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.
