anything you haven't been able to do on a consumer grade PC for the better part of a decade already.
Just at a much lower cost on the iPad. The PC software packages for soft synths are often hundreds of dollars. Dedicated hardware can set you back thousands. I've spend maybe $100 on iPad music software and have more to show for it.
- cageface 14y agoThat's true but I don't know how long this can last. Developing a quality iPad music app takes just as much time as it does to develop a good VST and from what I can tell the sales volumes aren't high enough to compensate for prices that are about 1/10th of the VST market. I think you're going to see a lot more apps like Figure and a lot fewer serious instruments unless people get used to payer higher prices for apps.

- cageface 14y agoSales of my own apps suggest otherwise. From what I can tell the market for non-toy music apps is no larger than it is on the desktop and may actually be smaller. I get far more searches for the VST port of my iPad synth than I do for the iPad app itself, for example.
