Making music with the iPad is definitely going to be a fun experience. It possesses all the elements of an effective music platform, but there are, of course, a few caveats that you should be aware of.
Let’s delve into it. Will the iPad receive some of the main music creation features ported over to it? That would be the best news for beat makers and producers, right? Propellerheads, the creators of Reason (the highly successful music platform for Mac/PC), have left the door wide open for a Reason-like system on the iPad. Controller applications are already inevitable for Apple’s latest offering, and companies like Novation and Steinberg have developed apps for the iPhone and iPod touch to control computer programs, such as moving faders and twisting knobs. However, no full-fledged software has made its way onto these mobile devices just yet.

Let’s examine a few ways in which the iPad surpasses the currently available netbooks, as well as some potential challenges and concerns for music producers.
Netbooks typically run on standard operating systems like Windows XP and Vista. Some modified versions may even feature fully functional Mac OS, such as Leopard and Snow Leopard. In contrast, the iPad will have a less versatile operating system, resulting in fewer capabilities overall. However, these limitations are said to encourage developers like Propellerheads to think outside the box and create something more streamlined than their current full-OS offering, Reason 4.0.
