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.

Nice one. I agree, without repetition I do lose interest. Too much of it gets boring too but there needs to be some kind of cycle going on. At the very least of regularly going back to the same root note, or some sort rhythmical structure of some kind. Even free jazz stretches out to explore landscapes of notes but at some point come back to a root at some point.
Actually, I think it's about repetition as a baseline but also clever variations from it, like mid-song drops, Abba-style key changes, the same jungle beat but sliced differently every 8 beat, small changes to a pop song bassline or melody every 16 beat, etc. That's the strength of apps like SECTOR or Fugue Machine that build on concepts of building variations on the same original pattern.
