SoundPad Pro Max is a sound player application that allows you to assign up to 150 sound sources to 10 pads and easily play sound source data in iCloudDrive or Dropbox with simple operations. It is a higher version of SoundPad Pro with various playback functions such as fade-in, fade-out, cross-fade, one-shot playback, multi-trigger, loop playback, sequential playback and simultaneous playback for each pad. Also equipped with the "WirelessSpeaker Connection KeepAlive" function that prevents "sound cutout" when playing wireless speakers! Each of the 10 pads can be played individually, so it is possible to play sound effects while playing background music or loop sound sources*1. About loop playback For gapless loop playback, please use wav format sound sources, not compressed sound sources (e.g. mp). Since the music in the device is used, you can use free sound sources available on the Internet by importing them into the library. You can also download sound sources from iCloud Drive or Dropbox and assign them. A Wi-Fi environment is recommended because a high-speed network connection is required for downloading. If you are using a mobile connection, please be sure to subscribe to a subscription before using the service. Also, when downloading a large number of uncompressed audio files, please be careful of the available space on your device. When using the service at events, we recommend that you turn off Wi-Fi or set the device to Airplane mode to prevent unexpected ring tones. Please note that music downloaded from AppleMusic, etc. may not be available due to copyright protection DRM. Various functions operate in various ways depending on the combination of each setting. Even when multiple functions are enabled at the same time, all functions may not operate at the same time due to exclusion control or function conflicts. Recommended devices iPad Pro (4th generation) or later iPad Air (4th generation) or later iPad (8th generation) or later
