"I had a blast working with iRig Pads, and wouldn't want to go back to programming beats without it. Setup is easy, it's small and light enough to take with you along with your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone, and it doesn't require any external power supply. And when you get home, you can plug it into your computer and use it with that too. Best of all, it scores really high on fun factor, and allows you to take direct physical control of your music."
Here are quotes from the review of iRig Pads from Harmony-Central.com:
"I really like iRig Pads. It's light and compact, yet relatively solid, stable and sturdy. Programming it is easy, and it's more powerful than it appears at first glance. It doesn't drain your battery unreasonably, and it is much more ergonomic to play and program beats with it than it is to do so on the iPad's screen, but more importantly, the two devices work extremely well together and compliment each other's features."
"Using iRig Pads is about as simple as it gets for a product of this type, and it doesn't take long to get up to speed with it. I was quickly using the pads and other controls on iRig Pads to stop and start the decks, scratch, solo EQ bands and do all sorts of other fun things such as adjusting pitch and triggering samples and sound effects in IK Multimedia's DJ Rig app. The slider let me crossfade between the app's two virtual decks easily and intuitively, and the hardware worked seamlessly with the software."
"It's a lot more fun working with iRig Pads than it is with just the iPad alone. Physically it provides you with a really nice set of physical controls, and it's a lot easier on your hands tapping on the iRig Pads than it is on the iPad's screen, especially if you're a bit heavy-handed as you play, as I am occasionally."
"iRig Pads is relatively compact and light, making it easy to take with you."
