Ambient Pad turns your phone into the pad your worship team needs. Play a note and six ambient layers come in together in a perfect loop: Angel, Cathedral, Feedback, Motion, Organ/Choir and Shimmer/Rhodes. Set each one on its own fader until the bed sits right under the band. BUILT FOR LIVE USE • Every change fades in and out — no hard cuts through the PA • All 12 keys one tap away, with the relative minor on each pad • Works fully offline: it never depends on signal at church • Plays alongside your other audio apps • Portrait or landscape, however it fits your stand SETLISTS Save a key with its exact mix as a song, group songs into setlists and move through the service with Previous/Next right above the pads. TIMER Set it and the audio fades out on its own — for the prayer room, rehearsal or falling asleep to. YOUR OWN LOOPS Import your own audio files and play them as extra layers along with the pads. BACKUP Export your setlists and audio in a single file and restore it on another device. Free, with an optional subscription that unlocks every layer and removes ads.
