As of today it can run Logic Pro. The feature parity is there, most people consider using one or the other a matter of personal preference.

For musicians (professional or semi-pro) that use Logic on a laptop the feature parity is nowhere there. They depend on tens of AUs ("VSTs") that aren't available on the iPad for example, on top of lots of other stuff.

Those VSTs won’t run on a push 3 either.

Of course ableton comes with a pretty good array of instruments and effects, so maybe this isn’t that big a deal.

I haven’t used it on iPad yet, I meant in regards to desktop.

Biggest issue on iPad is lack of device drivers. Class Compliant audio only gets you so far.

FabFilter? Eventide? Pianoteq? Sugarbytes? It’s starting to get decent out there.

Does Logic Pro support controller extensions? If they do, they could add "support" with an unofficial plugin like Bitwig or Reaper does. Something tells me the iPad+Push experience wouldn't really be a gamechanger though, at least right now.

Agree, I think it will be limited. However, I could see a niche where it’s a good way to play your tracks live. Maybe you’d have to bounce some tracks in advance if they aren’t iOS compatible for whatever reason.
