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.

Curious about your top3 setup. Mine these days:
Eg Pulse - Looperator
Rozeta xox

drum computer
patterning 2
grove rider 16
Drambo
Poly 2
Fractal Bits
Interesting cool setup. What is your midi sequencer here? Can Poly2 trigger notes based on a strict xox linear sequencing style? > @aleyas said:
Rozeta Rhythm or Poly2 to sequence EG Pulse with Toneboosters Barricade/Reverb.

Yeah, Poly 2 is “basically” a spherical xox with higher step resolution. It’s also a lot more than that too. But you can get a four on the floor sequence with literally a single node, so it’s really fast to work with. I do use it as a sequencer for external apps. But it can also trigger its internal samples side by side external control too.
Most the time I use Drambo for drum sequencing especially when I want to get crazy with p-locks and automation. Drambo is really good for things like retriggering, and easily adjusting velocity curves, humanization etc. I built a little beat randomizer for it which I use on Fractal Bits quite often. Sending out p-locked CCs and midi messages to control things like transpose or distortion in FB is really fun too.
Poly 2 is quicker to bang out complex grooves though, and it has some really incredible cycle and probability functions. It has this great triplet timing a you can switch on anytime too, which completely changes the beat’s feel. It’s a really great sequencer for fractal bits. I wanna try sequencing Drum Computer with it also, because they both have 8 voices - but I haven’t bought the IAP on that one yet.

I know I cheated. Lol.

Sounds good! I might give it a spin...Looperator is just another beast, that works with everything you throw at it.> @aleyas said:

Still trying to figure out which way I prefer using Drum Computer; loaded in Drambo as an AU on the main track with multi out to 8 tracks, or just load single instances on a track here and a track there, where ever I need drums. There’s so many different ways to use it!

Patterning 2 or Drambo
Often I will just print my drums first to audio to save on CPU and for tightness.
I usually use:
Drambo
Drum Computer
Fractal Bits
And sometimes Ruismaker Noir (but mostly just for kicks)
Noir is a beast for noise/black electronica
Yeah I can definitely see that! I don’y necessarily make noise but I use it for more noisy, chaotic tracks
Hmmm. Begins to tap the wrapping paper with the scissors...
Only three?
To start.
But I must have a reverb.
My kingdom for a reverb.
A reverb drops the music into an aural space.
No reverb and it's just "data" not sound.
Yeah..i like reverb on snares/claps or highs ( generally known and used) but for kicks i always like a bit of chorus and distort
