Real Octapad with Real Pads is a dynamic music and radio app developed by SoundsLanka. Its primary function is to allow users to create music through the manipulation of eight interactive pads.
Experience the Octapad Virtually
Real Octapad with Real Pads is a versatile musical application, designed as a virtual version of the compact, electronic percussion instrument - the Octapad. This tool is a boon for those who want to learn and practice this unique instrument but are unable to access a physical one. The app mirrors the Octapad's structure, featuring eight interactive pads that generate varied sounds in response to the user's touch, enabling the creation of music or song covers.
Customizable Feature Set
The app offers customizable pad settings, allowing users to adjust the volume and pitch to suit their personal preferences. It also introduces a "MOVE PAD" function, but disappointingly, it does not provide the option to change the pad positions. Furthermore, there are no on-screen instructions to guide the user in this aspect. However, it does come equipped with an equalizer to modify settings such as "HIGH PASS," "LOW PASS," "STEREO," and more.
Users can choose between a variety of drum and percussion samples, such as Dholki, Dholki Molam, and Roll Bongo. Some samples like the Indian Hasal and Indian Loops, however, are available only through in-app purchases or by viewing ads.
Recording and Performance
The app provides a "REC" button for recording performances. Unfortunately, the button does not allow users to stop the recording or access their previous recordings. The "MUSIC" button is also non-functional, despite numerous attempts to use it.
Learning Curve
While Real Octapad with Real Pads can be an effective tool for enhancing musical skills and creating fresh music, it has certain limitations. The inability to reposition pads and the non-functional nature of some features, such as the "REC" and "MOVE PAD" buttons, are significant drawbacks. Additionally, for users new to the concept of an Octapad, the app can prove to be quite challenging to navigate and master.
