Pads first
Put notes, CC, toggles, XY gestures, and scale touches on the same bank without digging through a setup screen.
Actual controls
Pads, routing, panic. That is the loop.
OP Companion is meant to stay open while you play. The important stuff is visible, thumb-sized, and close enough to change without breaking the take.
Finger position matters
A pad can be a trigger, a two-axis control, or a tuned surface depending on what the moment needs.
Routing stays nearby
Pick wired, Bluetooth, virtual, or hardware destinations without hiding the performance surface.
Panic is not buried
When a note sticks or a destination gets weird, the reset path is part of the main surface.
Pad engine
Each pad becomes its own instrument.
Pick the kind of musical control you want first, then shape how it behaves while you play. A bank can mix chords, gestures, toggles, faders, and scale surfaces without forcing every pad into the same role.
Notes
Play drums, bass hits, melodic stabs, or single-note triggers from any pad.
MIDI CC
Send filter sweeps, effect depth, mixer moves, and hardware parameter changes.
Toggle CC
Latch sustain, arm effects, flip performance states, or hold a value hands-free.
Touch CC
Turn finger position into expressive X/Y control for live modulation.
Touch Scale
Map a pad into playable notes so gestures become tuned phrases instead of guesses.

Live control
Built for the messy middle of a session.
OP Companion keeps the practical controls close: learn a destination, duplicate a useful pad, jump between project libraries, and recover quickly when a synth or plugin needs a reset.
Connect the rig you have
USB, Bluetooth, virtual destinations, and hardware interfaces can all sit in the same setup.
Move ideas between projects
Save pad presets, copy full pad behavior, and keep reusable control ideas close.
Recover mid-session
Panic controls and quick edits are built for the moment something gets stuck on stage.
Shape whole banks quickly
Bulk edit and project libraries keep large pad surfaces manageable instead of tedious.
Compatibility
Built for the instruments around you.
OP Companion speaks MIDI, so it can sit beside software instruments, hardware synths, and nearby mobile devices without locking the setup to one kind of rig.
Software synths
Route pads, CC gestures, toggles, and touch control into synth apps, plugins, and virtual instruments.
Hardware synths
Send notes, CC, modulation, toggles, and performance gestures to hardware rigs.
Other phones
Advertise this device as a Bluetooth MIDI peripheral so another phone or tablet can connect while you play.
