The concept behind the XY MIDIpad controller is brilliantly simple – control any MIDI parameters with the touch of your finger. You can control distortion level, echo, VST plugins, Korg Kaoss Pad devices, DigiTech Whammy pedals, Cubase, Logic or any DAW and even the stage lighting.
XY MIDIpad is also equipped with a hold button (with blue LED ring) and a rotary encoder (with push-button), which greatly increase the controller’s functionality. Hold button allows the user to freeze a specified MIDI message, whereas the rotary encoder makes it possible to change MIDI programs on the fly. By pressing the rotary encoder push-button, the user can switch between various XY MIDIpad modes.
How does it work?
XY MIDIpad sends MIDI messages to any device you connect it to. Technically it can be any MIDI device or app which responds to messages transmitted by XY MIDIpad (see MIDI Messages tab above for more details).
Depending on the currently selected mode, XY MIDIpad will send various MIDI message related to the current X and Y values. It can even send drum notes messages directly to your MIDI/VST/AU drum machine.
XY MIDIpad can be operated with a finger or a guitar pick.
What to use it with?
XY MIDIpad works with any MIDI hardware and software responding to its messages, but the main focus has been put on achieving full compatibility with Korg’s Kaoss devices, DigiTech Whammy series and MIDI instruments (including drums). Please see the full compatibility list in Tech Spec tab above.
If you want to have XY MIDIpad connected to more than one device at the same time, you will need a reliable MIDI thru box, such as our fantastic midi splitter.
