Settings Window; Overview; Global Tab - Keith McMillen Instruments SoftStep Reference Manual

Hosted vs. Standalone mode
It may look like there is only one setlist, but there is a separate setlist for both Hosted mode and
Standalone mode. When in Hosted mode the setlist window will display the Hosted mode setlist —
when in Standalone mode the setlist window will display the Standalone mode setlist.

4.4 Settings Window

The Settings window is where a number of options reside — most of them pertaining to the sensor
response of the SoftStep.

4.4.1 Overview

Upon first opening the Settings window, it will look
something like this:
(1) Tabs
The Settings window is split up into four tabs: Global,
Keys, I/O, and Pedal. Click one to switch to that tab.
(2) Settings (area below tabs)
The area below the tabs is where the relevant settings are
displayed and set.

4.4.2 Global Tab

SoftStep. Turn the backlighting on/off, adjust the sensor
response, change the sensitivity, and more.
