Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Hope it has a 3.5mm head-phone jack
No mention of it yet...
"Tim Cook retakes the stage and describes other ways in which iPads are being used in the classroom, such as for writing music and programming drones."
So yeah, writing music and writing music.
The new iPad is priced at $329 for consumers... available today and ships later this week.
It's like an iPad 4 with iPad Pro internals or something?!
(If the screen is laminated like the Air 2 it will be pretty neat).
GarageBand for iOS also getting updated with new sound packs for students?
"writing music" let's see "drawing music" too with automation curves etc LOL...
How much RAM?
Actually, programming drones is the whole point of modern education...
New classroom app, can we take iOS Music as a course! The Stonehenge iPad ! For that price it won’t have a lot of opff!
Unless I’m mistaken, my Pro 9.7 has an A9X chip with 4Gb of RAM. What’s the RAM of the A10?
Update: GSM Arena states my iPad Pro 9.7 has 2Gb of RAM. I could get a faster iPad for very little money
Apparently this is no A10X, but AFAIK the X is primarily GPU related. My guess on the RAM would be 3GB...
So the Apple policy of less for more continues. FFS, what is Cook playing at. Everyone needs more RAM, not less.
With pencil support and a processor upgrade, this does at least look a sensible priced option for an upgrade for my Air2. Well that’s if they don’t do something stupid to it lol
We won't know how much RAM is in the new iPad until it's been opened up by someone like iFixit. Any numbers given today will just be speculation.
Delighted to see Pencil support in the cheaper model finally though.
Less than what? It’s only the maxi pad that’s had 4gb and that’s twice the price.
And it uses more RAM for the screen...
Looks like it might be nearing time to donate my Air 1 and upgrade. £399 was the price of the one it replaced?

Headphone & stereo speakers...
Crossing my fingers for 3GB... Not so sure though, with the price being 50% of the 10.5" model.
Let's wait for the benchmarks to roll in.
Less ram?!? Huh what
Where’s the bright fresh oled screens?
I want more dam it more I say
Not for me. I keep my iPads going for at least 3 years. If this isn't much more powerful than an Air 2, which already struggles with CPU hungry apps such as Model 15, I doubt it's going to be much cop now, let alone in a couple of years time.
If that’s it for now, I’m expecting big things in June or October in terms of iPad Pro. They’ll have had a lot of time to develop new hardware by then. I’d best start saving, because it won’t be cheap!
The two most important questions for me would be can I now do VR emojis and can Siri compose copyright protected music for me....just to save me some time
garage band face tracking for effects on iPhone X
This seems the sensible thing to do...to wait and see
I’m hoping it has 4GB ram, why are we settling for 3?
It seems like a pretty modest upgrade from the 2017 iPad. (Why no camera improvement??) But at the same price point, I guess there’s nothing to complain about. And Apple Pencil support is very welcome
That's genius, now you can face pull like all those terrible guitar heroes!
Correct!
Why folks lust after this new thing if a Pro 10.5 can be had on eBay now for £400?
