Softstep Foot Controller Best Deal
I had previously submitted a pretty scathing review of the software, but as it turns out I was having a hardware issue, lol (bum unit). Once I got a replacement, things were much better.
This is the foot controller we've all dreamed about for ages. The power and flexibility of this thing is amazing.
My apologies to the folks at KMI for not giving it a proper chance the first time around. There are still little bugs here and there (hence 4 stars and not 5), but nothing that will prevent you from utilizing this fantastic foot controller.
Time to put the FCB1010 in the gear closet, lol.
