Keith McMillen Instruments BopPad Red Smart Fabric Drum Pad (Red)

Performing musicians looking for a rugged drum trigger pad will be impressed with the red Keith McMillen Instruments BopPad Red Smart Fabric Drum Pad, an advanced electronic drum pad controller capable of sending accurate, highly nuanced MIDI data to your computer or tablet. This latest red version updates the connector to USB-C and features a new, ultradurable ABS-polycarbonate enclosure. The BopPad features a fast-response, 10" playing surface, which uses the company's proprietary Smart Fabric Sensor Technology to provide a traditional feel and an expanded range of expressive possibilities for triggering samples, sound effects, pads, chords, and more.

Designed to be played with sticks, hands, or any convenient object, the pad is ideal for both conventional and experimental styles of play. The BopPad playing surface splits into four independent quadrants, each with different sounds. Nearly all aspects of how the BopPad responds to user input can be customized with the BopPad Editor software (free download available separately). The Editor enables you to define what data your BopPad will send, how it will send the data, and how that data is controlled by the different sources. Each quadrant can send up to six MIDI notes, as well as continuous control (CC), polyphonic aftertouch, channel pressure, velocity, and pitch-bend messages.
