PadLab brings ambient pads, drums and instruments together for rehearsals, music creation and live performance. Play on your iPhone or iPad screen, or connect a compatible MIDI controller.
• Continuous pads in different keys, with transitions and level controls.
• Drum Pads with kits, individual sound selection and batch sample import.
• Live Loops, available as a standalone one-time purchase or included in PadLab Full App, for creating patterns and recording quantized drum hits in one-loop or overdub mode. Arrange scenes, build your own kits and explore Gospel/worship presets.
• A Live Loops mixer with volume, pan, mute, solo and convolution reverb with individual sends for each drum part.
• A metronome with adjustable tempo, time signature, sound and volume.
• MIDI Learn for pads, drum parts, transport, volume and set selection.
• Complete performance sets that bring together pads, drums, Live Loops and StageLab instruments and settings when used. Arrange them in Set List for quick access.
• Import and export performance sets and Live Loops sets with the personal files they use. Performance packages can include your samples and SF2 files.
• On-screen guides to help you learn the controls and revisit them whenever needed.
StageLab is an optional expansion unlocked through an in-app purchase. Combine up to eight sounds, use library instruments or import SoundFont SF2 files. Adjust levels, keyboard ranges, MIDI channels, envelopes, EQ, compression and reverb. Per-sound effects include chorus, tremolo, auto pan, drive and Leslie. Master controls provide volume, separate gain up to +9 dB and MIDI Learn.
Inside StageLab, the WAVE 3 synthesizer offers oscillator, filter, envelope and effects editing, plus an integrated arpeggiator and sequencer. Explore a bank of 24 ARP/SEQ presets, create your own sounds and save your presets.
In the standalone app, WAVE 3 and Live Loops follow the shared metronome. The AUv3 extension lets you use instruments in compatible hosts; Live Loops playback is available only in the standalone app. In AUv3, WAVE 3 retains Local/Host clock options.
PadLab Full App includes Live Loops and StageLab, including for existing Full purchasers. WAVE 3 arpeggiator and sequencer are included in StageLab at no additional charge. Previous standalone ARP/SEQ purchasers retain access to their legacy tools. Buying Live Loops alone does not unlock StageLab or all premium drum kits. Other optional sounds, kits and features are offered through in-app purchases. Factory content referenced by a set depends on the library and purchases available on the destination device.

Regarding the language

Can you please include everything in English as an option as I selected the language English but the inside function still remains in the different language and not changing into English. Can you please fix that
