The ACPAD is the first ever wireless MIDI controller that is able to offer access to a wide variety of programmable features -- the best part is that all you have to do is simply place the controller on the surface on any acoustic guitar that you may have at your disposal.
Awesomely enough, without any modifications at all, the ACPAD manages to bring to life hundreds of different sound effects, instruments, samples and loops to the player's fingertips. The contraption consists of a thin polymer pad that sticks to the surface of the guitar without any adhesive needed. It contains eight touch pads and programmable actuators, all of which are fitted into the device without being invasive.
Ultimately, the ACPAD makes it easier for musicians to make the sounds in their head come reality and express themselves.
