You mean, is the next album by Dream Theater going to feature Rudess
playing on iPad which he already does? Quite likely, yes.
Oh, and he uses Haken Audio Continuum in live perfomances too. That
must be such an abomination :)
Indeed! Unthinkable abomination -- how dares this traitor to play
anything, that is not in the book of good and standard instruments for
rockbands?! This is an outrage!
Very well then, I hope, I get Harrys intention correctly if I think, he
refers to presetted sequences and the like. This is a point as long, as
the presets cannot be made by the user him/herself.
On the other hand: there are no restrictions for using anything, that
makes a noise to play music.
I saw Nick Cave playing a 20.000 Euro piano combined with a 10 Euro
toy-keyboard that accompanied his piano with some preset-drumbeat taken
with a vocals-mic from its very own speakers.
And it was beautiful. It worked, most probably it was better and more
interesting as it would have been if a real drummer would have played
the beat on a vintage Ludwig.
Software-instruments played on a pad-device may not be in the same
league as guitars regarding opportunities for expression but there are
many instruments that cannot rival a guitar or a Moog. And nobody would
say: uuhhh that trumpet cannot play power-chords, not a real instrument!
