Connect a PlayStation, Xbox or generic gamepad over USB or Bluetooth and start playing in minutes. On PS4 and PS5 pads, the gyro and touchpad can be mapped too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePadMap creates its own MIDI device, so Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, Cubase, REAPER, Traktor, rekordbox, TouchDesigner or anything else that takes MIDI input sees a controller. There are no plugins to load and nothing to configure inside your DAW beyond selecting the port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTilt the pad to sweep a filter, use the touchpad as an XY pad, or bend pitch with a stick. Add expressive, hands-on movement to productions and DJ sets with a controller you already own. PadMap runs quietly in the background while you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLayers stack several mappings on one pad, and any control can act as a modifier that switches between them. One controller can become a drum pad in one layer, a macro surface in the next, and a transport controller in the third. On supported controllers, the light bar colour-matches the active mapping so you always know which layer you’re on, and rumble confirms each press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePadMap is for producers and DJs who want hands-on control without buying new hardware. The controller most people already own is enough to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with PS5 DualSense, PS4 DualShock 4, Xbox Wireless and generic USB or Bluetooth gamepads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap buttons, triggers and analogue sticks to MIDI notes or CC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGyro and touchpad mapping on PS4 and PS5 pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates its own virtual MIDI device, compatible with any DAW or MIDI software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayers stack multiple mappings on a single controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny control can act as a modifier to switch between layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight bar colour mapping shows the active layer on supported controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRumble feedback confirms each press on supported controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns quietly in the background while you play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandalone app for Windows and macOS, not a plugin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Guides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnline setup guides for 6 DAWs and 3 controllers are available at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sinuslabs.io\/products\/padmap\"\u003esinuslabs.io\/products\/padmap\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows Users\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWindows requires the free \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sinuslabs.io\/manuals\/setup-loopmidi-on-windows-for-padmap\"\u003eloopMIDI\u003c\/a\u003e driver for the MIDI port. macOS needs nothing extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequires:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or macOS 10.14 or later (Intel and Apple Silicon).
