Has the iPad put electronic music back 5 years?

[mojomontana]

Contentious title i know but let me explain..

Back in the day before the ipad there were multiple teams of programmer bringing out the most innovative and brilliant VST/i on mass, it seem a week didn't go by without an announcement or release of a new synth or effect. Then bam the ipad comes out and virtualy every company switched tack and started programming for it, obviously this is because its like a sacred golden cow that can pour money milk out of the bovine zombie hords like no other device can. But my problem is the new programs coming out for it are not very innovative apart from the touch screenness, just remakes of rubbish old synths and really lame daws. In comparison to the likes of Arturia Moog, Massive, sub boom bass etc they're a joke.

My biggest beef is with amplitube who we're on the cutting edge of their game and we're just about to release a comprehensive foot pedal for amplitube (the best amp sim imho) then ipad, then sack the controller off and make everything for the ipad and bring out a little plastic toy foot controller for the ipad

But many other software companies have taken this approach too.

Now i'm not total backwards and stuck in the past and i can see in a few years they could be amazing with a bit of inovation but now it seems we've take a large step back.

What say you?

I suspect you're confusing one market with another.

I cannot understand all these iPad-euphoria, I can live without. I don't need to make music everywhere. I can still walk, wait, relax and drive around without making or listening to music.

I'm not a fan of touch screens, either. Because they are getting dirty pretty fast when everybody is touching them.

[vurt]

no.

[robogone]

As far as I know, everyone has a choice between various platforms and we're not obliged to go the iPad route...

[gamecat666]

No

nice trolling though

vastly exaggerated.

far from the truth.

because no company could ever have different teams working on different projects.

But many other software companies have taken this approach too.

but vastly more haven't.

What say you?

your theory is cock.

What's an ipad? Some sort of sanitary towel?

[Loki Fuego]

I'd say it sucks, man. But the truth is I don't care. I have everything I need to make music and I am not interested in buying new stuff every week.

Don't confuse it with iPots. iPots can be used to make music even in the toilet... Because if you're sitting on the toilet without making music, you've wasted 5 minutes of your life...

[wakax]

nop.
no no.

[Mushy Mushy]

I'm yet to hear something good come out of one though.
Average maybe. Good far from.

And trust me I do wish to be proven wrong.

Sorry, just can't understand that argument?

To compare: When the c64 was released in the 80's, wasn't it competing with the IBM PC's. Of course c64 was mostly used for games, but some also used it for business tasks, databases, word processing etc.

So even though many of the iPad users just buy a synth to fool around with, I believe that some acutally also use it in music production.

We really need a standard smiley for this...

How you gonna even be able to participate in an argument, if you can't cut and paste the other arguments into pieces and glue 'em back the way you want to twist the OP's message to your advantage ?
