Moog’s Ben Hovey demonstrates how he combines a Moog Little Phatty with an Apple iPad, using TouchOSC, to create a multi-touch enhanced analog synthesizer.
See this previous post for more details on Hovey’s Apple iPad TouchOSC setup.

If it is possible to do this without a laptop involved, I just might buy an iPad.
Line 6 has made a direct ipad port to midi converter but i don't know if it works with TouchOSC. Still, the ipad is very expensive for what it offers and the way it makes you work with it. I would only buy it for 250 euros…
No – if LIne 6 can get other apps to add compatibility, it would open a lot of doors.
I believe a laptop is definitely needed to run pd or Max for TouchOSC to operate.
But what if the app developers supported the Line 6 interface? Then you could use the iPad as your sequencer, which it would definitely have the power to do.
Actually, this works great using the new app "MIDI Touch" with the iPad camera connection kit via MIDI over USB. Just had it working perfectly with my LP Stage II and iPad…… No laptop necessary unless you want to record or sequence. (Although you can do both of those with the iPad now too).
