7.1 PADS
All the 16 pads on iRig Pads can send MIDI Note ON and OFF, MIDI CH and MIDI CC messages.
On each pad it’s possible to program what kind of message will be sent (Note, CC or MIDI CH) and in which
mode it will be sent (temporary or toggle).
Each pad is illuminated by a dual color LED (green/red) and the illumination gives you feedback on the pad
status.
7.1.1 Sending Notes
Temporary Mode
When a pad is programmed to work in temporary mode (Temp), Note ON messages will be sent when pressing
the pad and Note OFF messages will be sent when releasing the pad.
During the time when a pad is kept pressed, it will illuminate with a color fading from 100% green at velocity 1 to
100% red at velocity 127. Velocity 64 will illuminate the pad 50% green and 50% red. If the pad is pushed and
held, Channel After Touch messages are sent.
Toggle Mode
When in Toggle mode Note ON messages are sent when the pad is pressed, releasing the pad will not produce
any MIDI message.
A Note OFF message will be sent pressing the same pad again.
When a Note ON message has been sent the pad will illuminate the colors described above until the pad is
pressed again to send the Note OFF message.
7.1.2 Sending Control Changes
Pads can send MIDI CCs in two ways:
• ABSOLUTE (ABS)
• RELATIVE (REL)
When a pad is programmed to send Control Changes in ABSOLUTE mode it will send a value of 127 for the
selected CC# when the pad is pressed and a value of 0 on the same CC when the pad is released.
As with MIDI Note messages, the pad can be programmed to send CC values in temporary or toggle modes.
After having sent the 127 value the pad will illuminate (RED) and will remain illuminated until the 0 value is sent and
then it will turn off. It will also turn off when some other command to control the backlight of that pad is received.
When a pad is programmed to send Control Changes in RELATIVE mode it will send a value between 0 and 127
on the selected MIDI CC#, depending on the velocity.
As with MIDI Note messages, the pad can be programmed to send CC values in temporary or toggle modes.
