In short

Tactus MIDI turns an iPhone or iPad into a wireless control surface for music software, pairing over Bluetooth or connecting via USB or Wi-Fi. It offers faders, knobs, pads, keys, and an eight-channel console, aimed at musicians who want hardware-style control on a mobile device. One notable feature is MPE support, which gives each held note its own pitch bend and tone control.

About

Your studio, at your fingertips.

Tactus turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless control surface for your music software. No cables. No dongles. Nothing extra to install on your computer.

Pair once over Bluetooth and your device becomes faders, knobs, pads and keys - ready to play.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY

Perform — Your everyday panel. Faders and knobs for the controls you reach for most, an XY pad for expression, drum pads, a keyboard and transport, all on one screen.

Keys — A full-width keyboard with pitch bend and modulation. Play softly near the top of the keys, harder toward the bottom. Jump octaves without breaking your flow.

Pads — Sixteen responsive pads in a familiar drum-rack layout. Brush one for a ghost note, strike it for an accent.

Console — Eight channel strips with volume, pan, mute, solo and record arm, plus a master fader. Move through your session a bank at a time to reach sixty-four tracks.

MADE FOR REAL PLAYING

Ten fingers at once. Ride two faders, hold a chord and hit a pad — nothing drops out from under you.

Velocity comes from where you strike, so the same pad can whisper or shout.

Full-screen mode hands a page the whole display when you want nothing in the way.
