well anyone who thinks an iPad or any tablet can honestly replace and MPC, other than the 500, should just GIVE me their MPC and go buy a tablet. its like the differences between old hardware and new...no matter how hard you try, you will never get that old ORIGINAL sound without that old ORIGINAL equipement, but I will say, however, that the ability to use the tablets with our hardware is groundbreaking...just waiting for the android version of FL Studio
