Damn, I think Tim passed on the iPad virus to me last night. I can see that an iPad could do the job I wanted from the Octatrack in terms of live backing, assuming I can get it synced to Cirklon. Loved "Brushes" and that little robot theramin thing. Would like to see some kind of DAW/Sync happen before I shell out but realistically I can see myself finding lots of uses for that little mother...

Cheaper than an Octatrack too.
