What is the lowest spec iPad mini to run Lumbeat drum apps?

What do you reckon I could get away with in an iPad mini to run all the Lumbeat drum apps - spec wise and which iOS version?

    No-one?

    Oldest Mini I have is a Mini 4 on iPadOS 15.8.5 and that handles them well - both the IAA only ones as well as pop drummer as AUv3.

    While not a Mini, my first gen iPad Air can load an older version of Soft Drummer but not Pop Drummer. That’s running iPadOS 12.5.7.

    Very good, thanks much. Thinking of downsizing the M3 iPad to a mini and running it purely as a drum machine supporting my bigger iPad Pro

    That’s pretty much what I use it for. I have a Mini 4 and Mini 5. The 4 I have some Lumbeat drummers and a few sequencers. The 5 has a shattered screen so I run MusiKraken on there to use a DualShock 4 gamepad as a midi controller for the M2 Pro I use. M2 has most everything loaded, the minis are there to offload some CPU and act as controllers.

    Perfect world I’d have a non shattered gen 5 mini + a MacBook Pro. My M2 12.9” is pretty bulky. Especially with the Magic Keyboard attached. It’s a wannabe MacBook Pro with way less functionality outside the Apple Pencil.
