Thanks for the input Paul and extended response Brian. In my case, I very specifically want a song writing tool - a sequencer to trigger my MIDI gear to fire ... and I've not been happy with the iPad offerings as of late. I'd eventually like to be able to control other synths on say, the iPad ... but that isn't my primary goal.
I was a keyboard musician in a past life and have always wanted to create my own version of an MPC meets Ableton Live sequencer so looking forward to getting my head around this!
