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.

Thanks! My daughter is spitting into my iPhone as I type this.
Lol. That's funny.
Quite a realistic sound - my family were complaining within seconds!
Thanks for the heads up @telecharge

Castrating cats for entertainment is reprehensible and I think anyone who buys a sampled version of same should be ashamed of themselves.
I used to play the bagpipes and these actually sound pretty good. Unfortunately the finger positions are completely unauthentic so it will take some significant practice just to get a decent tune out of them.
I would actually love to figure out how to use a subtractive synth to get a realistic bagpipe sound. The other day I even made a drone sound and then played some Amazing Grace and Scotland The Brave over the top using a keyboard. But I still need to work on the drone as it just isn't quite right. (a modification of a Sunrizer Cfa_Vincage_Analog_Va bank, cs80a sound)
