Features

Details

MIDI Touchpad creates a virtual MIDI port and takes control over your Trackpad when you click on the main window. This app outputs custom MIDI messages according to precise normalised touch positions of your fingers. MIDI Mapping preferences allows you to change all the MIDI output parameters, including Pitch Bend, Control Change, Aftertouch, and Notes.

The application has 3 modes: Solo, Drum Pads, Mixer.
Solo mode is an XY-Pad. In this mode, MIDI Touchpad outputs 3 MIDI messages simultaneously for X, Y, and Force. If a user touches the Trackpad with 2 fingers, application outputs other parameters (by default, Volume and Pan).
Drum Pads mode splits the Trackpad into 8 zones and outputs NoteOn and NoteOff MIDI messages. You can customise Note Number and MIDI Channel for every zone.
MIDI Mixer mode divides your Trackpad into 4 vertical sliders. You can map any MIDI Control Change Number and Channel to every slider.
