Running Reason on a tablet?

I wondered whether reason would run on a high spec windows 7 tablet. My mate Grant who runs A plus pc repair had a go at installing it on one of his high spec tablets. Processor wise it might just about have done the trick but memory was too low and there were a number of problems getting the audio to work. Windows 7 tablets are just not built for producing the kind audio needed for Reason to work. However as you can see from the window the software is running in the tablet, and is controlled with a USB mouse The only thing not happening is the audio, mostly due to resource limitations on the tablet I should guess.

Here is the video:


Thanks Grant!

Running it on a tablet would be amazing especially for use in live situations. Some of my performance combinators would be 100% crying out for a tablet. Please Propellerhead create full reason installations for tablets.

By the way you can now get the Propellerhead Figure app on an Ipad and iphone. Figure is a very well put together music app by the Propellerheads. Great for jotting down an idea and recording it straight into reason as well.

If any of you out there managed to get Reason to run on a tablet, let me know!

    Interesting idea! It would be nice to have such a portability!! But I can see the processor is too slow, I don't think it is an audio card issue, but a lack of power to move the Propellerhead's engine.
    So you can't play a heavy sampled piano for example (not even live), and that would be due the size of the samples. The data stream becomes unbearable for that processor.
    Well, thanks for the post!!
