Nord Sample editor and iPad Pro

[Ministerofgroove]

Simple question, but will the sample editor and other Nord electro software work with an iPad pro?

Hi,

there are versions for Windows and Mac OSX. An iPad pro requests iOS apps, doesn't it?

Short answer: Don't think so.

[Ministerofgroove]

Yeah I think your right. The Nord site said what you did, that it supports Windows and Mac OSx. I just wasn't sure if iOS was a completely different operating system from OSx

[baekgaard]

Even shorter answer: No.

Unfortunately not, some would add...

MacOS and iOS are very different, yes.

As more and more musicians tend to use i-pads and i-phones for their music, this a good future upgrade for nord products, don't you think so?

Given that development for macOS and iOS simultaneously is being made the default by Apple — especially once their Mac line moves from Intel to ARM processors over the next two years — I think it's a given that there will be an iOS version of the main Nord apps eventually.

Keep in mind, though, that Clavia is a tiny company and doesn't have a lot of manpower (something like 35 people vs. 15,000 for Yamaha).

No it doesn't.

Yes indeed, but is it realy a matter of manpower to make their software compatible with other OS? I guess that with just an extra programmer the job could be done. It seems like a matter of agreements between companies IMO.

Oh yes it is a matter of manpower. Not everybody can write software to a commercial standard. How much is "just an extra programmer" for a company of that size?
It might be that until it does not influence the sales, there is no incentive to increase the costs and further hassle (it is not just writing it once, but maintain it longer term as well).
