While the iPad is certainly not the multitouch on the market, it definitely brings a lot of potential to the music market--and we're not just talking iTunes. As the market grows, I'm sure we will see a lot of creative apps that help take artists to the next level.
The iPad is still fairly new, so there's not lot out there at the moment, but here are a few iPad apps to look forward to that will make your inner musician happy.
First up are two apps from : Synth and StudioTrack.
Synth ($1; ) is a polyphonic synthesizer based on a MIDI keyboard. The application is modeled after the typical MIDI keyboard controller, and it comes with over 40 built-in instruments, five control knobs, a modulation wheel, and the ability to choose between five octaves using the octave buttons. There is also a "sample record" button, which allows you to sample sounds using the iPad's built-in mic.
