I'd sell you all to the Gypsies for this new iPad accessory

Post by LoopStationZebra » Thu Jan 13, 2011 8:51 pm

Oh, these are the days of wine and roses indeed for my fellow iPad music app aficionados. This was just announced today:

Alesis StudioDock

It's got MIDI 5pin and USB and footswitch jack and XLR (!) and 1/4 jacks and God Knows What Else.

*weeping at this point*

I cannot buy one of these fast enough.

:x


tnx to gjm for the heads up on this. :P

I DON'T CARE. THE IPAD IS STILL JUST A TOY ON PAR WITH THE AIR FORCES' F-22 RAPTOR FIGHTER JET. NOTHING ON THERE I COULDN'T PULL OFF WITH JUST A SLINGSHOT AND SOME MARBLES!! :x :x

Rounding out the StudioDock’s output section is a composite video connector, enabling users to employ the StudioDock as a source for video projection behind bands on stage
Multi tasking Audio and Video apps. (I know I said it in the other thread, but I LOVE this idea).

I'd guess that it's just the same as the current iPad video out cable. Meaning that apps still have to support video out (mirroring of the whole screen isn't a given). But, that Apple cable is too flimsy for live use without loads of duct tape, so that dock would be a great improvement...

Hehe... i do not have an iPad so I have no idea what people are doing with video... I am in a severe state of gear lust though.

What will happen? We will use the old iPad as an effects rack and use the new one as a Live controller right next to it.
