![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Compatible with several DAWs (see requirements).User configurable preferences settings.Four controller modes: Mixer, Trigger, Scale and XY. #AUDIOSWIFT TO TRACKPAD HOW TO#If you have an iPad, you can do this kind of stuff using a remote controller app for your DAW, but your trackpad is already there for you and Audioswift might be a quicker and more convenient option – four finger tap, app is enabled, you do what you need to do, press ESC on the computer keyboard, done (and repeat when needed).Īlso, I recommend watching these videos that cover 3 of the 4 modes (you can quickly learn the most important gestures and shortcuts), starting with the Trigger mode:Īs for the Mixer mode, this is how to set it up with Ableton Live: Make sure you try the demo to see if it works for you. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings for Audioswift, and we’ll have more about it soon. #AUDIOSWIFT TO TRACKPAD UPGRADE#Those users with a Force Touch-compatible trackpad can also enjoy the extra expression features of the app (time to upgrade my Magic Trackpad, I guess!). Also, it would be cool to use the trackpad as a sort of ribbon controller for continuous sounds, for Theremin-like instruments. Scale customization would be a nice extra feature. The app features a good number of scales, and I believe more are coming. I also used the Scale mode with some synths, and it’s definitely better than using your Mac’s keyboard if you don’t have a proper controller around you (or if you just want to sketch a quick part without plugging stuff). It won’t be as nice as using actual pads, but for some quick beats I’m sure you won’t mind. I mostly tried Audioswift in trigger mode, with a few drum machine plugins, and if you don’t have a dedicated drum pad controller, Audioswift can be a convenient alternative option. I only had a problem once, with Logic getting stuck while using the Scale mode with Sculpture, but I’m sure the developer will address bugs like this in the next updates. I tested it on a Mac Mini with a Magic Trackpad, installation went smooth and Logic Pro X immediately recognized the new device. I only spent a couple of hours with AudioSwift, but considering mine was a pre-release version, I was quite impressed. AudioSwift also lets you make beats, play notes in a key and use the trackpad as an XY pad. ![]()
