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.

Wired connectivity depends on each device's MIDI capabilities, cables and adapters. Bluetooth MIDI does not transmit Bluetooth audio.
