Product snapshot
MidiPad 2 — from developer Codelle — is a fully featured MIDI pad app designed for iPhone. The paid/full edition brings a deep level of customization for performers and hobbyists who want a tactile, responsive way to send MIDI to other hardware or apps.
Core capabilities
- Send MIDI notes, program-change messages, and controller events to CoreMIDI-compatible devices and apps.
- Velocity-sensitive pads for expressive dynamics when you play.
- Add unlimited pads and build multiple pages per song or per device for flexible layouts.
- Assign more than one action to a single pad so a single touch can trigger layered or complex commands.
- Choose how each pad behaves: momentary push-style or latching on/off switches.
- Group pads visually using matching colors to speed navigation and reduce mistakes.
Performance and latency
MidiPad 2 emphasizes quick pad response and minimal latency so your playing feels immediate and natural. The app is optimized to keep timing tight when controlling virtual instruments or external sound modules.
Connectivity and compatibility
The app works with CoreMIDI-capable hardware and software and also supports wireless MIDI connections, making it easy to link with other iOS music apps, Bluetooth-enabled controllers, and networked MIDI gear.
Who should consider it
