Collaborating on a laggy, latency-ridden android with other people using laggy, latency-ridden androids sounds like absolute heaven.
I love my iPad for music stuff, But Sequences Stuff runs on Android without Problems. And as you only exchange the Sequence there should be no problem with latency. I wouldn’t trust my Android to play live Synths, but sequenced stuff is no Problem imho.
if only android had proper midi support…
