・Condensed specifications required by professionals in a compact housing
At the heart of the iRig Pads is a 4 x 4 grid, 16 velocity-enabled pads familiar to beatmakers. Each pad has a backlight that changes to red, orange, and green according to the velocity, enabling expressive performance with the feel of a rubber pad that is easy to hit. In addition, the iRig Pads are equipped with a slider to which MIDI control information can be assigned, a rotary encoder with two knobs and push buttons, and a terminal for an expression pedal/foot switch. With them, you can control continuously changing MIDI information such as pitch and filter. The assignment information of each pad can be saved and recalled as 16 "scenes".
