Look at the electric practice piano, who’s sound is now in every basic sound pack ever made, it was a “toy” until a blind guy made some smokin tunes on one (superstitious), was he wrong for that? To say using the iPad is a good “all in one” device for anything other than idea sketching, is a bit of a stretch, but because some guy thinks this doesn’t mean it isn’t possible and a worthy use. I think the keys in just about every synth app (except Animoog) are hoky and worthless but the synths them selves are awesome (addictive synth, NLogPro, GrainScience, ect.) so plugin an audio cable hook up a wireless midi network and rock the F out. With all the midi availability within synth apps, I see the iPad more like the Receptor VST host with a great way to interact with my editors. As I stated when the new Waldorf app was announced, I don’t use the iPad as an “all in one” music making machine, to expect that from a hand held device is just crazy. This is why I find it to be a useful synth host, sound editor. What do you think about the state of iOS music making? Is it ‘a bag of hurt’ – or is it time for mobile musicians to put up or shut up? How much music making can you do on anything else that you carry around all the time? If you want a mobile workstation DAW, you’re better off taking your laptop.īut musicians that only compare iOS as a music platform against powerful desktop computers are missing the big picture: a few years ago, your phone could do squat and tablet computers were bulky, niche products. Kuhn’s comparison might be a little harsh, but is basically accurate.
