Daniel,

Do exactly as Per says... on the softstep, you might wanna investigate using the "KEY NOTES" preset (or name to that effect) This is set up to play midi notes.. you should HEAR them, as Softstep is set up to play the DLS softsynth.. On each pad, change the output pad to softstep share.. (I think thats right) and save. Your NEXT scene, could be based on the same set, but now change the midio notes to ONE higher, so your banks run from 1-10, then bank 2 11-20 etc etc...

then you can use SLs midi learn as Per described..

Daniel,

Check the SooperLooper manual. It is very simple:

1) the SoftSTep sends certain midi events when kicked at the pads.
2) SooperLooper reacts to the incoming events.

But you have to tell SooperLooper how to react on different events.
That is also simple if you use the MIDI learn page in SL. I recommend
using the Softstep to send MIDI notes for controlling "on/off" type of
actions in Sooperlooper (like "Record", "Mute", "Overdub" etc). And
for controlling continuous parameters (like "Volume", "Feedback" etc)
you should bind a MIDI CC from Softstep.

When you connect Softstep by a USB cable to a computer the Softstep
should appear just like any MIDI In port to the computer and any
software you may run on it. So classic MIDI routing how-to applies
here.
