SoftStep MIDI Step Sequencer 1.3
for Windows 95/98

SoftStep is a Windows 95/98/2000 based modular MIDI step sequencer patterned somewhat 
after the modular analog step sequencers. SoftStep drives MIDI synths and sound cards in 
real time, and it also records standard MIDI files.

SoftStep v1.3 is now available in 3 levels of functionality: SoftStep Basic, which is free, 
plus SoftStep LE and SoftStep Pro, which require purchase of upgrade licenses. Each level 
of SoftStep gives a wider range of algorithmic music tools. The free download of SoftStep 
Basic also includes the LE and Pro versions, which can be activated by purchase of a 
license. 

SoftStep Basic ($Free) is a complete software step sequencer package. It is not time 
limited or crippled in any way. The focus of SoftStep Basic is software emulation of the 
old modular analog sequencers, and as such it far exceeds what would be practical or even 
possible to build in hardware.  It offers nine different sequencer modules, plus an 
additional 22 support modules such as switches and clocks; and it allows up to 99 copies of 
each module.  

SoftStep LE ($39) is a good mix of classical step sequencing and general algorithmic music 
functions. It includes all the features of SoftStep Basic plus additional algorithmic 
components including math and logic functions, test-based switching, rhythm generators, and 
more extensive MIDI control options.

SoftStep Pro ($129) is a comprehensive algorithmic composition program that supports 
practically all the different methods of generating algorithmic music including fractal and 
chaos functions, image to music translation, Markov chains and other probability functions, 
and a rich set of tools to translate DNA/Protein data to music. SoftStep Pro is one of the 
most extensive algorithmic music programs available; and it offers its wide range of 
sophisticated algorithms in easy to use, modular plug-in format.
