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.

iOS7, IAA and Battery life
Here's what I tested:
Garage band > New project > Add IAA Track > Open Nave.
Go to home screen and leave everything open (with the red bar saying Garage Band (recording) )
@14:02 - 29% battery
@15:18 - 26% battery
So... in conclusion, I'd say do not close your synths every damn time because iOS7 does a pretty good job of putting them to nap. Also, I bet it takes more battery to start Nave or iSEM every time, than leaving it open. Being a synth and not a DSP app, I guess it take CPU only when it generates notes.

Good point….I'll make some test, thanks @alexbuga
Thank you.
Sorry, I don't get your numbers. Are you saying you lost 3% of your battery in a little over a minute?
EDIT Oh, that's an hour and 15 minutes.
