Dynamic Pedal Noise
Read full descriptionHide full description
Take your performance or worship to the next level by triggering dynamic pedal noises. This app enables the triggering of dynamic pedal noises using a simple switch-type sustain pedal. Hence, no expensive proprietary (triple) damper pedal is necessary. Connect your smartphone or tablet via a USB cable to your pedal noise-capable instrument and adjust the settings to match your setup. Enjoy dynamic pedal noises based on your playing velocity. Tested with a Clavia Nord Piano 88 as the sole connected instrument, as well as using a Yamaha MODX synthesizer set up as a controller for the Nord Piano 88 (both connected to a USB hub plugged into the USB-C port of a smartphone).
