What’s the latest recommendation on a tablet or iPad that folks like?

I think it would depend on what you want to use it for, but I recommend this:

Fore sure the I-Pad , there are several Apps for Yamaha and other brands who works great .

Anything that does not require Apple or Microsoft! LOL!

If you want to do anything music related other then sheetmusic reading..
An apple ipad is your ownly option..

All programs i use never where released for android, and therenis not really much of that professional level
Next to that android has latency problems for realtime music making..

Cubasis
Beatmaker 3
korg gadget
Garageband
Reason
Impc
Audiobus3
Etc, etc.. only available at ipad..


Also many Apps for edditing Roland and Yamaha onstruments are ipad only..



Ipad also has a standard (AU units) for plugin instruments..
And as said realtime processing..
The ipad is a pro tool.. rivalising the latest windows pc/tablets

Apple has learned from the past’where it lost to microsoft 3 decades ago because of software availabillity
Thats where they rule now... professional music apps are mostly ipad only
For several reasons.. stabillity... development set.. generic hardware... anti piracy on ios.



Android is mostly found in low end tablets which are nothing more then meant to play an mp3, watch netflix or browse the web
Or, read sheet music..


There is a reason ipad currently makes 80% of all tablet sales..
Android is mostly concentrating on mobile phones..

IMO for a live gigging KB pro player nothing beats a good
TOTL Windows Laptop, ....
Especially for searching files, songs etc,!
For my needs much more flexibility on stage in so many ways tablets are a hindrance for me

I’m with Donny. A Windows based laptop or Surface Pro tablet will give you the most flexibility for decent recording software.

The iPad is really (which I have two of) a toy by comparison. Don’t get me wrong...I like the iPad, but it’s not designed for serious recording, if that’s what you want to accomplish.

Here is an example of a nice church organ including pistons on the ipad



Just one of many high end instruments available for a few dollar on the ipad..

Here’s my 2 cents. I’m with TonyMads the Pro12 Tablet dollar for dollar is what I think is a great tool. I also use an iPad with unReal book and Songbook. the downside of the iPad is the price tag but it is a quality device.

Guitpic1 since you use a Genos you’ll find that the Songbook app(at this time only available for the iPad) can be programmed to pull up lead sheets from registrations and your lead sheet can allso be programmed to pull up the matching registration on the Genos. Note. The Songbook app is not to be confused with the Songbook built into the Korg PA series they are 2 different programs/features.

And today using the Mobile Sheets Pro app that I use for my music sheets, I backed up my Pro 12 with a second Pro 12 and linked them as Server/Client. Any changes or additions I make to Mobile Sheets Pro on the Server will automatically be updated to the Client ... Great tool ...
