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.

OT - VJ artist in me geeking hard about 4k external display in iOS 12.1 beta

So this news is from MacRumors (not hard facts), but the code is there in the 12.1 iOS beta for external 4k displays. Apparently this is pretty strong evidence that a 2018 iPad Pro will have USB-C and support external 4k displays.
This is going to open up a lot of possibility for VJ, music-synced graphics, etc.

That’d be me sold, hope it’s true.
VJ Artist you say?
Curious as to which apps you favor...
oh, sorry to say I'm just a dreamer VJ. Never been on stage for that type of art.
But I do have a few favorite video/music related iOS apps...
I like these:
TouchViz https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/touchviz/id486139371?mt=8
its still getting updates, refreshes in 2018. haven't bought it yet but... looks the most capable.
Takete https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/takete/id1012637066?mt=8
no updates since July 2017... seems to be the most powerful as far as control, external midi controllers etc. I've never put the time into learning it well, despite putting out the cash... $40 on sale I think.

Awesome. I will check those out. Thank you.
also, one of the more exciting things on iOS for people who want to create their own video visuals is the screen recording feature. I'd like to play around with it more, but if you can manipulate images real-time in a photo app then you should be able to screen-cap those adjustments and make some great video segments. ...just a thought
A few years ago I played around with vjay by algoriddim was quite limited but fun. Still seems to get updates
Yep, my recent breakdown of my album track ‘Adjacent Sheet’ was screencapped within my iPad and voiceover and title added in LumaFusion and published. No need to go outside now. I admit I used a Shure MV5 mic over lightning, next step is to rely on the iPad mic array alone.
Takete for iPhone beta been running for a while so I assume the dev working on that.
