It’s 2022 and still no mainstage for iOS

When will anyone at Apple cop on? Working players do not want to bring their dainty laptops to the jobs. They’re stuck with the rigidity of high ticket hokey dated rompler hardware. They sound great if you’re playing waltzes at a wedding but cmon.


we ALL need : au mainstage quality instruments available for iOS. iPPs have enough power and space if you’re willing to spend for it to do the job. Some have more room than my drives do at home! ffs!!! Some manufacturers are designing their instruments for pad and they’re great.


What else is there? Design a shock proof case that houses a controller keyboard and mount a Mac mini inside with a screen and fans and some faders like Open Labs did? I….don’t…reeeealy wanna do that thank YOU.


I’d pay DAMM GOOD MONEY for an iPad playing AU instruments . You listening Apple??

AUM and Camelot are both the closest to MainStage on iPadOS….but they’re still so different to MainStage that they’re not even remotely in the same league when considering the vast scope of MainStage’s feature set.


The latest iPad Pro M1 models may have equivalent processing power and storage as some MacBook models, but the audio hardware and iPadOS still don’t really compare to Macs. You’ve just gotta see the latency figures in AUM and similar apps to realise this. I don’t think we’re gonna see MainStage for iPadOS anytime soon. Logic maybe, but I’d be surprised (and very pleasantly surprised) to see MainStage on iPad.
