About 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

Superlative

Fantastic and extensively tweakable MIDI controller from a very responsive developer who has been a leader in IOS fretboard controller innovation since the earliest days of IOS.

Not good for iPad to MacBook connection

This will not connect to Logic as a controller. Neither will it connect to BFD3. I believe this is to control iPad apps only and is not usable as a midi controller for the MacBook wired or not. Thoroughly disappointed I spent $10 to find that out. The app also crashes a lot, and sometimes the scale is on the page, but only when the app feels like it wants it there. No matter the buttons I push I cannot get the Scale to show on the keys unless I am in drum pad.
