Twelve percussion pads, computed not sampled. No needless latency.
Pads is a grid of twelve percussion sounds to play with your fingers. Kick, snare, rim, clap, three toms, closed and open hat, shaker, cowbell and cymbal. Laid out the way a drum machine is — heavy and low at the bottom, bright and short at the top — because that is the layout hands already know. • A pad sounds **when the finger goes down**, not when it lifts: a pad that waits is a pad that is late, and late is the one thing a drum machine cannot be • Every pad carries its family's colour, even at rest • Every hit lights the pad and taps the phone under the sound • Retriggering works: two quick hits sound twice **No samples.** All twelve sounds are computed: a sine whose pitch drops for the kick, filtered noise for the hat, three offset bursts for the clap, inharmonic partials for the cymbal. The whole kit is a few hundred kilobytes of arithmetic rather than a bundle of audio files — and there is no licence to chase behind any sound in it. What Pads does not do: • no account, no sign-up • **it does not listen**: no microphone, no permission beyond the ads network and the vibrator • no servers of ours Privacy policy: https://mindcontact.app/mcma-pads/privacy/
