micPad

Concept: The app is a MIDI Pad that is sensitive to finger velocity, which the app measures by referencing to finger touch noise on iPad. The user can play 3rd party instrument with velocity using “micPad”. System requirements: 1. AUv3 host that has flexible capabilities of MIDI routing & Panel resizing (AUM, Loopy Pro, etc.). 2. It requires the use of iPad’s built-in microphone. 3. Headphone connected to the iPad's built-in audio out Note: 1. Not compatible with headset such as Apple’s EarPods (because the app requires iPad’s built-in microphone). 2. The compatibility with audio interface depends on the host. (e.g. impossible in AUM or Standalone but possible in Loopy Pro). Usage: Insert micPad into “audio effect” slot of Mic-in track and connect the micPad’s MIDI OUT to 3rd party instrument. Scheme: Mic in -> micPad (MIDI out) -> MIDI instrument User interface: There are 9 pads, 2 buttons & 1 slider. Pads: each pad is freely assignable to any MIDI note number Device button (standalone only): shows device manager where the user can select Audio in & MIDI out devices. Edit/Play button: edits pad’s MIDI note number. Press "Play" after editing. MIC button: turns on or off mic-in capability (default: ON). If it is off, all pads always send the same velocity (64). Trans slider: transposes MIDI note. Preset File System: At first make a new bank folder, in which you can save a preset file. And press "Save As" button. Also the user can export or import preset file in the standalone version.
