"Supreme awesomeness!! Just fired it up with my rig. Really cool!"

Billy and Keith McMillen at NAMM 2012
"I integrated the 12-step into my live rig in about 2 minutes. I had it onstage with me the very first night. Kudos for this thing!"
"The 12 Step is a great way to send MIDI note data to my DAW without taking my hands off of my main controller. The biggest and most pleasant surprise for me was how accurate the velocity sensitivity feels, you can get some really nuanced performances out of this thing, which is not what I ever expected from a foot controller."
"When it's time to perform, the 12 Step is great. It's incredibly simple when I want it to be, and incredibly flexible when I need it to be. Thanks, KMI, this is an awesome device.
"MIDI mapping to LIVE with no problems using the 12-step. I am stoked. And when I combine it with the QuNeo, I will probably levitate."
"I've been waiting desperately for something like this: A great foot pedal keyboard that's light, smart, infinitely programmable, and not permanently attached to a crappy little synth or state-of-the-’80s MIDI connector. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!"
"12 Step instantly opened up a whole new world of possibilities for my composition process and for live performances. It is an incredibly versatile controller that I can use with or without the computer. It has found a new home on my floor."
"The 12 Step truly is plug and play. I could not believe how quickly I had it incorporated into my rig. It's a great, portable tool to provide even more layers to my sound!"
"The traditional organ concept of playing bass lines with your foot is now totally obsolete! With your foot on the 12 Step the sky's truly the limit!"
"Everything is working right out of the box! Just the way things should be. I used the 12 Step the same day it arrived, really impressed with it. It'll be permanently in my arsenal now."
"12 step is a unique little controller. Having a pressure sensitive keyboard at my feet is a whole new universe of possibilities. Triggering synth bass or loops or toggling FX. It's versatile, light weight and futuristic looking. Kudos to the kings of Controllerism."
"I plugged it in and used it. Instant gratification. Great tool."
“I can just play my sitar without worrying about trying to touch buttons on my computer, which is always a disaster. Now I can control it with my feet and just play the sitar- and that’s what I like to do.”
"The 12-Step is fantastic for controlling Ableton Live. The button response is super fast, and setup is easy and flexible. It's also amazingly lightweight, and the fact that it's bus powered is awesome."
