But for portability, at this point I would say iPod Touch or iPad.


How do you use a ipod Touch or iPad with the 500

You can use them as a hardware midi controller using Line 6's MIDI mobilizer MIDI interface and the MIDI Surface app which gives you a MIDI keyboard, xy pad, sliders and drum pads.

And then you have countless number of touch-enabled instruments at your disposal like iElectribe, Beatmaker, NLog, iDrum...etc. that you can sample/import into the 500. Or you can sample what you do on the 500 into the iPad/iPod Touch.
