Another vote for Caustic. Rock solid on every platform.
And I have to say I find Reason Compact quite inspiring, despite its shortcomings. With more tracks it could be tremendous.
Animoog was my intro to iPad music.
Xynthesizr as the quite companion
Autony for how quick it makes up a sequence
but over all is AUM, the very first app I always fire up - it is there to be unnoticed and yet it pervades everything iPad music

Thinking about what I use iOS for that has improved my ability to make music, the app that comes to mind is BlocsWave.
Before I used Bw I would have lots of bits of projects that never got finished in lots of different apps. Now whatever combination of apps I’m using I will export a loop or stems as soon as it sounds good enough and sling those into BlocsWave.
BW is so instant that I can quickly use my own loops as building blocks and it helps me work out arrangements and ends up being something of a hub. I even use it with stems I’ve made in Logic now too as it’s nice being able to jam out song ideas with no friction. It’s so quick to use and it’s one of those apps where I actually like the limitations as the app just gets out of the way and lets me play.
More often than not parts intended for one song end up being used in something completely different in a way that never really happened before. BW makes it so easy to try any combination of loops together.
Once things start developing I just export the BW project and finish the track in Logic.
Oldies:
Animoog
Guitarism
Seline
Drum Jam / Thumb Jam
Newer ( or old but updated ):
Wotja
Geoshred
EG Pulse
DAW:
Cubasis
( although the instruments in Garageband are amazing ... wish I could break them out!)
GeoShred, Gestrument, ... all apps beginning by "Ge***".
Borderlands
Sector
Patterning
I love those three so much
Thanks, good to know. That inspires some patching ideas.
Too bad about Seline. I really liked that one.
I haven’t used it for a while, but SunVox was a major inspiration. I'm fairly sure it unlocked parts of my brain when I realised quite how good it is, and it‘s really good in countless ways - from metamodules to drawing your own knob-response curves, to knowing that it runs on every crappy device that everybody in the world has access to. A true level playing field. Alexander Zolotov is a genius.
Otherwise, I’m in love with NanoStudio 2. I ‘like’ like Patterning. I can’t imagine an iPad without Samplr or Egoist. iWAVESTATION gives me warm fuzzy feelings, even now. Noodling away on Neo-Soul Keys is a delight.
Blocs Wave 👍
can’t find any youtube in it
Sir Doug did a video, @reasOne:
AudioStretch
Borderlands Granular
Sunrizer - It just clicks with me when creating new sounds. My favorite all time software synthesizer.
Ripplemaker - creative yet simple. A good intro into modular for me.
Tardigrain - endless source of washy sounds and creative backdrops.
Mersenne - a percussive powerhouse in my setup
FAC - All of them are infinitely useful and stable
Strng - I'm always surprised with the sounds I am able to achieve here
K7D - a warm and beautiful tape delay
Barkfilter - Discovered only recently but the tripleband is just PERFECT
Dedalus - a creative and unique delay that I have abused for years
NS2 - definitely the most straightforward and easy to use DAW so I can focus more on music, less on trying to figure things out. It's began performing less well since I haven't updated my hardware so I have avoided it of late but it's still an elegant masterwork on ios.
AUM - the app that brings all my apps together. It's basically perfect.
Drambo - I am still learning Drambo but it's power is mind boggling and it's so stable on my device.
@wim : Try n-Tracks
GlitchCore
Aphelian
All of art Kerns apps
AudioVeeks apps
Polythemus and MidiEcho
(One day my use of Mozaic will be able to supplement all of these)
And a very hearty recommend for Polyphase, Poly2 and Thesys
Endlesss is really fun when I want to be creative without worrying about being productive. I feel like Flip is starting to fit that bill too.
BLEASS Alpha has really inspired me to add some interesting new flavors to my music.
No subscription apps for me.
[edit - nvm, thought it was subscription. Anyway, I have too many DAWs already. I’m good.]
(BTW, that previous post was sarcasm, not real.)
Figure is inspiring, and I really enjoy mixbox
Flux:FX. I'm so sad it's been abandonned.
Kronekler. I absolutely love this synth.
Factory. It seems, to me, that everything is possible with it
Drambo. Endless source of fun... even if it's still tricky for me to "go where I want to" with it.
Cykle, the "xxxBuds", riffer, playbeat, Rozeta... all apps that make random exploration music possible.
And last, but not leat : Fractal Bits
BeBot is still a clear NUMERO UNO after all these years...
...treat it with some extra effects and man, I can jam that thing for hours!!!
My wish for 2021 is that BeBot will get an AUV3 and MPE treatment!
(ie. use BeBot as both a controller and sound-source).
Obviously and unsurprisingly Nanostudio for me at first (and second and third) place... but apart from that, literally game changer for me was/is allmighty miRack... if i should have just 2 apps on my iPad for rest of my life, then NS2 and miRack. Endless source of creativity.
SeekBeats for that morphing randomization beat heaven.
TC11 for sounds from outer space.
Rozeta Bassline and X0X for initiating so many ideas.
Quantum for opening my eyes to deep sequencing.
I fired off an e-mail to the Bebot developer regarding MPE & AUv3 support during 2021. If I get a reply I'll share it...
