PADFORMS
◌ TELL US WHAT YOU PLAY ON

What you play on shapes what we test.

Padforms works with any 16-pad MIDI controller, including MPC, MPD, Maschine, Fire, Launchpad, and anything else class-compliant. Drop your email and the device you play on. It helps us prioritise tested profiles for the most-used setups, and we'll write back personally if yours needs a tweak.

DEVICES PEOPLE PLAY ON
01
Akai MPC (One, Live, Key, X)

Standard MPC pad layout. Padforms reads it natively. Use the desktop in MIDI controller mode.

WORKS
02
Akai MPD series (218, 226, 232)

Factory preset is standard MPC layout. Most-tested setup; the one Padforms grew up on.

WORKS
03
NI Maschine (Mikro, MK3)

Class-compliant over USB. Standard 16-pad layout. Works out of the box for lessons.

WORKS
04
Akai Fire

Standard 4×4 pad layout fits Padforms lessons. RGB cueing isn't used; visual lookahead is the on-screen timeline.

WORKS
05
Novation Launchpad family

The 8×8 grid means lessons use only the bottom-left 4×4. Full 8×8 curriculum is on the roadmap.

PARTIAL
06
Something else

If it's a 16-pad MIDI controller with USB, there's a fair chance it fits. Drop a line and we'll confirm, or build a profile if it needs one.

Your rig shapes what we test next.

We use this to prioritise tested profiles and write back if your rig needs a tweak. No newsletter, no upsells, no "you might also like.".

§PRIVACY

Your email, your inbox. That's it.

We store your email and the controller you own. Nothing else. We never sell or rent the list, and we use it for one thing only: telling you when your controller is supported. When that happens, you get one email.
