I absolutely love MiniMusic's BeatPad. You can see some of my previous posts on BeatPad here. Here's a post of BeatPad driving a Moog Voyager and Roland TR-909. Simon Gatrall sent the following to AH. It's great to know where the design came from.
"I based the analog line portion on the EML 400, and the drum portion on an X0X style machine. I designed Beatpad and Minimusic did the coding/support/etc.
I have a prototype of the "analog" portion of the sequencer built in Max, but it doesn't have the same pattern storage tools or the start point changing.
Some day I'd like to reproduce or expand on the concept for a Mac based version.
I also ran a company called Swivel Systems which developed a General MIDI add on for earlier Palms, but I have to say that the concept of Beatpad was what got me started with the whole thing."
Cheers to Simon and MiniMusic for creating such a cool piece of software. Now we just need a Mac and PC version for the tablet. Title link takes you to MiniMusic.
