What about on the hardware side? We're really waiting for the Alesis IO Dock and the iPad compatible Guitar Jack. We need a way to get better audio into the iPad.
A bit offtopic here but I'm a bit disappointed at NanoStudio not talking about plans for the iPad. It makes so much sense for music apps I've just stopped using the iPhone for music creation, but who knows, maybe it's where the money is right now.
I just made two complete tracks on NS using a 3GS. Sure, I'd like an iPad but I don't even have a iPhone 4. I don't understand people who have given up making music on the iPhone. All the time you spend waiting and complaining can be used for solution finding and creating. I think the recording and quantizing functions in Thumbjam are ass but instead of nagging Jesse, I either don't use it or find ways around it until the dev gives us a permanent solution.
@Jayby84 I'm totally with you, I used to make all my experiments on the iPhone and all was fine but now with the iPad everything makes so much sense I've actually got ten times the number of projects going on. It's not that the iPhone is bad if that's all you have, it's that the iPad makes a lot more sense for music creation if you can choose between both environments.
more ot ipad vs pod/phone @Jaybry84: sure, if i wouldn't have different tools i would be using the phone, too; but the display is just to small for anything, you've got to surf through x taps to go where you want, its just no fun & uncomfortable. i can mess around with 1 idea for days, but i'll have to get the basic idea down in 20 minutes, otherwise im bored & frustrated and stop making music & forget about the idea... (yes i bought NS, but i never use it on the ipad, but i made 50 tracks in isequence since last summer, now i only have to choose the good ones...)
+1 on the Alesis IO dock, or I may go for the Akai Synthstation 49 in June.
I also like that NS still runs on an iPhone3. I assume there's more early adopters here with many iDevices? Might as well put them to use. Sadly, my iPhone2 firmware will never support Coremidi, but I think NS will even run on that.
Use what you got. I like to use my iPad. I only use my iPhone 3GS for Moog Filtaron. I will be totally honest here: I don't use iPhone apps on my iPad.
16 Pads Makes so much more sense on the iPad Screen. Y'all know i'm a 16 Pad Freak, just look @ my Avatar.
I expected NS iPad Res in Jan 2011 I only bought BM2 because it promised iPad Res.
So I ended up Mastering the Electrify App, even though it's buggy and crashes on my. I still rather use that.
Actually what I really want doesn't seem to exist. I'm looking for an iPad/iPhone/Tablet stand that attaches to a keyboard (MIDI or QWERTY). Something that maybe hooks under the keyboard and holds the portable device at a configurable angle.
I've bought a few bits and pieces and may try to hack something together.
@beat: wow, you really use electrify as workhorse? i really tried to like it, but when i'm @ a point when i think now the track starts getting interesting it crashes on me, lol. So I gave up with it.
Electrify has just got an update which mentions bug fixes regarding crashes....whether this would fix the problem you're experiencing or not is another question!
I can't see why you'd want to run an app that's buggy and crashes but has native iPad resolution over an app which is stable but looks a bit blurry (if we're talking about making music anyway).
Sure, NanoStudio would be better if it was iPad native but I'd choose stability out of the two if I had to.
some apps being worked on according to devs loopseque mini dopplerpad audioforge hexatone (or was it phone? the drum one) and J. Rudess is being updated

I want a version of Max MSP on iPad
