Pad-based controllers such as the MPC have become a ubiquitous fixture in electronic music setups worldwide. So, why would you want another? Koushion: MIDI Pads adds a new twist to the popular controller by adding a key lock feature and programmable pads.

The key lock feature empowers you to improvise with a larger range of pitches by removing those that are not in the desired key. If locking yourself to one key sounds a bit too limiting, but you want to reach a few notes that are out of the 16-pad range, or even if you just want a custom controller layout, each pad can be edited independently to trigger a different note. Once you’ve found a custom layout you like, you can easily save it for future use.

FEATURES:

• 16 easy-to-tap pads in a familiar MPC-style layout
• Programmable layout: every pad can be re-assigned to any MIDI note/channel!
• Key lock: with the flick of a finger, you can lock the pads to any major, minor, or pentatonic scale.
• MIDI cable connectivity via iRig MIDI or a USB-to-MIDI cable and the iPad Camera Connection Kit
• Wireless connectivity via CoreMIDI Network Sessions or rtpMIDI
• Automatic integration with other apps via CoreMIDI virtual ports. Open up a synth in the
• background and Koushion: Pads will trigger the notes!
