BKR Z-PAd
Wireless Multi-Effect Processor with Contactless Gesture Control.BKR ZPad is a VST3/AU audio effect plugin with a companion Android app that uses your phone's camera to control its own built-in DSP engine through natural hand movements. Rather than controlling your DAW or external plugins, ZPad's optical tracking system directly manipulates the parameters of its eight integrated effects—including filters, tremolo, pitch shifter, stereo panner, phaser, ring modulator and beat slicer—using X and Y hand position, while hand distance (Z-axis) controls output level. Connected over a local Wi-Fi network, all image processing runs locally on the phone, providing smooth, low-latency performance without external controllers, sensors, cloud services or an internet connection.
