The primary reason for this may not be that Apple does not want you to do it but it is probably the hardware and software that powers this feature is probably not robust enough to handle that creative potential. In short this is a substandard piece you are buying.
I will be surprised if someone does not hack and if apple does not provide a proper API support to modify and have fun with this feature.
- matt4077 10y agoWell they showed a dj using it to control a synthesizer during the keynote, so I think (in short) that was a substandard comment I was reading.
- tn13 10y agoWhat do you think is the delta between orchestrated demo v/s real usability of a particular feature ?
- matt4077 10y agoWell he was using it. I'm quite sure they didn't fake it. I'm absolutely sure I couldn't do it. I'm also remain very certain that Apple is not trying to discourage people from using this thing because it only has a life span of whatever hours of active use. How I know it? Because they have been selling touchscreens for ten years now, under much stronger constraints, without any such shenanigans. And also because it is an incredibly stupid theory.
