ab PitchPad X vs NoteBridge

'ab PitchPad X' for iOS is a 'Light', stereo-only version of 'ab PitchPad' (part of 'ab PitchShifter'), an immersive Pitch Shifter designed for bending the pitch of an audio signal at dimensional levels. With 'ab PitchPad X', the pitch of a signal can be controlled whole, or per dimensional level: Control the Left, Right, or Mid dimensional pole independently for unique results! The pitch can be controlled musically (per semitones) or freely: From -2 Octaves all the way to +2 Octaves. A Viscosity control is also included to control the smoothness at which the pitch is manipulated. 'ab PitchPad X' comes as an AUv3 Plugin and is compatible with any iOS host that supports AUv3 (e.g. Garageband).

Your sequencer sends one set of notes, your instrument expects another. NoteBridge sits between them in AUM and remaps notes, channels and controllers (CCs), which also makes it handy for pointing drum pads at a drum app's voices. Each row maps an incoming channel and note to an outgoing channel and note. Tap the ear and play a pad on your hardware to fill in the input, or add a row and set the numbers yourself. Drag a number up or down to change it, or tap it to type. Show notes as numbers or as names with octaves. Knob rows do the same for controllers. Take the CC a hardware knob sends and pass it on as another CC, on another channel if you like, through a curve you draw. Put several rows on one knob and it moves several parameters at once, each with its own curve. • Learn: tap, play a note or turn a knob, done • New rows keep the spacing of the last one, so a kit maps in a few taps • CC mapping with a curve editor: straight or smooth lines, points that snap to 25, 50, 75 and 100, invert, and copy and paste between rows • Notes no row maps pass through or are blocked, your choice • Set the input or output channel of every row at once • Panic ends every sounding note; notes held while you edit still end where they started • Undo, swipe to delete, drag to reorder • 32 built-in presets, plus your own: save them, share them by Mail or AirDrop, and import ones others send you • Map Pass/Block, Panic and mapping on/off to hardware controls in the host • Everything no row takes passes through untouched Name presets "Source → Target" so others know what they map. Send a good one to the developer from the preset menu and it may ship as a built-in preset.
