DISC Keith Mcmillen BopPad

Full Description

Get expressive and creative

The Keith Mcmillen BopPad offers drummers, percussionists and producers a great deal of creative expression. The 10-inch pad allows for various dynamic expression that can be programmed to any sound and mapped to parameters of your choice. Being velocity sensitive the BopPad features a wide dynamic range allowing for the most sensitive hits to the most extreme. The BopPad is continuous pressure sensitive and can be mapped to any parameter meaning you can hold and change pressure to change a sound's parameter such as the frequency cutoff. This can also be done by moving across the pad as well. Program anything from MIDI notes, velocity, pitch bend, pressure and location CCs.

Programmable pads

Map the pad to whatever you want. There are 4 programmable zones that can either be mapped to different sounds or timbres, or you can use the whole pad to trigger a single sound. For example, you can create a drum kit with each zone as a different sound, or set the pad as a snare drum and the pad will gather all the nuances such as velocity and timbre depending on where you hit, making the BopPad act as a virtual instrument. The BopPad features ultra-low latency ensuring latency under 3ms allowing you to play at quick speed with high accuracy.

New range of sonic possibilities

Add a whole new range of sonic possibilities to your drum set. Connect up the drum pad to your drum set and use it as an extra piece to trigger samples, sound effects, pads, and chords whilst playing to create a unique drumming performance. Play your synthesizer or hardware using the BopPad for a new way to enjoy creating music. Whatever your skill set the BopPad provides ease of use as well as advanced features making it useful for any skill level.

Interact with sound just how you want

Play with anything from your hands, fingers, mallets, drum sticks, or anything that you can find, the robust tuned elastomer surface features Keith McMillen's patented Smart Fabric Sensor Technology that gives you a traditional feel and new way to explore your creativity and expression.

Compact, portable design

Designed with portability in mind, the BopPad features a compact, rugged design perfect for on-the-go producers. Easily pack it into your bag, take it out anywhere, and play. The plug-and-play via USB connection allows for seamless integration with your laptop, mobile device or desktop and works with all music software.
