MidiPads for the iPad released

MidiPads is a drumpad and midi controller for your iPad. It sports 16 drumpads on four pages. The bottom part is configurable by the user with resizable touchpads and sliders. Both sliders and touchpads support snapping to a value and fading to the touch position (duration user-configurable). One feature is the drumpad-integrated X/Y-controller: Change your instruments’ or your effects’ sound by moving your finger while still triggering – useful also for DJ software like Traktor Pro (see video in App description to see how it works).

Other features cover several velocity modes for the drumpads, like full velocity when tapping with two fingers, maximum velocity point either in vertical middle or top and also a random velocity mode, in case you want to use Hihats.

All elements can be edited by the user: Color, label, Midi channel, Midi CC can be changed for each element individually. Both sliders and drumpads can receive incoming Midi values: Sliders act as VU meters, drumpads glow depending on the incoming value.

MidiPads supports USB Midi over the iPad camera connection kit and network Midi.

Included is also a manual which helps you to set up all connections and configure MidiPads.
