KeyPad MIDI Controller is a versatile touch MIDI app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a keyboard, drum pad, or XY controller for external synths or software. The app’s adaptive interface works well on both small and large screens, though some users find the layout a bit crowded on iPhone. It supports Bluetooth MIDI and wired connections, making it a reliable tool for live performance or studio use in iPad music production.
For how to make music on iPad, KeyPad integrates with hosts like Drambo, providing expressive aftertouch and velocity sensitivity. The app’s lack of AUv3 support keeps it as a standalone controller, but its low-latency performance and customizable modes make it a favorite for MIDI iPad setups. Beginners appreciate the simple setup, while pros value the velocity modes for nuanced expression.
Key features include:
- Touch-optimized piano keyboard with real-size rendering options for melodic input
- Drum pads for rhythmic and percussive control
- XY performance pads for expressive modulation and effects
- Wireless Bluetooth MIDI connectivity for cable-free operation
- Wired USB support for reliable low-latency connections
- Reorganized MIDI and XY Pad menus for easier navigation
- AUv3 MIDI processor compatibility for DAW integration
