Any ideas about this? I know there's an iPhone app in the works to control a Mac Mini remotely. Any thoughts about running EigenD on the iPad and have a 30 pin connector to plug the Eigenharp in?
The device might be powerful enough.

Nice dream, but definitely bigger fish to fry with eigenD at the moment.Any ideas about this? I know there's an iPhone app in the works to control a Mac Mini remotely. Any thoughts about running EigenD on the iPad and have a 30 pin connector to plug the Eigenharp in?

Hi Geert
I seriously doubt that it is powerful enough. Audio DSP uses a lot of CPU, particularly for good sounds, and the iPad looks rather weedy. Perhaps in a few years....

Yeah, you're probably right. However, imagine when that will be possible, just bring your Eigenharp and an iPad to a gig. Awesomeness galore! :-)
It would be nice if it would work, but EigenD needs a dual-core intel machine or above. The processor in the iPad I believe is the same (if not similar) to the current iPhone. Hopefully apple will release a dual-core tablet machine based upon its macbook series one day :)
I Agree with John ... The processor that comes in the Ipad is still a mistery but I guess the power needed to use the iPad seriously as a musical instrument capable of producing sound by itself at this moment is not available ... however I guess the best use for the Ipad will be to install touchOSC and have a quite price friendly Jazzmutant Lemur.
Lets face it, 499 US Dollars is not a bargain but at the same time is not expensive... time will tell...
To me this opens a very interesting possibility for future macbooks (multitouch screens) just imagine having a normal unibody (like the actual ones) and detaching the screen that will act as an iPad, that I will buy for sure!!!
At the moment there is nothing but the size compared to my iPhone.
cheers guys...
