I have upgraded from an iPad 1 to a 4 but have been very much out of the loop on new developments in audio applications.

What might be a good iPad setup for a main sequencer and a few sound making apps resulting in a nice streamlined workflow?

I know about Auria and Cubasis, but are there any others?

Are there any good dedicated drumloop makers as well?

GarageBand is pretty essential. DM1 is fun and great-looking. You really need to get BM on your iPad, though. I got BM on my iPad the very first week I got it, and I've been playing with BM for months. In my estimation, there's no better experience than working your fingers out through a long BM session. There's just so much you can do with BM. Great app.

I have used my iPad frequently during BMs. Oh...think I misread

Until WI Guitar goes audiobus, Garageband (with its smart-instruments guitar run clean), is the best recordable "software" guitar available on the ipad. WI Guitar is the best, but it can't record anything. If WI Guitar goes audiobus, my guitar search will be over. I SO WANT WI GUITAR TO HAVE AUDIOBUS!!!!!

Beatmaker 2 seems to have the best sampler for classical sampling on the iPad to date too.

Synths & Samplers:
Voice Synth: Excellent and beautifully designed vocoder
SunriserXS: Very quality synth sounds and presets
Alchemy by Camel Audio
PPG Wave Generator
iMaschine

MIDI & Osc:
TouchOSC: Create your own control surfaces - like JazzMutant. Nice clean interface.
MIDI Bridge: Useful if you use MIDI hardware or MIDI apps to control Synth apps
BreathOSC - Let's you blow in the mic to play MIDI
MidiMonitor - A useful and free tool

Guitar:
Amplitube or Ampkit - Each has its pros and cons

Audio & Effects:
Loopy HD: Clean, pretty, professional
JamPipe: For collaborative music creation (iphone only?)

Thank you all.

I've been looking at BM2, but it looks a little fiddly and complex for my needs. Every video I've seen of it focusses on the sampler and all I seem to see are loads of steps concerning import sample, name sample, import sample to slicer, export, rename, re import to sampler...and on and on...Never been a big sample slicer. the iPad is fiddly enough without having to import and export constantly!!
I did buy Auria purely for the quality of fx and the potential for development. I also run Cubase 7 on desktop, so Cubasis is also tempting, despite the price.
I have GB and don't mind it, but it has limits I don't really like.
Will check otu some of the other stuff though

I've had good results with Nanostudio, and there are tons of free presets for its built in Eden synthesizer. Between Nanostudio, BM2, and FL Studio HD I would give Nanostudio a slight edge in terms of workflow efficiency and overall flexibility.

New iPad...what to get?
