I am thinking of getting an ipad just for music making apps on the go, but if they are mostly "toys" than that wont work for me.
Anyone have any experience with this?

more details, what do you know already, are u using midi, etc
- big-papes0
I use mostly pro tools and an MPC, I am just starting to learn Maschine. Use a midi keyboard with pro tools.

if you're already calling it a toy and you think you might be using a daw, then you're prob better off with a laptop, an mbox with pro tools, maschine and a small keyboard midi controller. or a similar setup. pack it all up in your herschel bag. go to the forest.
- well you answered while i was typing this, sounds like u r already set up.prophetone

I guess I was thinking it could be good to work on synth or sequencing stuff easily say on the subway or a plane. Just not sure if I would be able to use any of it for real. I think you can export high quality sound files?

i haven't messed with midi on the ipad yet although i'm eyeballing the Line 6 Midi Mobilizer. most audio apps will export 16 bit 44.1 wav files.
like the korg ims-20 for instance...

the korg ims-20 is dope.. not sold on the electribe, but i didnt like them as hardware, so i dont know why i would as software..
garageband is kinda fun, but yep, only for just sketching things when i couldnt be fucked actually working int he studio..

I read somewhere its possible to hook up midi through the camera attachment usb. true?
- prophetone0
- ok, not exactly yes. the camera attachment requires a midi interface that's compatible, require zilch powerprophetone
- the line 6 unit appears to be the best optionprophetone

i like this thread. the DM1 looks proper

21 iPad Compatible MIDI Devices
While Apple has not hyped MIDI in iOS 4.2, class-compliant USB MIDI devices are expected to work, if they are low-power or self-powered, when connected to using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.

seems like right out of the box they are the ultimate sketching, building, and playing tool. and especially a good performance option. They can be a virtual table, fire serato and ableton...I have a friend who performs with one and it's pretty cool to see the freedom it gives him

James KILLING IT with his signature 2x CDJ2000s, 1x DJM900, 1x iPad, 1x MacBook running Abelton Live (off to his left), 1x Korg NanoPad (black hand-held bar), 1x Korg KAOssilator (the yellow box off to his right), & 1x EFX1000. James was probably running the NanoPad, KAOssilator & iPad set up as control surfaces in Abelton Live on the MacBook.

Does anyone know if there are apps that you can import and use your own samples? I think i would get sick of the built in sounds very quickly
- i hear ya. i think you're options are limited to none. the DM1 would be a good one if it did.prophetone
- i think beatmaker support sample import...

Does anyone know if there are forums that you can visit and ask your own music questions? I think i would get sick of the designers answers very quickly
