Description
AutoPad is the easiest way to bring ambient pad loops into your mix!
AutoPad generates atmospheric drone sounds that lend subtle structure to your live performances and recordings. Simply tap a key, and AutoPad will provide a tasteful soundscape that plays for as long as you like. Natural crossfades between keys are handled automatically.
Features:
- Perform with ease. AutoPad has two modes: Live mode gives you instant access to all twelve keys, and setlist mode lets you build a custom list of songs.
- Set the mood. AutoPad comes with 10 carefully designed pad sounds. Each one creates a unique atmosphere in all 12 keys.
- Expand your library. You can add to the factory sounds by importing your own pads or by purchasing one of the in-app sound packs.*
- Shape your sound. AutoPad's menu gives you control over crossfade time, high-pass and low-pass filters, reverb amount, pan, and volume.
- Easy on storage. AutoPad's seamlessly looped sample-based drones contain just what you need to provide a pleasing atmosphere and don't take up excessive space on your device.
- Stay in sync. AutoPad features a customizable metronome with a dedicated pan control. Keep your band locked in without needing to lug around a tracks rig.
- Deep MIDI Control. AutoPad's MIDI Actions menu makes it easy to customize how AutoPad responds to your MIDI controller.
- Use with other apps. AutoPad comes with a fully-featured AUv3 plugin! Run AutoPad alongside other music apps in your favorite AUv3 host.
- Now on the Mac. AutoPad runs on macOS! You can use AutoPad as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plug-in in a compatible host. Both Intel and M1 Macs supported.
- Go Wireless. Ableton Link lets you stay in sync with other devices on the same Wi-Fi network. AutoPad also supports Bluetooth MIDI controllers and AirPlay audio.
- Share with friends. Make sure your band is all on the same page by easily sharing setlists with AirDrop.
- Stay organized. AutoPad lets you save and recall setlists with a simple setlist manager.
- Looks great. AutoPad features a dark color scheme that is easy on the eyes and performs well on the stage.
Note on use:
AutoPad sounds great in a variety of contexts, but please make sure you understand the intended use before purchase.
AutoPad's sounds are designed to be played softly and continuously behind live musicians. They include the root, fifth, and octave. As such, they can be used in a major or minor context. When using AutoPad in worship music, it is not necessary to change the pad with each chord change. For example, if you have a song in the key of E, you can play a pad in E for the duration of the song.

* While files of any length can be imported into AutoPad, due to realtime memory restrictions, AutoPad loads a 3.5 minute subsection of files longer than four minutes. A short fade is applied to eliminate pops. See manual for details.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app - lacks innovation
I’ve bought all the pads $24 in total which I think they sound great. But I think for the amount of money I’ve spent there needs to be an option for octaves and to be able to layer the pads - layer a shimmer over a strings pad, play a c4 over a c6 with a more standout reverb and all that. All customisable in the setlist. Just some thoughts. Otherwise fantastic idea for service ambience.
Great! Room for growth too.
I love the sounds. I would love for there to be minor chords available too and at some stage the ability to put together chord charts so that the ambiance moves with your song without you having to change the chord yourself. I’d also love to be able to move the octaves around a little more so that the root chord is always the highest or lowest of the song (when it switches it up half way through a progression it sounds a little odd...although perhaps I’m not familiar enough with the app yet and there is already a functionality around this..I’ve only been playing around for 5 mins on it). I do like the app and I think for the price point it should do a little more. Currently it behaves more like a 99c app. Thanks and I look forward to seeing the updates. :)
Amazing app
I use this app every Sunday at church and Friday at youth and it always works seamlessly. The filter options really assist our sound team to achieve the sound they want.
My only critique or suggestion for improvement is the setlist. It is a really great tool but could be improved by having saved settings for many songs in a seperate “song library”. For example: I create a pad in A for ‘king of my heart’ one week, and then save it to this personal song library. Then the next time I need to play the song I can just add it to my live setlist. That would be AWESOME and save a lot of time.
Thanks guys!
