Record any sound — your voice, a guitar, the room itself — and WorshipPads turns it into a smooth ambient pad you can play in any key. Your first custom pad is free. SOUND LAB Hum a note. Record a guitar. Capture the sound of your own room. Sound Lab turns it into a seamless, playable pad mapped across all 12 keys. No laptop, no plugins, no production skill. The pad under your set can finally be yours instead of the same pack every other church is running. Your first custom pad is free. Keep making them with Pro. ALL 12 KEYS, READY TO GO Tap a pad and a seamless ambient chord fills the room. Crossfade between keys with adjustable fade-in and fade-out, so a key change never leaves a hole in the service. AUTO KEY Not sure what key the band just landed in? Let the app listen and find it. Point your phone at the room and WorshipPads picks up the key, so the pad comes in right instead of a semitone off in front of everyone. SETLISTS Build the set before Sunday. Line up the keys in order, then move through them during the service without hunting for the next one mid-song. Send the set to the rest of the band. They open the file straight into WorshipPads and get your keys, tempos and MultiPad scenes exactly as you built them — or paste the plan into the group chat as plain text for the people who just need to know what key it's in. MULTIPADS (PRO) Layer three complementary chords into one texture. Each MultiPad blends voices at different volumes for a fuller sound than a single pad can reach. SOUND DESIGN (PRO) Shape any pad with studio controls: • Dry/wet mix • Reverb depth • Delay • +1 and +2 octave shimmer • Warmth Bright and airy, dark and warm, or anywhere in between. BUILT FOR THE STAGE • Works offline after the first download — church wifi can't break it • Background audio, so switching apps never stops the sound • Dark interface that stays readable on a dim stage • Light and fast, on an iPhone or an iPad FOR THE PERSON RUNNING SOUND Most of the people holding a service together are volunteers who didn't ask to be sound engineers. WorshipPads is built to be handed to someone five minutes before a set and still work. PRICING • Free: all 12 pads in every key, plus your first custom pad • Pro: unlimited custom pads, MultiPads, sound design and future sound packs • Pro is available monthly or annually. The annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial. • Prices are shown in your local currency in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
