PadBrain
Pads, backing tracks, click
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Built for live drumming: backing tracks to the house, click to your in-ears, pads on cue, from one phone. Songs can run into the next; a stray tap asks before it stops.
PadBrain is a sampling pad and a multitrack backing-track player for drummers — pad sounds, backing tracks and the click from one iPhone, iPad or Mac.
ON STAGE
• Backing tracks and click run on one clock. One splitter cable: left to the house (tracks + pads), right to your in-ears (click + cues).
• Section jumps and HOLD — when the leader wants the chorus again, HOLD. Jumps always land on the next bar line.
• At a song's end, stop, or go straight into the next on the beat.
• PANIC (press and hold), LIVE LOCK, foot switches and page-turner pedals.
• Home pressed or screen locked, the tracks and the click go on.
PADS
• A kit per song, nine pads. Real recorded acoustic, 808, percussion and FX kits included.
• Plug in a USB MIDI pad, drum module or trigger and play. Around 10 ms.
• Pads that fire by themselves on a section's first beat (a crash on the chorus).
PREP
• Share your own or licensed backing tracks from a chat, mail or AirDrop to PadBrain. The app listens for its tempo and sections.
• Split tracks (click on one side, band on the other) work too — the click stays in your ears.
• Several sets (church, band, practice), a linked iCloud Drive folder per set, a whole show in one file for another device.
• Rig drawings — on your own, with an engineer, practice, pads and triggers — down to the plugs.
METRONOME
• Tap tempo, subdivisions (quarters, 8ths, 16ths, triplets), 1–8 bar loops.
Every feature free. No ads, no account, no data collected. Works offline.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• The pre-show check no longer floats as a lone box on iPad and Mac.
• Files with no sound, or backing tracks under a second, are refused instead of added. Import errors are clearer.
• On iPad and Mac, the set list on Live no longer cuts a playing song (stop first, or use NEXT).
