Mobile groovers needn't worry about forgetting the power adapter because it doesn't need one, the 7.5 x 8.1 x 0.9 in (190 x 205 x 23 mm), 1.2 lb (547 g) unit draws the power it needs from the device it's connected to. The iRig Pads has been designed for use with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via the included Lightning cable (30-pin connector is available separately), as well as Mac and PC over USB. IK Multimedia has today announced that the device is now available for shipping. We got a quick look at the portable digital beat maker and MIDI controller for the electronic musician on the move at IFA 2014, but the company wasn't quite ready to release final specs. Earlier this year, IK Multimedia shared its product roadmap for 2014 with Gizmag, which included a brief overview of a 16 pad groove controller called the iRig Pads.
