Accessibility
Trying to make this weird little app as usable as possible for everybody.
I've tried really hard to ensure that MIDIpad is as accessible as possible to as many users as I can.
If anything is tripping you up, please get in touch and let me know how I can help make the app a better experience for you.
Zoom
View → Zoom In ⌘+, Zoom Out ⌘- and Actual Size ⌘0 scale the whole interface between half size and double. It's remembered between launches, and the title bar stays at its normal size so the window controls stay in their usual place. The settings window zooms with it.
Screen readers
Every control has a name and a spoken value, including the sliders, which should say what they're actually set to instead of just reading out a number. Note names are spoken in full - "F sharp", not "F#" - and the help line is read out when a control is focused.
Information shown as an image or icon is also available as text: which chord is armed, which wheel is showing, what the drums dial is showing.
System settings
- Increase Contrast (macOS: System Settings → Accessibility → Display) is picked up by the app.
- Reduce Motion turns off the visualiser's moving layers.
