Can an iPad run Live?
After all, they are probably running some Linux distro in the Push 3 so they had to invest in that anyway.
It's a lot of work though. And the pay sucks, especially on iPad/iOS where Apple refuses to let you make a profit without letting them take a bite. On MacOS it's a sustainable practice, but unless Apple changes something architecturally I wouldn't anticipate Live coming to iOS anytime soon. At least any sooner than Linux support, which is apparently(?) finished internally.
By the grace of the flying spaghetti monster, please let this be true... Ableton is the last program stopping me from leaving Windows behind.
And it wouldn't have pads, dedicated dials, MIDI, inputs and outputs, MPE, and everything else. It would be just a big screen with a iPad-like touch UI. So nothing like this.
For musicians (professional or semi-pro) that use Logic on a laptop the feature parity is nowhere there. They depend on tens of AUs ("VSTs") that aren't available on the iPad for example, on top of lots of other stuff.
Biggest issue on iPad is lack of device drivers. Class Compliant audio only gets you so far.
Of course ableton comes with a pretty good array of instruments and effects, so maybe this isn’t that big a deal.
But the context in this subthread was addressing the parent's claim that Logic on iPadOS has complete parity with Logic macOS and can replace it in its use - not Push.
