It’s good it has iPad guts!
Now only if they can intergrate audiobus into this…
i am waiting for a dock with sysex/midi out and multi ins. no luck this year.
The dock they announced a year ago is still “coming soon”!
It disappeared off of their site some months ago. Where do you still see it “coming soon”?
They just reannounced it at NAMM13- links here seem to have to undergo moderationand take a long time to show up, so just find it on their site under “computer audio interfaces”. It looks identical to the one they announced Jan of 2012.
Is it actually docked/plugged in, or does it just float there? I see at least a 1/2″ on either side, and nothing plugged in. Also, what’s with the curved shape? Looks ugly to me.
I sympathize with Behringer….. with the increasing pissing about with connectors, displays, processors et al & secretive new model releases from Apple, by the time anyone develops any new IOS hardware its probably obsolete !
