@JohnnyGoodyear if I want to have fun noodling around I prefer to pick up a guitar, although I can also noodle on the iPad, but it's actually less fun than playing a real physical instrument (for me). BTW has that Taylor come out of storage yet?

Blocs Wave. Stuff the rules.
BeatHawk was the first app that seemed to click for me. Really curious to see the long-awaited update. Patterning is the one up with which I seem least able to cozy, even though everyone raves about it. Wish I could, but it just seems alien to the way my brain is wired.
It has. I am following the consensus advice and trying not to worry about the soft spaghetti that has appeared at the end of my hands, but instead am just picking the thing up for between 20 and 30 minutes a day and playing the dozen or so chords I know in random rotation. I am going to do this for a month (I see a pattern here
) and then start listening to the noise that's coming out of the thing.
The spaghetti will eventually turn into hard lumps of peeling skin. And a few months later the hard skin becomes soft again as the calluses sink below the surface. Anyway, eventually you will have more or less normal fingers, and yet be able to play the chords without feeling that sting. In the meantime it's a good way to frighten small children and fend off the opposite sex.
Patterning!!
For me, it has been Rock Drum Machine V4. Because i am not a drummer but an Electric guitar player, I found this app to be the most fun, to jam along with, to record and just noodle around with also.
Second to that one, is Guitarism of course. Being a guitar player, this app is incredibly fun to play with, adding effects via AudioBus or AUM this amazing app can bring chills from how realistic it can sound.
@db909 I was the same way for a while. I then realized for me to enjoy Gadget, I need to be controlling it with a midi controller. Then it gets really fun.
Gadget
+1, this is the app I boot up if I just want to PLAY something on the iPad. It's a bit like an old guitar in that sense.
I would say, Sector for just having fun, especially since the update where you can play the sectors with a midi controller.
Module, cuz it's the only one I've used in live performance (course, now there's Odyssei...)
Out of interest, at this point in history what's your controller of choice for Gadget?
I find the new stretchable keyboard in Infinite Looper to be awesome at controlling Gadget. Really wish Gadget had something similar internally.
@MusicMan4Christ how do you stretch the keyboard? I was trying to find it and couldn't. Want to make the keys smaller
@JohnnyGoodyear I use my TritonTaktile 25, even though the transport controls don't work. I use a nanoKontrol 1 sometimes as well.
I love poking it with Fugue Machine
Oh and patterning
I'm gonna say it's a close tie between Samplr and Egoist.
Just tap on the right or left side of the bar that you use to move the octave left or right. I had a bit of trouble figuring this one out, but once you know it, it is second nature. Loving it big time!
@MusicMan4Christ awesome thanks!
My current weapon of choice is my Circuit, but I will also use an Akai LPK25 when i want a full (well tiny 25 keys) keyboard.
For controller apps then ModStep is really good for doing CC's, the templates are really good, and having the 2 XY's makes tweaking gadgets like playing a game on a console.
Egoist. Not that much has come of it.
Egoist is like a trampoline for me— lots of fun and activity, but I end up going nowhere. And that's okay.
Animoog and Patterning. I couldn't guess if I had to say which one I've spent more time in, whether fiddling or working
Good analogy. I always feel I should be wearing incontinence knickers while using Egoist and I live in fear of breaking my leg. I would put this up as my review on the store but fear it might be misunderstood by The Others. I love it.
I found feeding Egoist wav files of a couple minutes long made of dozen of samples really elevated it's use for me. As well as recording and editing the results in Blocs Wave.
I guess for me it would be ElasticDrums. I've made several full length tracks in it. Figure might be 2nd place as far as just pure fun goes.
I was shure that everyone should say Korg Gadget...
I vote for Gadget though!
