¶ Pad
Category: 🎚️ Interfaces
¶ Description
A flat resizable pad you can punch or hit with anything physical. Emits the hit velocity and the X/Y position on the pad surface (each 0-1).
Great for drum pads, virtual buttons, or game-like targets. Resize by dragging the corner handle - lock the size in the inspector once you're happy. The toggleColor jolt input swaps between a bright and dimmed look (useful as a visual feedback for hit/active state).
