Topic: One step closer to Pianoteq on iOS???
Apple has stated that properly developed iOS apps will be supported in macOS Big Sur. (click here to see).

Yep - I like this development with Apple. As a long time Windows user, I'm starting to feel an itch.....

Now if there WERE an iOS version of pianoteq ....
Now Moddart HAS to port to "Apple OS" ARM anyway.
There are two use cases that people may have in mind when clamoring for Pianoteq on iPad, like I used to.
They want Pianoteq on a powerful mobile device that is portable and easy to use. They don't mind plugging in cables and hubs into the iPad as will undoubtedly be necessary for this to actually work.
They want Pianoteq to "just work" with a decent touch screen interface on the iPad -- completely wireless.
I discovered that case 2 is basically solved and I realized that I don't really want case 1 at all, because sticking in cables and hubs to my iPad is not actually very appealing or convenient for use at home:
Pianoteq 7 on Raspberry Pi 400 -- with iPad as interface!
This could get better with some investment.

Well, if it brings back support for Hypercard, I would be interested.

Man, I loved HyperCard. We even used it at Harvard Ed School.
As for Pianoteq iOS, I’m wondering about the pricing issue. New Macs will natively run iOS apps, so who would still get the Mac version if Pianoteq for iOS is much cheaper, as those apps always seem to be.

Very nice setup you have there. I kind of agree with you on some points, but for many people an iPad is their only computing device, especially for private use. I could see an iPad as a very convenient solution for Pianoteq for those with more recent Yamaha DP:s that have USB-audio. And I would guess that other companies may introduce that kind of solution too in the future.
