iRig Pads from IK Multimedia now in South Africa

iRig Pads

iRig Pads from IK Multimedia now in South Africa 

The iRig Pads Controller from IK Multimedia has arrived in South Africa and is available through Tuerk Music Technologies in Joburg. 

Get your Groove on – Anywhere 

Portability is the name of the digital production game these days and the iRig Pads is an ultra-portable, universal MIDI groove controller for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and can also be used on a Mac or PC. 

iRig Pads has 16 velocity-sensitive backlit pads, 2 editable push buttons, 2 assignable push buttons, a push button rotary encoder which is MIDI programmable, 2 MIDI programmable knobs and a MIDI programmable slider. It seems like the ideal companion for on-the-go electronic producers as you can launch loops, make beats or even mix like a DJ. 

Ultra Portability – Ultra Low Power Consumption

iRig Pads

iRig Pads is smaller than an iPad and is only 23 mm thick so it’ll fit comfortably into a small bag alongside your iPad without taking up too much real estate. But as often is the case with so-called portable devices it’s their power supplies are not factored in when companies boast about their portability. This is what’s great about iRig Pads. It has been designed for ultra lower power consumption which means it does not need a power adapter. Simply plug into your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using the included Lightning cable or via USB for your Mac or PC and you’re ready to slam those beats. No PSU needed! 

What’s in the box? 

iRig Pads comes with the iOS version of Sample Tank, IK Multimedia’s powerful sound workstation which is packed with high quality sampled instruments, drums, loops and MIDI patterns. If you plan on using it on Mac or PC you can use Sample Tank SE, which can be downloaded from the IK Multimedia user area which gives you access to 6.5 GB of content, for over 400 instruments and 150 MIDI patterns.

And there’s more… iRig Pads users will apparently be able to register to receive ‘The Grid’ – this is an exclusive collection of 50 additional instruments (comprised of 800 samples for a total of over 300MB of sample content) and 50 MIDI patterns that can be downloaded from the user area for SampleTank 3 SE. They can also be used on SampleTank iOS, which will be unlockable from within the app. 

Beatmaking, mashups or DJing 

iRig Pads

It seems like IK Multimedia have really thought this through in terms of who their potential market will be – basically anybody wanting to have some fun with their music will find a use for one of these! 

iRig Pads caters for more than just beatmakers. Whilst Sample Tank is ideal for laying down new ideas and beats, there is also GrooveMaker 2, a free app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad which is cool for mashing up hip hop and dance music loops and grooves. For digital DJing there’s also the free DJ Rig app which is a full-featured DJ mixing app that taps into your iTunes library and is mapped to iRig Pads to manage the pitch control, EQs, effects and volume sliders direct from the controller. 

Compatibility 

The iRig Pads sounds cool but not everybody wants to use it with IK Multimedia’s proprietary software. The good news is that it is fully compliant with any MIDI-compatible app such as FL Studio Mobile, iMPC Pro or GarageBand. Naturally on PC or MAC all music software supports MIDI so that’s a given.

“Divine Mode was actually the first track on the “Divine Mode was actually the first track on the same EP as Trust in Trance but is quite different. Pixel retains the square bass on his version, unsurprisingly so, since Pixel has released a few tracks in this vein. This is typical Pixel with his interesting and unique use of synth sounds, effortless groove and sparkling production.” 🔥🎶

We dissect each track on @vinivicimusic’s ‘Life Is a Remix’ compilation which features remixes of their biggest hits from massive artists such as @pixpixmix, @infectedmushroom, @hilighttribe, @phaxe432, @outsiders_music, @djcaptainhook & more. 🎶
