I have to disqualify myself from any real iOS music "Master's" sash because of my lack of understanding/use of Midi. But I am an enthusiastic Jouneyman with Auria, Beathawk, the Cinema piano in module, and Stereo Designer. A keen apprentice of many, many things with a concentration in FLUX, Auxy, Alchemy, Thor, Navichord, Samplr, Vbot, ChordPolyPad and Tin Pan.
Best app: Simplenote
Preferred medium: MUJI ink pen and paper
Favorite word: Spatula
You must have expected me to be master of my domain.
I normally run B-Step into Gadget, but it works with pretty much any synth. The trick is to tune a whole Chordset like a guitar, with 6 of the intervals from the major or minor scale, and then use the Chord knobs for your progressions. Here's a screenshot of it tuned to A Major.
Here's a basic example of my workflow showing 2 hands playing a I-vi-V-IV progression in A Major, with the melody always staying in perfect harmony. And then when I want to get really crazy, I turn the chordset knob in realtime to affect key changes, like to the relative minor, as an example.
B Step seems worthy of mastering in that it can reward those who raise to the challenge. At least it seems like it will from over here on the apprentice side.
I'd love to find some good B-Step videos. It certainly looks powerful.
Well, this is a start.

I'd say DM1, Sunrizer, iKaossilator and Figure for me.
Currently working on learning BM2 to bring those apps and other synths together into a final song. Have the basics down but still a ways from mastery. Also not sure if I want to stick with it as my DAW of choice.
lol, I don't even have my guitar tuner "mastered". Pretty sure I'm disqualified from this study. (iStrobosoft, btw)
Thanks @jwmmakerofmusic. I recall watching it before, but I didn't spend enough time with B-Step afterwards to get comfortable with it. I'll have to give it another spin.
Samplr
"The Appstore" was a nice one! Me too - sadly.
Animoog. Though I am sure there are others would not consider it mastery.
Auria. Now if I could mix as well as I can run auria I'll be in business!
I don't think you 'master' anything. For sure, you can get to the point where you know enough about an app / program to be able to express your ideas efficiently.
I've used Gadget more than anything else, but I've still a lot to learn.
Like a guitar. Hummn.
You have motivated me to re-examine B-Step.
So you have a big library of custom presets for Sunrizer? (cough)
It is love/hate with this app for me.
I find that it sounds nice with some apps and some it doesn't.
There is a frequency that comes from Samplr that I can't explain.
I would have hoped BM2 would be mastered by now...but nope.
Use an open or a dropped tuning, so that you can play 1-finger chords. And ChordPoly and Wikipedia are good references to use when setting-up Chordsets, since you have flatten a few notes when you transpose them.
This is an ok place to start, but in the video, they tune the strings to A Minor, while it's set to the key of E, so it defeats the purpose of the chordset and key knobs. The power of B-Step comes from tuning it such a way so that it always stays in perfect harmony when you fiddle the knobs.
