What is a Song Pad?

Song Pads are custom built pads crafted to match over 500+ songs in the MultiTracks.com Catalog. Song Pads can set the tone before a song begins and continue the moment after tracks end. Song Pads act as ambient layers of sound, enhancing the auditory experience during playback by adding rich, atmospheric textures to tracks.

Each Song Pad is uniquely designed to match the sound and style of a specific song in the Catalog. Our growing Catalog of Song Pads is available exclusively in Playback. In the demo setlist available on Playback, many songs include their own Song Pads, although not all tracks may have one.

How do I use Song Pads?

  • The Live Bundle unlocks the entire Catalog of Song Specific Ambient Pads for use exclusively in the Pad Player in Playback.

  • Song Pads are available in the Pad Player interface and are automatically assigned to play underneath the corresponding song, when a song is loaded.

Checking for Song Pad Availability

Users can quickly check for Pad availability by viewing the song in the Playback app setlist. (With or without all of the tracks). The song would be available in the song's edit menu in the "Pad Player" section. If a song pad is not available, a user can request it directly from this menu.


Using Song Pads in Playback

When available, Song-specific Pads appear automatically in Playback's Pad Player, streamlining live performances by reducing manual configuration and enhancing focus on the performance.

Reminder: Song-specific Pads are included exclusively in the Live Bundle.
