This section covers information that will help you get started with the BopPad. We will introduce the BopPad

hardware, discuss how to connect your BopPad to the world, and go over basic operation of the device and

the editor. More in-depth information is available in the BopPad Hardware and BopPad Editor sections.

2.1 The Boppad hardWare

The BopPad hardware is pretty straight forward. The playing surface is divided into four separate quadrants,

where you strike the instrument to produce amazing sounds.

There is a micro USB port on the back of the device that you can use to connect to a computer, tablet, or

MIDI Expander. Once connected, you can open the DAW/music software of your choice, make sure that

the application is listening to the BopPad, and start triggering drums, playing synths, or sending dynamic

control data to go into more unexplored territory. More information can be found in the BopPad Hardware

section.

You may need to give the browser permission to control your MIDI device.

This is simply a security precaution when sending SysEx to a MIDI device.

To connect to an iOS device, we recommend using an Apple branded

Camera Conection Kit (USB to Lightning adapter). To connect to an

Android device, you should use a USB OTG cable.

2.2 The Boppad sofTWare

The BopPad Editor runs on the desktop, and in WebMIDI capable browsers. The Web Editor for BopPad is

compatible with any device that can run a WebMIDI capable browser. The Standalone Editor is compatible

with any device running macOS or Windows. The Editor allows you to customize nearly all aspects of how

the BopPad responds to user input. More information can be found on the BopPad Software section.
