Hardware and software need to be ported into iPadOS

Some thought on the impact of piggy-backing....
Apple clearly wants to have a large presence in healthcare. Their efforts in data privacy, biometrics collection from watch data are front and center in their goals.
And from the providers standpoint, tablets are a great form factor for many patient interactions.
The more frequent friction points that affect provider/patient interaction happen outside the operating room. The mundane tasks of patient intake and general record keeping can be huge obstacles to providing quality services to a large population.
Piggy-back benefit here might have more to do with improving how we manage our music data "intake and record keeping".
Hmmm... automatic and seamless carry thru of a sound/music assets "Date of birth"..... and "radiology charts" (a dynamic spectral signature)... and musically relevant "vitals"... key, BPM...

WHAT?? So, abandon 10+ years of MAS controller history, accumulated macOS users and leave them hanging in favor of a new standalone a crowd that so far does not seem very convinced M+ is some kind of endgame standalone? Are you under the impression that there are more M+ users then general macOS users? That would be outrageous... Sure most of the world is on Windows for general use and in many industries, no doubht about it but in music the split seems more balanced, same goes for graphic design and some other creative areas.
"There is Rosetta every few years" No, there is not, the name is Rosetta 2 for a reason. There were literally 3 changes in 35+ years of history. Motorola to PPC in 1994, Intel around 2005 (i think) and now Apple silicon. There won't be any new change in the next 2, 3 or 4 years... they spent too many millions for that to happen but in 10 years or so? yeah, maybe. Perhaps you're confusing OS updates which sometimes contain breaking changes with CPU architecture changes? Sure those are annoying... I understand that time spent on Apple shenanigans when you're a Windows user is supper annoying, I would be upset too just like it annoys me time spent on the M+, Sounds.com and many other things I dont care about.
Abandoning your customer's is never the awnser, it's a very dangerous precedent, today that might favor you but tomorrow it might not.

@D-One astonishingly uttered:
it annoys me time spent on the M+
I respectfully disagree and think the M+ is better than its reputation. To me the M+ is the essence of what Maschine is and always should have been from the start.
And though an avid Mac user since Macintosh System 4, I have to agree with the critics (aka „haters crowd“) that Apple changes their mind about CPU architecture way too often: 3 changes in 38 years is 3 times more often than Microsoft or any other OS provider did. It’s just freaking annoying, especially when working with legacy hard- and software. In hindsight the benefits (for the users) are (highly) questionable.
And now the same thing is happening with the iOS platform, but at a faster pace. I do like my iGadgets, but I wouldn’t advice any company to rely their whole ecosystem on that platform. Cross platform compatibility is a must.

Hey, we're all entitled to our opinions...

One fatal flaw in the concept of a standalone product like Maschine+ in the the year 2022 is the huge difference in evolutionary pace of the "brains" vs that of the "body".
It's like confining a primate brain in the body of a turtle.

The only "problem" of M+ is it would suit it stronger HW (CPU and more RAM). It will be possible with new AMD/Intel CPUs, comming soon .
Well, it was sort of joke. I guess NI would not abadon Mac users in favor of standalone. But SW providers should push on Apple stop its dictatorship and maintain more backward compatibility.... Say we will stop developing for Mac, if you continue like up to now.....
But I do think that focus on standalone instead of iPad would bring more money.
Concerning Rosettas:
PPC->Intel .... 11 years
Intel->AS .... 15 years
Average life of CPU platform .... 13 years
Rosetta 3 may be expected in 2031-2035.
There is not going to be Rosetta 3 in 2, 4, 5 years. But it may be expected in 8-12 years or so. If Apple would continue glueing together big chips like it did with M1 Ultra (and not smaller chips, say M1), Rosetta 3 has big chance to come even sooner. Or Apple HW will cost fortune, comparing to similar PC platform.
We will see soon M2 and maybe some info about M3 starts leaking. So far, M2 seems to be just a small step, x86 paces faster, IMHO.

Just here to make sure this is not taken as a fact since it might read as such for some of the readers.

One enabling thing that happened last year with iPadOS 15 is apps now being able to access more than 5GB of RAM.
Will WWDC this year reveal that an M1 iPad can also do super-fast swap memory?.. Hmmm, that could open some fun possibilities. June is not too far off for this developers event.

How can the benefits of the new architecture be questionable when it provides machines that run circles around competitors while staying cool and drawing significantly less power? For anyone into recording the value of a laptop that never spins up the fans and stays dead silent can hardly be over-estimated.
Apple is a company that restlessly, and sometimes, recklessly, moves forward and throws out legacy tech when it becomes a hinderance. To some that might be frustrating but to many of us it’s kind of the point.
They have pretty much committed to go down the path of creating all-in-one solutions that are super efficient but can’t be upgraded much and only works well in a unified service and hardware eco system.
That will be frustrating for some, but again, for some of us it’s just how we want it.

Yes, "We know what is the best for you." I have happened to experience for few decades of my life.... And never ever more again. :-) I hope.
Some people prefer simplicity and limited choise and reduced responbility for their choise, others prefer freedom to have things like they need and want, bearing the risk that they made wrong choise.
And by the way, non expandable, non-repairable products are not very environment friendly.

More thoughts on how user engagement will shape the smartest path forward.
The opportunities for how a music maker can learn their instrument and/or interact with other players will continue to radically be changed by the technically connected nature of our society.
The human reasons for anyone to even be initially drawn into the joy of music making are being fostered within the new arenas of these technological connections.
The most attractive tools for new music makers will be those that fully address the new options for how music is engaged in daily life.... learning, creating, performing,

How might busking be enabled in some new ways.......
Busking to a headphone audience?
Performer info and buy option for songs "broadcast" within a 20 yard radius?
Lyrics shared to audience devices?
A listener can trigger a sound element within your performance via their phone?
How might a "tip jar" function?

Learning to play an instrument might be more akin to a daily "Peloton" session....

The assumption that using a pre-defined solution for technical work has some relation to personal liberties or philosophical life choices is pretty melodramatic. You do realize we’re only talking about which type of computer some people prefer?

Well, it may be melodramatic. Apple world seems to be melodramatic anyway. Apple's "benchmarks" of M1 Ultra is not usuall and expectable advertising exaderating, it is propaganda based on lies and artifically created "facts". I would not be surprised if it ends up at court....
I would not buy computer, especially expensive one, where is not extendable RAM, possibility to change SDD/HDD, battery, CPU, .... Apple goes quite opposite way. I can imagine that EU one day makes a law that something like that is not possible. And Apple looses EU market or will have to change it.
