What is XPad? XPad is a professional sound module app and Audio Unit v3 plugin that focuses on modern pad sounds for iPad. It aims to bring the warm and vibrant sound of analogue synths onto the convenient platform of an iPad while preserving that analogue tone and feeling. The app offers a new way to achieve realistic large interval Glissando and allows you to mix Glissando with regular polyphonic notes simultaneously. It also features a Tone Width control that allows you to morph the sound in real-time steplessly between a very thin and clean sound up to a huge and fat tonal sound. The app offers sensible control, easy connectivity, a built-in MIDI recorder, and 14 optional sound sets of different sound categories that provide up to 462 sounds in total.
1. Goal was to get the warm and vibrant sound of analogue synths onto the convenient platform of an iPad and combining those sounds with the benefits of state of the art digital features while still preserving that analogue tone and feeling.
2. And of course if needed, you can simply tweak the setup, e.g. use a Bluetooth MIDI wireless connection to your keyboard instead of a cabled one, restrict MIDI input to certain devices or apps, connect to other apps with Inter-App Audio or use the sounds of this app as Audio Unit v3 plugin directly in the DAW app of your choice.
3. Especially the important pad sounds of this app allow you to morph the sound with the "Tone Width" knob in real-time steplessly between a very thin and clean sound up to a huge and fat tonal sound as if an army of pad synths was working under your finger tips.
4. For instance all sounds use the Aftertouch information of your keyboard to bring more dynamic behaviour into the sound even while just holding some notes.
5. XPad is a professional sound module app and Audio Unit v3 plugin with focus on modern pad sounds for iPad.
6. The "Atmo" pack for instance contains atmospheric sounds for generating very emotional sound bases and backgrounds e.g. for film and entertainment.
7. XPad is divided into 14 optional sound sets of different sound categories and provide up to 462 sounds in total.
8. XPad offers up to 462 sounds, but don't worry, it never lets you down and always assists you finding just the sound you need in a glimpse.
9. You can quickly search for sounds with any combination of several criteria like sound characteristics, articulations, controls and more.
10. The most important controls for each sound are mapped to things that you are most likely using anyway at your keyboard.
11. The "Perc" sound set contains drums and percussive sounds.
