Hi folks, invested in an iPad 9th gen a few months back and love it. I know this will have been asked before but I just want to add my request for biab for iPad. Hope everyone’s keeping well ?

+1 also.
Not sure how different the code base would be to Mac, so it might be reasonably achievable.

Sure, this would be nice, but I have to wonder about two things: how would the performance be (I’m guessing terribly slow) and would it support RealTracks (I’m guessing they would require too much space). Perhaps a MIDI-only version to use as an idea scratch pad would be good?

No question that storage would be an issue. External storage might be a workaround?

It'd be interesting to hear comments from Peter or Andrew

Agreed. It would be great to get a comment from the development team on the feasibility, issues, prospects.

It's quite possible that a feasibility study alone is a significant task.

Embarcaderdo say "One Codebase For Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux", but we also know that the Mac version of BiaB doesn't offer everything the Windows version does and there's no Linux version, so "One codebase" would appear to be overstating the reality.

Even if I’m correct that an iPad is underpowered, it won’t always be so. Doesn’t BIAB work now on a Surface, or is it a Chromebook? Something like that. The tech should catch up someday.

I believe some of the new iPads already use an M1 CPU, so it probably already has the power.

M1 chip? I didn’t know that. Thanks. I’ll take a look at the new iPads.

I've had BiaB running on a Windows Surface Pro, which might be seen as a 'comparable equivalent' of an iPad.

I would sell my soul to the evil itself for having BIAB on IOS

That'd be awesome!

I thought I would need a lot of space for sound samples when I got the iPad Pro 2nd gen 5 years ago, and I have only used 1/4 of 256 GB.

I can fit the UltraPAK+ there right now.

Now there are plenty of good synths, pianos, wind instruments, and even real good old samples that don't need so much space as before, even more with Modeled instruments, as the new iPads have a lot of processing power, and mine is still a beast.

There's a lot of people doing amazing jobs on iPad with apps like Audio Bus for mixing different in-App or external sources.

I got a Yamaha PSR just to have fun sometimes with accompaniments and to avoid the computer, but nothing compared to BiaB.

Using Band-in-a-Box with as many features as possible in a small iPad would be a dream, be it either with a full sized keyboard, a 37 key CME using BLE, or even 1 or 2 ROLI 24-key Seaboard also with Bluetooth Low Energy (Low Latency included). Touchscreen for chords. Amazing.

There's an absolute hole in the so many existing Audio Apps for iPad for playable accompaniment.

That would probably also make developers more prone to enhance the Mac version to support Native Silicon development instead of Rosetta.

+2 +3 ;-)

Thar she blows:

Can’t say I really see the point of such a client/server version, though, and the iOS app doesn’t recognize my Mac as a server and so is useless to me.
