Build your own

This little app let me create just what I was looking for: a pad controller in a fourths string layout with a bigger than 4x4 grid. The customization is deep, but not bloated, and includes aftertouch and MPE options, so despite the app’s name, it’s great for melodic and harmonic use. In a perfect world, I’d have options for positional velocity, a hold button, and easy switching between layouts, but I’ve already got what I really need for a tiny price. It feel like the kind of tool built to meet one’s own needs and then graciously made available to others who might find it useful. Much thanks to the developer.

Developer Response ,

Hey thx for the kind words! I love your suggestions too. If I ever get a larger chunk of time, I would love to implement those.
