XPad by Christian Schoenebeck d/b/a Crudebyte - Released
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1338505908
Description:
XPad is a professional sound module app with focus on modern pad sounds for iPad. Goal was to get the warm and vibrant sound of analogue synths onto the convenient platform of an iPad and combining those sounds with the benefits of state of the art digital features while still preserving that analogue tone and feeling.
Glissando
XPad introduces a new way that we were developing for our apps to achieve realistic large interval Glissando, which means you can glide a tone continuously e.g. from the lowest octave up to the highest octave and vice versa, in any desirable speed and without causing an artificial impression to the listener. We were also thinking about how to improve the usability aspects for playing Glissando in a much more intuitive & convenient way for a keyboard player, while still preserving the player's full control. Foremost this app allows you to mix Glissando with regular polyphonic notes (e.g. chords) simultaneously or switch between these playing styles quickly at any time without leaving your hands off the keyboard. So for instance you might be playing and holding a chord with your right hand while playing a Glissando slide with your left hand and punching through the right hand's chord from an octave lower than the chord, up to some octave higher than the chord.
Tone Width
Replicating some analogue boutique pad synthesizers is nice, but what about having a huge stack of them? That's where "Tone Width" control comes into play.
Especially the important pad sounds of this app allow you to morph the sound with the "Tone Width" knob in real-time steplessly between a very thin and clean sound up to a huge and fat tonal sound as if an army of pad synths was working under your finger tips.
Sensible Control
Controls for the individual sound aspects is good. But it should be in a sensible way. Nothing is hard wired here. Every sound of this app presents controls that make sense for the individual sound. All the controls presented are always fine tuned to the individual elements of that sound.
You can alter all controls remotely by MIDI e.g. with sliders at your keyboard. The most important controls for each sound are mapped to things that you are most likely using anyway at your keyboard. For instance all sounds use the Aftertouch information of your keyboard to bring more dynamic behaviour into the sound even while just holding some notes. And just grab your modulation wheel at your keyboard to bring in some more variance.
Never Lost
XPad offers up to 462 sounds, but don't worry, it never lets you down and always assists you finding just the sound you need in a glimpse. You can quickly search for sounds with any combination of several criteria like sound characteristics, articulations, controls and more.
Connectivity
Like all our apps, XPad is very easy to use and start with. Just connect your keyboard with your iPad and you are ready to go.
And of course if needed, you can simply tweak the setup, e.g. use a Bluetooth MIDI wireless connection to your keyboard instead of a cabled one, restrict MIDI input to certain devices or apps, connect to other apps with Inter-App Audio or use the sounds of this app as Audio Unit v3 plugin directly in the DAW app of your choice.
Recorder
The app comes with a built-in MIDI recorder that allows you to quickly record your musical ideas. You can share them as audio files with other people or transfer them as MIDI files for further work e.g. on your Mac.
Sound Sets
XPad is divided into 14 optional sound sets of different sound categories and provide up to 462 sounds in total. Even though the app is focused on pad sounds, this is not all this app has to offer sound-wise. The "Atmo" pack for instance contains atmospheric sounds for generating very emotional sound bases and backgrounds e.g. for film and entertainment. The "Perc" sound set contains drums and percussive sounds. The "Silicon" sound set covers synthesizers also offside the pad field, and much more.

Woohaaaa, you will probably need some of these shiny 1TB iPads to get most of this app - huge samples librarys wow
Neat! Nice to see something from this developer in the pad department. Pre-ordered.
Looks cool, but hefty on the hard drive space 😢
Yes, I assume there are a lot of samples in this app. I’ll download it as a placeholder, then offload it until I can get my new iPad Pro.
no external hd support?
Seems like Omnisphere for iPad ❤️
Unfortunately the UI looks pretty dated, have to see if the Sounds offer something new. Is this a sampler or can you tweak those sounds?
I mean I could have this one app on my 64gb mini... Tough choice 🤔
On 64gb super fast ipad mini here too...
Apple could easily add memory expansion slot for iPads. This would solve many of our problems, but this means less $ in sales for apple.
64GB here too. I think I'll just buy that Weirdo sound set, don't need anything else
(That restriction/limitation is also what keeps me from retiring my 2012 mac mini, which is pimped to the limit 😎. I naively looked at how I could get 2 1TB disks in a new M1 version but 😂 - anyway I digress)
Unfortunately, the 2012 mini has limitations too. I wanted to put a 5TB drive inside but had to settle for 2TB because of the drive height
Harsh!
I'd still be reasonably satisfied with such a limited post-purchase configurability of the M1 mac mini.
Oh no haha stop! I already decided I didn’t need this! Nature and Choir packs sound good.
is out. Seems good for the new 1tb iPad😂
And only £108 for the lot.
And only 12 hours for the download time. His apps download from Mars.
Listened to all the demos but not impressed at all😂
Wow! I'll just take the 1TB iPad.
Install size 1.4GB but only one installed preset, rest available for purchase.
I mean, Apple is apparently not forcing the new ipad buyers to purchase a new pencil after all, so they have both the money and the storage for this thing. 🤷
Is IAA only? I reboot ten times iPad but still showing as IAA
Have you launched IAA version at least once (many times needed)?
Just one time. I will try now.
Same here…no AU
Yep, same here on Air3 13.7
Not sure if relevant - app never requested access to mic
It loads fine (as IAA) in AUM and BM3, but not listed in AB3
@Michael
😂😂😂
Does it make a difference if you've bought any IAPs - from the appstore description: "use the sounds of this app as Audio Unit v3 plugin directly in the DAW app of your choice." Not really clear but maybe the IAPs are needed?
Not sure, could be... only downloaded to check, not interested in IAPs
