Can I Install Propellerhead's Reason And/Or Ableton Live directly to an iPad

I am a professional musician & am very interested in buying the new iPad to run "Reason" and "Live" straight from it. I dont want to use the iPad as awireless rekote to my laptop, my laptop is too old to even run those programs.

But if I can know for sure whether or not I can install these music production programs directly to a pad and start programming on the go.

If I can, I'm sold!!

PLEASE HELP! :-)

Thanks so much!

No you cannot. You cannot run software on the iPad that has been written for either Mac OSX or Windows.

The first comment says it all. There is no cursor on the iPad, and it is clearly visible.

That's not running it on an iPad. That's just screen sharing with it running on a Mac - something the OP specifically said he didn't want to do if you had bothered to read the post properly.

as already noted, ableton live will not run on an ipad.

ableton may release an ios app, but it won't be anywhere near as complex. this will not change any time soon.

the person with the youtube video is faking it, very clearly.

the info you need is on the ableton site, also very clearly.

Intel® Mac with Mac OS X 10.5 or later, or PC with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8; Multicore processor; 2 GB RAM; 1024x768 display; DVD drive or broadband internet connection for installation.
