So, i got me an iPad and...

Well, finally i accepted my fate and bought myself an iPad. 64 Gb that i'm having a hard time to fill with stuff. I should probably have bought a 32 Gb version with 3G instead of only the wi Fi version. I bought mine second hand, apparently from a student who was more interested in the hard, cold cash, instead of Apple's new device.

Is it worth it? Well, you could do more stuff with a nice laptop and Reason. But on the other hand, it's pretty easy to operate and it's pretty portable and battery life is eternal. I used to carry with me a Roland PMA-5 to play with. It now rests in a shelf, disguised as a book. It's a nice machine, though, don't misunderstand me. The difference is that the iPad can be a thousand things instead. It can replace your Tenori On, your Lemur and your Korg Kaoss Pad.

There are some shortcomings, though. If you want to put samples inside, you have to use WiFi. There's no audio input, although the built in mic is pretty good.

Anyways, no more text, here are some videos of the musical apps for the iPad. Currently there are 938 musical applications in the App Store, and i'll just be reviewing the most relevant for me, in a completely random way.

All the audio was recorded separately, i later added the voiceover. Please excuse my wildly varying accent. It changes randomly, according to the last movie i saw.

Here's the Reactable App:



And here are some of my favourite apps.
