Is it released yet? Been waiting to check it out, release got delayed a month ago or so. It's got midi in/out, two mic jacks w/phantom, and a 1/4" headphone jack iirc. Very cool.

Do you work for them or do you just spam random stuff?

this would be random spam, he works for himself.

No actually I got an e-mail from BSW about and thought it might be something the guys around here might find useful, I do realize this is a video forum, but video without audio is well, boring.

But I do thank you for being such on-the-top forum cop...

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

BSW is stocking it.

I would post another link but don't want to get the cuffs slapped on.

lol. Don't own an ipad but I could see this being a very useful tool (the ipad has a ton of useful apps, hell my pod touch is loaded with apps i use every day to speed production). GarageBand on ipad is supposedly pretty slick, too, with multitrack recording and all.

That actually looks pretty awesome to me. Makes me wish I had two ipads. One for that, and one for the Akai Sythstation 49

I was on a shoot two weeks ago where they used an iPad to slate and it was pretty awesome. Now it can do this too? Makes me want one even more =p

Yea theres a TON of things one can do with an iPad! Most of them are gimicky, but theres SO MANY gimicky ones that I want it! I have just never been able to justify the $500+ price tag when there are soo many other things I can use so much more that arent gimicky for the money.
