Since picking up an iPad (mostly for my wife to browse and email on as her iBook is getting pretty old and useless), I found this list a great starting place (thanks Paul!): On Dec 16, 2010, at 2:32 PM, Paul Mimlitsch wrote: > Here's a list of the ones I'd recommend (organized into categories) > and have used in performance situations (3GS (4.2.1) iPhone to > volume pedal to looper): > > TOOLS: > iStrobeSoft - tuner > > RECORDERS: > iProRecorder > Fire > > PROCESSORS: > SFSsynth (my favorite) > Resonizer > Filtatron (Moog Music) > Otto > > AMBIENT (for creating pads etc.) > Droneo > KepplersOrrery > Aura > Aura Flux > > PERCUSSION: > PanDrumFull > TongueDrum > Bowls (nice for pads) > MandalaMuOdd:Hang > > THERIMEN: > Cosmovox > BeBot (despite the goofy interface) > > NOISY (staticky/ glitchy stuff): > Space > iGlendyne > aardvark > Sonic Wire > modAxis Free > > INSTRUMENTS: > ThumbJam (will loop onboard instruments or incoming audio) > Morphwiz > Gayageum > Bubble Harp > Zen Music > Musical DNA > Noise.io Pro (great synth but too much learning curve for me - > though Amidio apps are great) > > VISUALIZERS (great for adding music driven visuals) NOTE: these only > send video out on an iPhone 4 or iPad: > iBeams - the best from the standpoint of tweakabillity.

Jordan Rudess is the pitchman and sometimes creator of both and he's got impressive YouTube demos: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbs=vid%3A1&q=jordan+rudess+ipad&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=f&oq=&gs_rfai= ThumbJam is very cool on the iPod Touch/iPhone, since it works well one-handed; otherwise the size of the iPad is advantage. I also picked up: Pianist http://moocowmusic.com/ Crystal Synth http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/ NLog Synth http://www.temporubato.com/ The latter two can be driven by my keyboard using an M-Audio Uno interface and the iPad Camera connector. There's at least these several multitrack DAWS: iSequence SynthStation (best buy) Korg iMS-20 nanostudio And some interesting creative interfaces for music and MIDI control: touchOSC http://hexler.net/software/touchosc midipad http://www.midipad.de/Website/Info.html expression pad http://expressionpad.com/index.php PatternMusic MX Seline HD http://amidio.com/ (they have other cool apps) Reactable Sound Scope Space for iPad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSSYJCJ1Oy8&fmt=18 Hex OSC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFGLHhEJpOk&feature=related&fmt=18 Mugician http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN7sjPYz-aI&feature=related&fmt=18 Pianist Pro - External MIDI Control http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtbU6UoPKR8&feature=related&fmt=18 Jasuto Pro modular synthesizer synthPond http://apps.stfj.net/synthPond/ And generative stuff I've yet to sample: http://www.generativemusic.com/air.html Budgie http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/budgie-melody-generator/id368436517?mt=8 Mixtikl 12 Track Mixer of Generative Music, Audio MIDI Loops & Live FX http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mixtikl-12-track-mixer-generative/id347409277?mt=8 Aphonium http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/aphonium/id357429007?mt=8# Some resources: http://www.metafilter.com/94628/Make-Music-Anywhere http://createdigitalmusic.com/2010/11/on-ipad-midi/ http://iosmidi.com/devices/#comment-7 http://www.synthtopia.com/content/tag/ipad-music-software/ and I haven't even looked at the loopers yet; a few: http://www.trapcode-content.com/proloop/ProLoopScreencast.swf http://www.tc-helicon.com/products/voicejam/ http://nanoloop.de/iphone …deep…
