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.

Still no screen. Sigh.
Missed a trick not including a screen they really need to combine these with a companion app to provide connectivity and usability.
Which one would u go for?
That’s my favourite feature!
@klownshed I agree. Gear with minimal or no-screen are my favorite.
Yah no need for a screen. I love screenless. A companion app is massively needed though. i would have got way more use out of mine if I could have stored sessions and such on my ipad mini without an internet connection / capable browser etc. I mean, the bloody thing has batteries! Sigh. If they actually make a companion app that is good I will totally consider it as I do love my sadly woefuly underused Circuit.... hmmm, that being said I should totaly take my Circuit out of mothballs now and see how sampling it in Maschine feels... dayum!
Looking good. Seems they both have dedicated probability screens (!) and a dedicated preset/sample button. The sampler has "keyboard" and "slice" mode indicators. Promising.
Rhythm is probably a good companion to OG Circuit. I have mine still and never manage samples on there. Since Tracks is just an MKII, better to add Rhythm.
Oh indeed...I gave circuit a chance a while ago, but yeah that thing did not work for me. > @ipadthai said:
Same, I love that they force you to explore by ear instead of scrolling menus.
Exactly my thought.
I’ve been using the original circuit a lot more since playing with the distortion fx settings to give the sounds a bit of movement. Hopefully we’ll see a return of the Circuiting app in some form. The midisynth app is also pretty good, albeit with baffling patch management (for me, at least).

EDIT. Can't record in stereo
EDIT2. Review and tutorial from loopop
IMHO The workflow doesn’t seem appealing at all
Might sell my Circuit OG. Haven't used much in last 8 months. I like the sounds I have on there though and the synth engine is excellent for the price.
Mono samples only, boo.
Just picked one up today and i feel like it will work great in combo with the iPad.
Round 1
Round 2
Found these cool one shot sounds for synth sounds on the Rhythm or any other sampler:

Quite a timely video:
FWIW, I am able to get Midi from the Knobs to work and control CC mapped controls on the iPad. So...this is gonna be cool to combine it with iPad synths and effects as well. So far I am having a blast with it and Drambo
Getting the hang of this wonderful little sampler:
