MadPad transforms the everyday sights and sounds of the modern world into songs in the key of life. The latest mobile app innovation from Smule is a virtual percussion smorgasbord, bringing together a multitude of commonplace noises and found sounds like car doors slamming, dogs barking and coffee percolating to enable iOS users to create, record and share their own homemade rhythms and loops. It's the music of trashcans, frying pans and cargo vans, suburban symphonies orchestrated from the distractions most of us have learned to ignore, and the end results are uniquely compelling and even oddly beautiful. 

All MadPad audio samples are touch-enabled and come complete with video clips, meaning both your ears and eyes can follow the cacophony you create. Users can make music from preinstalled sounds, download additional sets of samples or capture their own audio, sharing their work with the MadPad community to inspire even more mashups. The user experience is vintage Smule--intuitive and seamless--and the creative possibilities seem limitless. If you've ever quietly tapped out a rhythm on a tabletop or pounded out a monster air drum solo to the tune of "In the Air Tonight," then MadPad is the app for you.
