SynthModule — Teclado, Sintetizador e Controlador MIDI no seu iPhone e iPad Para tecladistas que tocam ao vivo, músicos de worship, produtores, estudantes de música e quem usa controlador MIDI — som de teclado profissional direto no celular ou tablet, sem depender de hardware caro. O QUE TEM NO APP • SoundFonts em categorias (Piano, Strings, Brass, Guitar, Organ, Pad, Drum, Synth e mais), com importação livre de SF2 próprio — use sua coleção sem limites. • Mixer de 8 canais com pan, mute/solo, ARM, FX por canal e fader master. • Live Set 4×4 para salvar cenas completas (instrumentos, FX, plugins AUv3, backing track e arpejador) e fazer recall instantâneo no meio do show.

About

BendLab

Read full description

BendLab is a simple, focused MIDI controller for Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheel on iPhone and iPad. TWO CONTROLS. MORE EXPRESSION. • Pitch Bend returns to center when released. • Mod Wheel (CC 1) holds its value or automatically returns to zero. • MIDI channel selection from 1 to 16. • Bluetooth MIDI connectivity with compatible devices and apps. • Sends to compatible MIDI outputs provided by the system, including wired connections when supported by your device, cables and adapters. • Portrait and landscape layouts. • Customizable control color, with blue as the default. • Automatically follows your device's language settings. MADE FOR PLAYING A minimal interface without ads, an account or a subscription. Open, connect and use the controls to add expression to your compatible virtual instrument, keyboard or music software. IMPORTANT BendLab sends MIDI messages; it does not generate sound. Your destination instrument or software must receive and respond to Pitch Bend and/or CC 1. Wired connectivity depends on each device's MIDI capabilities, cables and adapters. Bluetooth MIDI does not transmit Bluetooth audio.
