Background pads for your band

Features & Capabilities

AutoPad adds atmospheric drone textures to your mix with a single tap. It generates evolving pads in all 12 keys, supports two modes (Live and Setlist), ships with 10 pad sounds, and lets you crossfade between notes while shaping tone with filters, reverb, pan, and volume.

It’s built as an AUv3 plugin and macOS app, with Ableton Link for wireless syncing, Bluetooth MIDI, AirPlay, and easy setlist sharing and management. You can import custom pads to expand your library, and AutoPad is designed to be memory-efficient for stage use.

User Reviews

AutoPad is loved for its simple interface, strong ambient pad sounds, and practical set-list management for worship teams. It handles MIDI controllers well for live use and benefits from ongoing updates. Recurring issues include MIDI reliability, a 3.5-minute cap on imported pads, occasional stability drops, Mac/desktop compatibility gaps, and some navigation quirks between Live and Set List views. Overall, a solid worship tool with room for MIDI and cross‑platform improvements.

Pros

Easy-to-use interface with large buttons that let you start pads quickly during live worship.
Excellent ambient pad sounds and the ability to import additional pads and tweak them (tuning, filters).
Strong set-list and song management: per-song tempo, key, and pad type, plus ordering and clear per-song pad assignment.
Reliable click track and good support for external controllers (MIDI devices) in live setups.
Active development and solid iPad Pro compatibility, with positive reception from worship teams.

Cons

MIDI integration can be inconsistent: MIDI learn and external controllers don’t always work reliably across devices.
3.5-minute limit on imported pads (Motion Pads) makes longer talking segments difficult.
Pads can stop playing after extended use (10–20 minutes) requiring restarting the app.
Mac/desktop support is limited: not AU on macOS Monterey and some features don’t function well on Mac.
UI/UX quirks between Live and Set List views and some navigation confusions when moving songs between lists; chord options are limited.

I love this app, I use it every time I play at any given church - ranging from 90 to 300 ppl

I use it as pads under an acoustic guitar for youth worship. We use MultiTracks in our main service, but their default pad is boring and additional pads are expensive, so I wanted something else for youth. I bought this and the sound packs and brought in some others as well (AeroSpace Audio), all for a reasonable amount. Setting it up for midi with an MPD218 was a game changer and made it even easier to use. I do have a few improvement suggestions (mostly regarding midi) if the developer is ever interested.

I’m not sure about the midi I can’t find a way to connect with my piano I’ve tried Bluetooth and wired and still don’t seem to get a response I will be glad to get a feedback if I am doing anything wrong.
