Send MIDI with your controller

Tap a button or move a joystick and send MIDI CC and MIDI notes. You can edit what it sends and apply additional layers.

Additional Layers

Add some depth to your mapping by playing multiple layers at the same time. Make a control a modifier and let it toggle between different mapping layers.

Haptic Controls & RGB

The small stuff that makes a controller feel like yours. Add color mapping and rumble on supported controllers.

Controller pads colour-coded to the mapping

Your controls, color-coded.

PadMap color-matches your pad LEDs to their assigned controls, so you always know what each one does.

The rumble intensity control: off, soft, double or triple pulse

Stay in the flow.

Subtle haptic feedback confirms every press, so you can keep playing without looking down.

Before you buy

Will my controller work?

PadMap speaks generic gamepad input — if your computer already recognises the pad as a controller, PadMap sees it too. RGB and rumble are the exception: those only work on controllers that expose them.

Unsure about yours? Mail hello@sinuslabs.io before you buy and we'll tell you straight.

Is there a free demo?

Yes — the demo is the full plugin, free to download. It just runs 25 minutes per session; drop in a license key any time to unlock it for good. Grab it from the buy section below. And every purchase is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee — no form, no reason needed.

Which DAWs does it work with?

All of them. PadMap is a standalone app that creates a virtual MIDI device — Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Bitwig, Reaper, Traktor, or anything else that accepts MIDI input just sees a controller.

What do I need to run it?

Windows 10/11 (64-bit) or macOS 10.14+. A one-off internet connection to activate, then it runs offline. Your licence covers your own machines and every future update.

Where is my license key?

It's emailed the moment you pay, and it lives in your account portal — sign in with the address you purchased with, no password required.
