Understand. I started looking for a replacement for my Tranzport, since they are out of production (though mine is still running strong). My recording room is on a different floor from the control room, so I mainly need something to control the Transport in Sonar, when I don't have my engineer (aka fiance) present. Though, as mentioned in an earlier post, I've customized my Tranzport interface quite a bit (metronome control on the fly, track layer control, multiple track cloning and archiving, for example). Without the Tranzport, I'd have no easy options. So, the iPad Ap fills that gap. Not in the same league as an MCU, but a different mission requirement. And for less than a glass of wine at a good restaurant...
