Obviously I meant replacing the computer part with an iPad, not the controller. > No one cares what CPU it has Good luck running a dozen instances of Diva if you don't care about the CPU :)

> Obviously I meant replacing the computer part with an iPad, not the controller. > Good luck running a dozen instances of Diva if you don't care about the CPU Good luck running...most plugins, u-he or otherwise, on an iPad. That said, the question of which plugins will/won't work running directly on the Push is an interesting question. It runs Linux, no? u-he is one of the few "big" plugin devs that supports Linux, but if I had to guess, the standalone Push 3 will run first-party Ableton plugins only.

  > Good luck running...most plugins, u-he or otherwise, on an iPad. Yeah that's a good point. OTOH all the U-He stuff is already ARM native for macOS. But my point about the iPad was more about comparing the cost. If Ableton had chosen to sell the computer part at a more reasonable price (say $300) I would't have even mentioned it.

    > Yeah that's a good point. OTOH all the U-He stuff is already ARM native for macOS. Right, the problem is not a technical one, it's an app ecosystem one. Urs has spoken about this at length on KVR. This IMO is a great reason for Ableton to have not gone the iPad route, because it's a problem that doesn't look like it'll be solved anytime soon.

That's the nice thing about this, you don't need a dozen instances of diva for a live set. If you're traveling and using this, you can freeze the tracks. Otherwise if you're at home you can plug in to your real computer and run as many instances of Diva at Divine quality as you want. But also this likely won't support Diva, probably just Operator, Analog, etc.
