC should be sent with a value between 48 and 122. These values correspond to the
following:
•
48-57 = Numbers 0-9
•
65-90 = Capital letters A-Z
•
97-122 = Lowercase letters a-z
•
58-64 & 91-96 = various symbols/characters
So, for example, to make the third character on the display show the number “3”, send CC 52 with a
value of 51.
Note: When sending MIDI to the SoftStep via USB, CCs should be sent to SSCOM Port 1.
5.7.3 Changing Presets With Program Changes
When in Standalone mode, changing SoftStep presets via external software/hardware is possible
using program change messages. Program changes 1 through 16 sent to SSCOM Port 1 will select
the corresponding preset in the setlist —!e.g. sending program change 7 will load the seventh
preset in the setlist.
