Re: does anyone really use Softstep?



hey,

using it as a hand controller is a great idea. Many bare feet with toe exercises would work too. Sounds like this piece needs another layer of design built into it: the soft step II: set on a tilted stand, feedback when triggered (could the lights flash when trigger is hit?)

Im glad you think it will work Bill, cos that means other people will too..
I want it to work, its such a good idea, and I like companies who do
something different and new... they deserved to do well, but I do get
a sneaking suspicion that... oh I dunno... Keith...hes... like... a
neighbour? or a friend? or the brother of the friend of your wifes
sisters Aunt? Cos I dont really see why you wanna defend something you
haven't got...??
Go spend money on it and

Not even close Amigo, i was just trying to draw people out about the why and how,   and I was wondering if anyone was actually trying to find solutions, and /or work arounds or just whining  and blameing their tools , you know,  like bad carpenters do ;-) Its an intriguing  pedal to me for the silent switching aspect that I could see using when  recording  with open mics . i also thought it might be a cool hand controller as well for DAW applications.  You may not have noticed but, although I'm often times one of the first people to try the latest and geatest gear out, because I work part time at a pretty big  music shop, I'm often the last guy to actually buy the gear,  due to budget constraints, with a few exceptions being where I'm given gear or earned it through work exchange.
