Yo!
I've been wanting a Lemur since the day I saw it and now with the iPad it feels like I can have it for a fraction of the cost. I saw the (midiPad) app which looks pretty awesome to me - so now with my gf paying a short visit to the states, should I ask her to bring one home?
I know there's the age-old debate of touch vs real buttons and how there's always gonna be a certain amount of delay between input and reaction but that's not a big issue for me - it's gonna be mostly for launching clips and controlling FX so no drumming, scratching or anything else that needs precise timing.
I've been looking at the Launchpad but if my Live Set is filled up with clips I don't get any overview anyway so a touch screen that lets me see what I'm actually triggering is juice as HELL. Plus all the bonus views - DJ view, effects view, studio view and keys view - make it soooo versatile.
OK so first- thoughts on the iPad as an Ableton controller?
And second- thoughts on buying it from the states as opposed to waiting for it to come here in june or july at 130% of the price ? Region differences, jailbreak etc gonna be an issue?
