AutoPad — Ambient Pad Loops v1.3.2
Audio SymmetricAbout this app
Developer Description
Background pads for your band
AutoPad plays back a seamlessly looped set of sample-based drones that provide 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:
- AutoPad has two modes: LIVE mode gives you instant access to all twelve keys, while SETLIST mode allows you to create a custom list of songs.
- AutoPad comes with 10 carefully designed pad sounds. Each one provides a unique atmosphere in all 12 keys.
- Expand your sound library by purchasing one of the in-app sound packs or by importing your own pad files. (Note: The Android version only supports wav files at this time.)
- AutoPad features a built-in metronome. Keep your band locked in without needing to lug around a tracks rig.
- AutoPad's menu gives you control over crossfade time, two filters, reverb amount, pan, and volume.
- AutoPad responds to MIDI! Plug in a MIDI controller and trigger your pads with a keyboard. (Note: Android version does not support virtual MIDI or Bluetooth MIDI at this time.)
- 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.

AutoPad — Ambient Pad Loops users say on Google Play
I've been using this for over a year and found it very useful as a solo guitarist. You need a volume-pedal to go between your phone and the amp, so that you can subtly control the level. I had to "fake" a pair of headphones on the speaker jack because the Motorola phone tries to identify what's plugged in and didn't seem to like the pedal. But once I got the hardware working it has been fine. The chords don't contain a third interval, so you can use them with songs in a major or minor key.
Absolutely love the pad sounds, especially the "Grainscapes" add-on pack. Other features such as control over the crossfade time and reverb are also very helpful. I am confused about the setlist mode however. I assumed a"song" would let me add multiple pads/notes and be able to step through them. It allows only a single note... It would be a great addition to allow a sequence of notes, even groups of notes for intro, verse, chorus, bridge and outro. Or perhaps the ability to setup loops.
Each pad has a random pop too it. I've restarted the phone (s10+) but no luck. So, can't use it. 10/01 Update : Plugged my phone into the sound system on air plane mode + do not disturb via head phone socket and all was OK. I was hearing the pop when just using the phone speaker. Didn't get time to see if it's just a phone speaker issue or not.
Great pads but shuts off when in the background. I run it on my tablet and I split screen between music stand and auto pad and it has shut off midway through our Sunday set for a month straight. No matter if it's in the foreground or background it shuts off mid set everytime. Super frustrating because the interface is awesome, the pads are gorgeous and the fader works so dang well, but it's basically unusable because it shuts off mid service
wasted money. I had purchased 2 separate bundles that were available to have some extra soundscapes, after purchasing the files would not download whatsover and there's no way to try download them again because the app says I already have them (which I dont)
