5.10 Changes From SoftStep v1.21
General
Scenes are now “Presets”
Formerly the Advanced Editor could save an individual key’s settings as a “preset”, and a “scene”
referred to the settings for all keys (a “meta-preset” per se) —!similar to Ableton’s clips and scenes
paradigm (a single clip vs. a collection of clips). Key presets have been gone for a long time (as of
version 1.2), and now that there are no longer multiple levels of presets the term “scene” is not
needed.
Basic Editor
Changes specific to the Basic Editor.
Easy Editor is now Basic Editor
Name change!
Basic Editor now allows multiple presets
Formerly, the SoftStep Easy Editor only allowed for a single preset. The Basic Editor now offers ten
presets.
Source options are now different
The Basic Editor now allows each key to send one of the following: MIDI Note, Pressure CC, Toggle
CC, X/Y, Y Increment, Program Change.
Sources have expanded options
•
MIDI Note now offers a toggling option —!the first press turns the note on, the next press turns
the note off.
•
Pressure now offers optional smoothing.
•
Toggle has settable low and high values.
•
X/Y offers optional latching (values stay where they are when the key is released), and the ability
to turn either the X or Y CC off (in case both are a bit overkill).
•
The Program Change option allows sending an additional Bank Select message along with the
Program Change message.
Factory presets from Advanced Editor can be used
The Basic Editor now allows using a factory preset from the Advanced Editor in place of a Basic
Editor preset. Only the factory presets that cannot be created with the Basic Editor are available.
The factory presets Toggles, Notes, and Pressure are not available because they are easily
recreated in the Basic Editor (and are already available as Basic Editor factory presets).
