The current batch of audio MIDIPans is currently shipping with gold-plated pads. I haven't yet made the decision to include this more expensive option with the standard MIDI-only MIDIPan, those will continue to have the silver-coloured (HASL) pads for the time being. Contact me about special requests.
MIDIPan is a MIDI controller played like a tongue drum with fingers or thumbs on 13 touch-sensitive pads. (12 notes - the root note is duplicated on the centre pad). It is portable - 6 inches in diameter and less than an inch thick. It can output:
- MIDI over USB (now USB-C)
- MIDI over TRS (can give MIDI over 5-pin DIN with a suitable adaptor)
- Optional audio out with a range of instrument sounds
You can set any scale/mode, octave and root note, for example C6 Mixolydian or G4 Minor Pentatonic, and then you'll be able to effortlessly play the notes in that scale and key.
It features velocity-sensitivity for expressive playing.
Includes:
- Fully built and tested
- Tripod mount (as from 1 Jan 2025)
- Custom firmware, written from scratch for this project.
- Built-in looper.
