Right now, tablets have very limited options for connecting to MIDI gear (unless on iPad, in which case its pretty good, but still: wired) but if we can make a cheap wireless adapter that plugs into any MIDI port and exposes that machine to the tablet wirelessly, thats the direction we'd go.

The problem is the Laptop isn't just for routing anymore.  Its your
sound source as well.  It *is* your synthesizer, so it is going with
you no matter what.

Its unfortunate, but it has to be said, and I am someone who *really
really really* resisted this, but unless you require analog gear on
stage, what you can do with software running on a laptop is far ahead
of anything you can do (performance wise) with any hardware keyboard
rig out there.  I don't like it, but it is just the way it is.
