BUILT-IN SOUND ENGINE

Play sounds directly without any external app. Load SF2 SoundFonts with multi-preset program selection, or import SFZ, WAV, and M4A samples for custom sounds. The low-CPU engine maps samples across the full keyboard automatically. Sound files persist across sessions.

AFTERTOUCH & MPE EXPRESSION

Add expressive depth with four aftertouch modes. Mono AT applies uniform pressure across chords. Poly AT sends independent pressure per note. XY MPE allocates per-note MIDI channels (2-16) with Y-axis mapped to CC74 and X-axis to Pitch Bend for full MPE expression. Remap aftertouch output to any MIDI CC, Mod Wheel, or Pitch Wheel. Visual green gradient feedback on pressed keys shows pressure intensity in real time.

CONNECT TO YOUR MAC

Control Logic Pro, Ableton Live, or any Mac music software from your iPad or iPhone.

Wireless (Network MIDI): Connect over your local network using Bonjour - no cables required. Perfect for studio setups where you want freedom of movement.

Wired (Inter-Device MIDI): Plug in via USB for a rock-solid, zero-latency connection. Ideal for live performance and recording sessions.

AUV3 PLUGIN

Load KeyPad directly inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, BeatMaker, Drambo, or any AUv3-compatible host. Control your instruments without switching apps. All settings save with your project.

STANDALONE APP

Use KeyPad independently to control hardware synths via MIDI interfaces, route MIDI to other iOS apps through virtual MIDI, or connect wirelessly or wired to your Mac.

TOUCH-OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE

Height-Based Velocity: Touch keys at different vertical positions for dynamic velocity control. Three curve options customize response for expressive playing.

XY Performance Pad: Control two parameters simultaneously with multi-touch gestures. Assign any MIDI CC to X and Y axes for filter sweeps, effect morphing, or live sound manipulation.

Smart Layout: Automatically adapts to your device orientation and size. Full layout on iPad, compact keyboard-only mode on iPhone or Split View.

OSC OUTPUT

Send MIDI data as Open Sound Control messages to networked applications like Ableton Live, Max/MSP, or TouchDesigner. Configure custom host and port for advanced setups.
