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.
New downloadable instruments in ThumbJam
To tide you over until v2.4 is approved, I've added some new free downloadable instruments in ThumbJam. Go to Sound->Download Samples to grab them now!
Violin Staccato - pulled from the archives, a companion to the built-in Violin, recorded in the same session by Steve Bingham.
Shakuhachi - a Japanese flute
Turkish Ney - a rim-blown flute made of reed
Snake Charmer - reeded wind instrument. Add your own expression with shake/tilt.
Plus two more from Michael Eskin - ( http://tradlessons.com ):
Hohner AirBoard - the new melodica from Hohner
Cajun Accordion - sampled from a Hohner Cajun IV one-row accordion
Bonus: the Harp instrument is updated, the background hiss is now gone! Re-download it...
[EDIT] And now that v2.4 is approved -- several new velocity-layered instruments are released, to take advantage of the new feature:
Wurlitzer EP - Model 200A Electric Piano. Multi-sampled with three velocity layers.
Upright Piano - Kawai 52 inch upright piano, built in 1985. Multi-sampled with multiple velocity layers. This is the piano in my house 
Bonus: updated the Hang with velocity layers.

Nope, it is down to Apple now, it will show up when they approve it, I expect by the end of the week.

Fantastic Shakuhachi! Would like koto, shamisen and taiko drums if possible at some point too
I love the expression you can get from the instruments in Thumbjam!
If you want Taiko it is an in-app purchase within DrumJam. The other ones are on the list!
