Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

You're on a desert island and can only have three synth apps. Which do you choose?
Curious which ones you're most attached to.

iMS20, Turnado, BM3 should keep me amused for a bit.
Mood, Zeeon & Model 15. I'd be more than willing to put up with any shortcomings these may have as they sound better than anything else on my iPad. Overall sound trumps most anything.
Model 15, Zeeon, Mood
I think we need a definition of 'synth app'.
Turnado, audioshare, BM3... that type of thing.
Mine was obviously a joke relating to this statement.
Classic question and a variation of deserted island and books. But here's something different going on. People nowadays think that juice (electricity) is everywhere. But on a deserted Island there is of course none and this renders all gadgets based on electricity useless. You better should ask which kind of instruments you would like to take with you
Model15, animoog and geoshred
Are there any synth apps I could fashion into a raft?
Zeeon, PhaseMaker and BeatHawk all in BM3
Close calls would be RippleMaker, Mood, Kasper, Redshrike and Infinate
Notice all are AU apps. Some others would be included if they ever become AUx
Gadget. And a couple of others - maybe Animoog and iDensity?
But if Gadget doesn't count...
(Mmm - might need a subtractive analogue synth though - like Mono/Poly. So hopefully Gadget counts.)
Probably no synth apps at all.
Maybe I should revisit this topic in 2-3 years?
Would I still have my glasses, or would the savage children have taken them, to start their campfires?
DRC, Zeeon, Mood
Hehe, the head tappy meme made think so. Just playin along.
Is there a woman on the island with me?
Yes, Siri.
There's a mother keyboard joke in there somewhere
Thor, Neo and Bebot. Of course.
You can build one out of a volleyball
If you're on a desert island with a woman and you're worried about which synth apps you have....
Then again, she'd ask you - why do you need 3? Don't you already have a synth app?
I just went to ask her what her favourite synth app was, and not only did she not have an opinion, but she'd had a sex change

(he said pretending that he knew Neo).
Thor +1
iSEM (just because)
And iDS10 to sing me to sleep
Is there a melon patch on the island?
Great, I can ride the camel to the brothel.
Infinite, DRC, Animoog
No, only an abandoned Wilson factory
Imini iprophet and isem
