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.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.
Demo of all my favorite apps on one iPad
Here's a dubstep demo, this is a live jam on one iPad, with a few other iOS devices as controllers (using MIDI Designer Pro)
My favorite parts:
Of course, Audiobus and Loopy are magic
Animoog just makes amazing sounds
Midi designer pro can Map a MIDI cc to the x/y accelerometers on my iPod touch
Magellan for fx! this is a poor demo, but it has potential since its fully MIDI mappable.
***Oh yeah, turn down your volume and don't take me too serious. ...Just having fun here

You forgot the link lol
Nah, man, it's right there on the next tab in chrome... Oh ... Yeah I guess you're right
Nice. Good job. That riff was awesome. loved it. you know the one.
That is EXCELLENT! Mind posting all of the gear and apps that you'Ve used for this? I'm trying to figure it out...
From the YouTube description...
Animoog for iPad is the sound source: every sound (except for bass, snare, hi-hat) was created live in Animoog, looped into Loopy HD
Go get Animoog
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/animoog/id471638724?mt=8
And Loopy HD
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/loopy-hd/id467923185?mt=8
all sounds come from one iPad, recorded internally via Loopy HD app and Audiobus app. Loopy recorded the session and I uploaded it directly to soundcloud, no edits.
MIDI Designer Pro gives additional controls via virtual MIDI/ wifi MIDI on an iPod touch and a second iPad. Also MIDI Designer Pro uses the accelerometer on the iPod to affect Animoog's xy pad. It's a stellar app.

** Disclaimer: this is dubstep. **
It gets ... filthy, TURN WAY DOWN the volume before 2:30 unless you enjoy that sort of thing.
also:
Magellan for iPad added some fx on the hi hats, via Audiobus.
if you really care for the full app list:
main iPad2:
Animoog for iPad
Audiobus
MIDI Designer Pro
Loopy HD
Magellan for iPad
Molten Drums
second iPad2:
MIDI Designer Pro - custom Loopy HD controller via MIDI
iPodTouch 3G:
MIDI Designer Pro - x/y axis accelerator enabled MIDI controls and faders to Animoog
Nice track...
Thanks everyone. And I've stumped the Audiobus guru! Now that's an accomplishment I should have left in a few seconds of the audiobus setup screen for you guys. Seriously though, who would have though this could be done with zero external hardware, other than my earbuds, lol! Audiobus amazes me.
Also, you guys might like to know, it was taxing the main iPad 2 pretty good. I posted the first pass that didn't crash one of the MIDI connections or lose the audio on Molten drums. Next time I might try DM1 for my drums to see if it keeps up better.
