Apple’s iPad has revolutionised the way we all procrastinate, but the magic device isn’t all about catapulting miniature birds or blocking people’s views at gigs, the iPad, and especially the recent models, has become powerful enough to be considered a serious tool for music makers and producers…
Where the multi-touch device really excels is as a controller, offering flexible, customisable and portable solution for the studio and the stage.
