Yes! Same feelings here...
Beat Maker was a huge waste of 20 bux IMO... sure some talented people made some good songs, but it was just not that interesting... maybe they have added more samples, I got it for my 1G touch like in 08...
Im not a big fan of Ableton Live, if you can't plug it into Logic than I am not interested, I know that 'some live musicians rely on it for their sets' etc..

makes Logic though, so you know they could make a badass controller! Thats what I'm really hoping for.. Im wondering how the iPad will handle the the difference between hardware synths and software synths (hardware synths are said to be the best of the best sound wise).
Really can't wait to pick up a midi controller for my guitar and plug it into my iPad!
edit: Keep in mind there is no multi-tasking, ALTHOUGH I thought I was reading some rumor about the iPad having multi-tasking...
Im hoping that someone will be smart enough to put out a Kaoss Pad app around launch..
