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. :/
