Infinite Pads for Android

Quick summary

Infinite Pads is a free live-performance app from Happy Little Apps that layers sustained pad sounds underneath your playing. It’s useful for solo accompaniment, creating atmosphere, or beefing up a mix with long-form textures. The app ships with several ready-to-use patches and simple controls so you can get a warm pad bed under your music quickly.

Included soundbank

• Five bundled pad patches covering a spectrum from gentle, airy tones to aggressive, textured drones.
• Each pad is built using only the root and the fifth interval, so patches sit comfortably in major or minor keys without extra harmonic tension.
• All source audio was produced as high-quality WAV files and then encoded to 160 kbps OGG to keep file sizes reasonable while preserving the character of the sounds.

Editing and performance controls

• Low-pass and high-pass filters with adjustable cutoff frequencies let you shape the timbre of pads to fit a mix.
• Crossfade timing can be changed to control how smoothly patches transition or swell.
• A straightforward Sound Editor provides access to these parameters for quick tweaks during a set.

Expansion options

• A paid upgrade unlocks the Factory Expansion 1 soundbank, which adds ten additional patches to the default collection.

Compatibility and distribution

• Runs on Android devices version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and later.
• Available on Google Play and delivered without advertisements.
