StickSignalMIDI that finds the route
Send CoreMIDI over Bluetooth, USB, or to another app. Auto-select keeps setup fast; Disabled keeps silence intentional.
iPad drum instrument + MIDI controller
Make every strike playable.
Full-screen iPad drum pads with local acoustic sound and dependable MIDI output.
One gesture. Two independent outputs.
The strike stays yours.
StickSignal turns a direct touch into an immediate local voice and a clean MIDI event. Use either path—or both—without changing how you play.

Built around the performance
Less setup between you and the hit.
Sound and signal, separately
Hear local acoustic drums, send MIDI, or run both. Each path has its own control, so monitoring never dictates your routing.
Two focused layouts
Play a compact two-pad EarDrum surface or a six-pad General MIDI kit. Tune note, channel, velocity, level, and pan per pad.
Dynamics without the wait
Pressure and motion shape each hit from the samples already available at contact—no delayed strike and no prediction theatre.
Seven kits, fully local
Seven acoustic treatments stay local. Three detailed kits add recorded round-robin strikes, layered dynamics, and closed-hi-hat choke behavior.
A stage-safe lock
Performance Lock puts editing behind a deliberate 1.5-second hold and confirmation, while keeping the playable surface live.
A surface, not a dashboard
Built to disappear under your hands.
Large targets, restrained controls, and intentional states keep the instrument readable on a stand, on a desk, or mid-performance.

Local by design
Your playing is not a product.
No account. No ads. No analytics. No data collection. Preferences and sensor processing stay on the iPad; Bluetooth is used only when you choose a MIDI connection.
