Velocity Keyboard

Velocity Keyboard is a powerful velocity-sensitive MPE compatible MIDI controller.

FEATURES

• unique velocity sensing algorithm that tracks touch force like no other app
• Four interface layouts: Keyboard, String, Scale, and Drum Pad
• runs as an Audio Unit or as a standalone app
• 8 simultaneous sources of MIDI CC parameter control: touch area, touch force (on devices that support 3D Touch), touch Y-coordinate, velocity to CC and up to four MIDI CC control knobs
• smooth MIDI pitch bending between notes in both string and keyboard layouts
• highlight custom scales in any key
• dedicated MIDI modes for maximum flexibility when controlling non-MPE compatible synthesizers
• pitch bend correction algorithm plays more in-tune with more freedom of expression when bending between notes (compared to similar MIDI controller apps)
• can output velocity as a MIDI CC or aftertouch message to better support synths that aren't designed with velocity sensing in mind

What does this app do differently from our iFretless apps?

• It uses much less RAM because it doesn't load any audio samples
• It has MIDI aftertouch controls, so changes in touch pressure and location that occur after after the start of a note can control MIDI CC parameters
• It supports highlighting notes in custom scales
• It has piano keyboard, scale, and drum pad layout options
• It has updated velocity sensing and pitch correction algorithms
• It has better visibility, making it feel more playable on smaller screens, or with a larger number of rows and columns
