Grooves to go
The biggest leap forward with the two new versions comes in the form of native plug-and-play support forIK's iRig Pads MIDI groove controller. Featuring 16 velocity-sensitive, backlit multicolour rubber pads, it gives users a new tactile way to get creative with their favourite apps while working "outside the box". When GrooveMaker 2 is paired with iRig Pads, it automatically provides two separate modes, Groove Mode and Launch Mode. These customise the pads, knobs and sliders to let users control groove length, browse through loops, tweak effects, trigger Randomixes and a whole lot more without having to touch their device's screen.
Digital decks
DJ Rig for iPad also natively supports iRig Pads, and when the two are paired together DJs can take control like never before. iRig pads can be used with each of DJ Rig for iPad's different sections to allow for tactile hardware responsiveness while syncing and crossfading tracks, triggering samples, adding effects and more. With iRig Pads and DJ Rig for iPad, users now have a powerful portable DJ setup that can be taken anywhere.
