LOL,  I was wondering if anyone was going to see that irony.   Nice,  Bill.

My question is whether the Softstep considerable firepower can be turned 
off.

In other words, can one make the pedal just do a couple of things 
instead of 5 things?

By lowering the sensitivity and turning funcionality off, I'll bet you 
could have a pretty cool
little unit here.

I'm also guessing also that wearing socks or barefeet might be very 
efficacious in using it, instead
of shoes which can definitely false trigger small buttons closely 
placed.  I don't know because
I've only seen it demoed at NAMM (which was a very impressive demo, by 
the way).
Keith is a fascinating guy as well.  I had a brief talk with him at the 
show and was impressed by
him as a person.
