iRig Pads is an ultra-portable MIDI groove controller for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac and PC. Smaller than an

iPad and less than 1” thick, iRig Pads makes it easy to play and control virtual drum, percussion and electronic

instruments, anytime and anywhere. Sixteen velocity-sensitive, backlit, multi-colored rubber pads in a standard

4x4 configuration provide the perfect solution for laying down drums, adding percussion, playing electronic

instruments and cueing loops. Each pad lights up in three different colors to react to your playing or in response

to messages from your apps. iRig Pads is also equipped with two assignable knobs, a push-button rotary

encoder, two buttons and a slider - all of which are programmable. iRig Pads is MIDI class-compliant, meaning

it requires no drivers to work with hundreds of music creation apps on iOS, Mac and PC. The USB port can

supply power when connected to iOS devices for no battery drain.
