MidiPads is a drum pad controller for the iPad and sports 64 drum pads, which can be resized in both size and area. The bottom part is fully configurable by the user with resizable touchpads, sliders and buttons. Both sliders and touchpads support snapping to a value, fading to the touch position (duration user-configurable) and bouncing. One very unique feature is the drumpad-integrated X/Y-controller: Change your instruments’ or your effects’ sound just by moving your finger while still triggering – very useful also for DJ software like Traktor Pro.

All elements can be edited by the user: Color, label, details can be changed for each element individually, Midi channel and Midi CC/Key can even be set per sender – and each element supports multiple of them per event. Sliders, drumpads and buttons can receive incoming Midi values:

Sliders act as VU meters, drumpads/buttons glow depending on the incoming value.

Koushion iPad Midi Controller

Koushion iPad Sequencer

Time to ditch my Tenori-On =)

New iPad MIDI Controller called Koushion. Giving the Tenori-On a run for it’s money.

Koushion (literally “grid sound” in Japanese) is a new kind of MIDI controller for your iPad. While it looks deceptively similar to a simple Tone Matrix, this is no toy. This video demonstration was completely improvised.

Compatible MIDI Connections:

– Automatic integration with other apps via Core MIDI virtual ports

– Control of external MIDI devices via Core MIDI-compatible devices such as the iRig MIDI and Alesis I/O dock

– MIDI over Wi-Fi via Core MIDI network sessions (we DO NOT suggest this method due to latency issues)

Core Features:

– 16 steps per scene – up to 128 steps in chain mode

– 8 scenes with independent MIDI channel per scene, independent key, quantization, and playback mode

– MIDI clock send/receive

– 4 playback modes – single, simultaneous, chain, rebound

– Scale – switch between any major, minor, pentatonic, or chromatic scale

– Adjustable step quantization – 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32

– Quantized scene switching

– Tap to set tempo – great for syncing with a live band

– Velocity and gate control

– Monophonic drawing mode – only allows one note per step; great for programming leads

– Optional Dark Theme – reduces eyestrain when working in low-light environments

Kushion is available for $7.99
