Hi. I'm the developer of AudiosSwift. Let me know if you have questions about the app. There's a free 15-days trial.

AudioSwift has many applications depending on your needs. It's used by Film/TV composers, sound designers, mobile and desktop producers.

- It can be a handy two faders or one fader+pan mixing controller, with a jog wheel and even a surround controller for Pro Tools & Logic Pro.

- Trigger pads with MPE support to make beats or ambient music.

- Sliders to control orchestral instruments.

- XY pads for sound design. If you use Zebra or Hive, you can control all four XY pads at once. viewtopic.php?p=8573285#p8573285

And more... There are a couple of user reviews over the VI-Control forum. You can give it a try.

hey, thanks for the infos, i will check it out and plan to demo it myself next month when i have more free time.

as a user with just a bluetooth midi keyboard without any faders or potis and the wish to use as few cables and devices as possible for my production, it looks pretty interesting to me.

i will add my personal feedback here when i can say something about it. but so far, definitely its a really cool idea!

Great Idea !
I just stumbled over this the first time.

@Nigel Rios
do you have any idea what would happen if we connect two Trackpads to a mac at once.
So, running two TPs at once. One flipped to midi-CC control mode. One kept mac-og.
Should this work ?

( also a thing of placement in my case. I´d need the TP for CC control on the left, but for TP-mouse uses on the right / this, vs. keyboard playing at the same time)

Hi. Yes it works. By default, AudioSwift can be activated from either trackpads. That one will be the MIDI controller. The pointer gets frozen at this moment. Touching the other trackpad will turn AudioSwift off automatically to let you move the pointer again.

In Preferences, there’s a setting to automatically turn on AudioSwift by just touching one of the trackpads. And in the latest AudioSwift beta version, there’s an additional feature that lets move the pointer from the second trackpad without turning off AudioSwift.

BTW, AudioSwift is on sale until December 2nd, 2024. Get AudioSwift with 50% off ($10, regular $20) using coupon code BLACKFRIDAY50 at checkout.

Nice !....i allready forgotten about this app. Oh well.......

is it running with macOS Sequoia ?

one license is good for how many macs ?

[Nigel Rios]

One license and you can install and use AudioSwift in all the Macs where you’re the main user.

I haven’t installed Sequoia in my computer yet, but it should work and haven’t received reports by users that it doesn’t. You can download the 15 days free trial and test it before purchasing. Make sure to follow the steps before running AudioSwift the first time in the computer.

AudioSwift transforms your trackpad into MIDI tools like sliders, XY pads, triggers, MPE, and a mixer controller.

Visit our blog and download the current beta version which has tons of new features:

• New Support in Mixer Mode for Digital Performer and LUNA.
• New AudioSwift Mixer Script for Ableton Live. Adds better control of faders, panning and selected parameter in Live from the trackpad, using simple touch gestures. It's great for automation and when working mobile on a MacBook.
• New AudioSwift Control Script for Ableton Live. Control your Ableton Live macros and plugin parameters directly with 4 sliders on the trackpad, and with updated information in the Console and Trackpad windows.
• New Surround Controller option for Pro Tools and Logic Pro, using either a trackpad or the touch surface of a Magic Mouse.
• New Snapshots feature for changing to specific views/banks and Controller Modes using key shortcuts 1 to 0, or recalling them with Program Change Messages from the DAW. Snapshots also allows to set the Console to a specific MIDI channel and velocity value.
• Adds option to copy the labels from a Drum Rack in Ableton Live to the pad labels in Trigger Mode. It requires the AudioSwift Control Script for Ableton Live.
• Adds option to load specific settings from a preset file.
• New 14 bit support for XY pads and sliders.
• The issue with floating windows disappearing with certain DAWs is fixed.
• New option to disable AudioSwift key shortcuts and continue using your DAW shortcuts.
• New option to unlock the cursor from other input devices while AudioSwift is on.
• New MIDI keys option for the computer keyboard.
• Additional XY pads and sliders layouts.
• New option to send Channel Pressure messages via XY pads, sliders and MPE.
• Updated interface for the Console and Trackpad windows.
