The iPad as a musical instrument? Let’s take a look-see.

Maybe you like to mess with the classics

Or your nights are spent making music ’round a campfire

You might get your kicks out beats and the sounds of synth

Or you just like to geek out with  music and fireworks

Perhaps you like to karaoke. Maybe you play the Ocarina. Just hit record then spin the world to hear global harmonies belted out in passionate unison.

Maybe your air guitar days have become a cyber reality

It could be that you just like to scratch

And when you’re not scratching your rapping

What do you think? A musical instrument? Musical conduit? Sonic expression? Bells and Whistles?
