1.0 Before You Begin
This section contains a few things to know before diving in to the 12 Step world.
1.1 What’s In The 12 Step Package?
The following items are included in each 12 Step box (quantities will be in parentheses):
(1) 12 Step
(1) USB A to USB B cable (15’)
(1) 12 Step protective sleeve
(1) 3.5mm (1/8”) to 1/4” expression pedal adapter
1.2 What’s In The MIDI Expander Package?
The following items are included in each KMI MIDI Expander box:
(1) MIDI Expander
(1) USB Power Supply (5V, 500mA) (includes power converter blades)
(1) USB A to USB B cable (for connecting the Expander to the power supply)
(1) USB A to mini-USB B cable (for connecting the 12 Step to the Expander)
1.3 System Requirements
Hardware
The 12 Step is a class-compliant USB MIDI device —!it will work with any hardware or software that
supports MIDI.
The 12 Step hardware itself will work on any operating system (assuming there is native USB and
MIDI support). It can even work with computers that may not be able to run the editors but still
support USB 2.0 and MIDI (editing presets will have to be done on another computer in this case).
Software
The 12 Step editor has more specific requirements than the 12 Step hardware.
Mac
•Mac OS 10.6 or later
•Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz or greater
•Roughly 100 MB free hard disk space
•A 12 Step foot controller
Before You Begin 8
Windows
•Windows 7, or Windows 8 (we do not support Windows XP or Windows Vista)
•Intel Core 2 processor or greater
•Roughly 100 MB free hard disk space
•A 12 Step foot controller
