I noticed that pushing down too hard with the Pencil causes distortion in one spot of my iPad's screen, presumably where a chip is just a little too close to the surface. So it's probably not a good idea to press (nearly) as hard as you could a Wacom stylus. As an aside, what kinds of visual synths have you worked on? I just added (basic) Pencil support to my iPad sequencer[1] and it works quite well! (With a few caveats[2]...)

Looks pretty cool. Will check it out. Oddly, I have an App that crashes only on the iPad Pro, so I cannot return the favor. :( Have you posted on stack overflow? I have a question, but that may be a better place to ask. Here's is my app, circa 2005: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlkzZubHnM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlkzZubHnM I used to VJ a lot. Here's the app in action at Thump Radio, circa 2001 (for a clear view, goto 0:40 sec): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W1jmovV5SM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W1jmovV5SM EDIT "only"

  Oh, I see! I didn't realize that "visual synths" were a thing — I thought there was a musical component to it. That's fascinating! Are you planning to release something like that for the iPad Pro? "Have you posted on stack overflow" — do you mean regarding my slow motion issue?

    >> "Have you posted on stack overflow" — do you mean regarding my slow motion issue? Yes. Was wondering if you tried capturing UITouches on a nil view to get global coordinates. Just a stab in the dark, since I'm fully occupied on an Apple Watch project. > Are you planning to release something like that for the iPad Pro? Short answer is Yes! I'm starting from the ground up by rewriting the underlying functional ontology, called Tr3, which will be open sourced under MIT license.
