AirPads is the ultimate, simple MIDI drum and sample controller for iOS. Trigger samples in your favorite music program on your computer or device at the speed of hardware.

AirPads provides a set of pads for triggering samples and knobs to control parameters in real-time. Simply load the app, connect it with another app on your device or your computer via Bluetooth, and start playing!

AirPads utilizes iOS 8 Bluetooth MIDI LE technology, which allows for latency comparable to wired hardware.

AirPads is optimized for use with DAWs such as Ableton, Maschine, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Reason, Reaper, or any other MIDI-accepting program with sample-triggering features. AirPads can also be used for playing melodic instruments such as VST synthesizers and other iOS apps such as Animoog.

AirPads features:
- 8 groups of 16 pads, displayed 16 at a time on screen
- 4 knobs (8 on iPad) for real time MIDI CC control
- Split screen mode on iPad in landscape view allows for 2 sets of 16 pads and 8 knobs to be played at once
- Bluetooth LE MIDI support for virtually zero latency
- Global velocity setting

**Note: Please make sure you are running iOS 8, have an iPad 3+/iPhone 4S+/iPod Touch 5th gen and that your Mac is Bluetooth LE MIDI compatible and running OSX 10.10.**
