PadMaker-Midi is a tool for creating a Multipad based upon the patterns from one or more midi or pad files.

Transform your MIDI and Multipad files into custom Multipads with ease using this versatile tool. Seamlessly create a pad by selecting specific regions from your MIDI or Multipad files, and then preview the pattern either on your PC or directly on your instrument. Tailor your creation to perfection by editing various parameters such as notes, octave, voice, volume, pan, reverb, chorus, tempo, brightness, chord follow, and repeat settings.

Changes in Version 24r1 include:

• Install will automatically remove previous version
• Genos 1 and Genos 2 added
• A few small bugs where solved
• Code updates (transparent for the user, but necessary for programming)

How It Works

A multipad is a four track midi file. On the instrument, a pad is played by depressing one or more of four pad buttons, which starts the pattern(s). Depending upon settings, each pad can play once or repeat endlessly, and have a fixed pitch or follow chords keyed into the accompaniment section.

Since pad patterns are midi patterns, a multipad can be made by copying parts of a midi or pad to a pad track.

PadMaker-Midi provides tools for selecting a pattern, copying it to a new multipad, and editing the voice and other characteristics.
