If Pianoteq was on the iPad there is also a program for the iPhone to act as a page turner just by shaking it like on your knee/other. Changes pages in the iPad by other means graphical also.

In other words, you can use the iPhone to turn pages like music on the iPad.

Having said the above, there is rumor that Apple is releasing early the iPad 3 version in September that will probably have the horsepower to run Pianoteq. Probably not until then will there be any consideration as my dual core 1.5 just about runs it satisfactorily.

Oh... my... God!!! I would buy an iPad 2 just to use Pianoteq! I would actually prefer an iPad app vs the desktop app I'm using. I currently have a few feet of midi cable running between my Yamaha P 85 and iMac, so changing settings while I'm playing can be a bit of a pain... and a notebook wouldn't sit nicely on top of my piano, while an iPad would sit perfectly on the music rest (not to mention, it would look mighty cool). I could even buy one of those snazzy iPad mounts so it could float off to the side.

I hope to God that Pianoteq is working on this right now. PLEASE!

I have been using the Dell Duo dual core netbook/tablet hybrid for Pianoteq with Windows 7 (big improvement on Vista from an OSX-user point of view) in lieu of my Macbook to try it. Maybe I am losing it but it sounds pretty good to me. The Dell Duo has no trouble with the internal bandwidth at 29,400 out at 41,100 including extremely fast double hand chord rundowns it does not choke. Poly, I set at 64 with 96 (smallest) buffer. Have not tried more poly with this where I might get a little more but I do not think much more if possible. I am actually running it using ASIO4All and closing the lid after flipping the LCD to go to a tablet mode. Worked instantly and has no issues. I am using a weighted, 88 USB midi controller. I can read music/glances/cues in low profile if I want on the tablet that is nice and flat on top of the instrument. The screen flipped over in the tablet mode is capacitive so you can just use your finger.

Actually using the on-board sound. Later I will try a USB sound card.

Unfortunately I have now learned, that it is not compatible with Apple's own MIDI interface standard coreMIDI, so Garageband will probably not work with the MIDI Mobilizer. Some of the other offerings looks more promising.

There does not seem to be many MIDI interfaces for the Android phones, maybe it is because the Android phones have such a diverse set of hardware and software specs ?

Also, I would not use an iPad/iPhone as a Midi controller for another musical instrument. What I want is to use the iPad as the musical instrument, and control that from a simple Midi controller keyboard. This is what I use the Midi Mobilizer for, at the moment, with my iPhone.

It would be good to display sheet music and control pianoteq via the ipad, but I can't see the point with using the touch screen for actually playing pianoteq directly. If I wanted to play midi piano without velocity sensitivity I'd be content with any number of better-sounding patch-based synthesis. Velocity sensitivity is where pianoteq shines, so using the ipad's touch screen to hit notes seems ...frankly, idiotic to me. Definitely a step back into the stone age, controller-wise. Personally I use an old LCD monitor and a 5 dollar VGA cable extender under my carpet and I can just use my legs to walk over to my piano, rather than plugging a wire into a portable device. Not including a USB port is just so idiotic.

It seems almost possible, but there's no usb connection except for charging, as far as I tell, so there's no way to connect a midi device? (And I guess you can't print from it or load external files onto it, unless they're apps just designed for the device.)

Well the iPad 2 has been anounced, dual core 1GHz processor so I would think it's fast enough to run Pianoteq, plus Garageband has been announced for iPad too.

I bet that if this idea get realise, you will find a japanese in the largest piano store of Japan, playing in this iPod.

Korg have produced a synth app for the iPad that can be controlled from a midi keyboard via the Camera connection kit.

No, I'm envisioning using the iPad as a host instead of hauling my MacBook Pro around. I am always concerned of it (MBP) falling down, getting damaged, all kinds of bad things. Other than that, a full-blown computer like a MBP is overkill of sorts if you just want to play piano.

It would be too cool to use an iPad for PTQ and besides that for sheet music. With that possible, I would not hesitate much.

It looks as though a lot of people on other sites are considering using the iPad for a controller, instead of as the host for a vst-type of instrument. The iPad would sit on the keyboard, I guess. I think I'd rather use a Wacom tablet or just one of the Behringer cc controllers and a monitor--wouldn't you be looking at the slider move in the application instead of just seeing it move under your finger? And $400 seems steep for a controller...
