They make good head units too.

I guess what OP was trying to say is that their application as creative tools (production vs consumption) is far more limited than the full fledged PC systems that we are used to.

In my experience that has more to do with the artificial limitations devs put into ipad software. Take MPC drum machines for example. iMPC Pro 2 could replace all hardware MPCs if they wanted to but they would cannibalize their hardware if they did that so they made the ipad version a toy instead.

In absolutely no way is this the case. The iPads screen will always be a toy compared to proper AKAI pads. It’s not even velocity-sensitive.

Fair point but it's much further hamstrung than it needs to be and it would be easy to add velocity after the performance.

>> it would be easy to add velocity after

What? In no way, especially for drums.

Yeah, okay, no, that does not equate to getting the natural response I am putting out while playing. :/
